[TOM: I'm wearing blue and you're wearing blue]
- What does that mean?
[TOM: So it's a boy]
- 'cause of the colour we're wearing? [TOM: Yep!]
- Alright, gender reveal time!
I have been thinking about this moment for so long
because I love watching these types of videos
and I always wondered how mine is going to be
and today's the moment!
We did an early blood test for genetic screening
and in that, they test all 23 chromosomes
Since the sex will be revealed on the 23rd chromosome
we were able to find that out at the same time as well
The results took about a week to get
and I asked them not to tell me over the phone
They gave me the results of the genetic testing over the phone
but the gender, they put in a sealed envelope
for my assistant to pick up so that we would have no idea
I think this is quite a common thing
because when I asked for them to do this, they were like,
"Oh, yeah, for sure," like they didn't have any questions
But yeah, when we were talking about this, I ...
I really wanted to do the pregnancy test
and have the whole surprise element
to tell Tom that I was pregnant
which I didn't get this time around
So when receiving the news that we were pregnant
it felt very clinical
So for this portion, I wanted to do something special
and not find out in a clinic
We were trying to come up with something different
and what we are going to do today is dimsum ...
Oh, we didn't think of a title
Uhh...
I was gonna say like roulette [- Mmmm]
- Yeah, we're doing a dim sum reveal
Pink and blue or colourful dimsum doesn't really exist
And the problem is the outside wrapper is usually quite transparent
So we had to figure out a way to put colors on the inside
without seeing it on the outside
We tried a bunch of things and in the end went with
coloured soy meat wrapped in regular soy meat
wrapped in rice paper and then steamed
There are seven pieces total and it's like roulette
So once we get to four of the same color that will reveal the gender
So we're going to slowly eat through them
and we're going to figure out what it is!
Okay!
[TOM: I'm so nervous!]
- Yeah, I feel so nervous too but I don't know why
'cause it literally doesn't matter
What was important was in the blood test
they also tested the baby's chromosomes
and also my health and everything
and everything is really good so that's all we can ask for
[TOM: Let's do it!]
- Wait! Wait! [- I just need to... (set up the cameras)]
In some countries such as the United States, Italy,
Mexico, Thailand and several others
when you do IVF, you are able to do gender testing on the embryos
and then you can select which gender you want to transfer
but here in Hong Kong it's illegal to both
test the gender of the embryos and choose the gender
I think mostly due to ethical reasons
so neither the doctor or we had any idea which sex was transferred
[TOM: Let's do it!]
- Who's going first?
[TOM: Not all the same?] - Yep
Pink! [TOM: It's pink!]
[TOM: First one is pink]
- ... for girl!
Blue!
[ASSISTANT: Hmmm!]
[TOM: Okay, the third one...]
[It's blue!] - Blue!
[TOM: Blue?]
[I think it's blue]
- Blue! Oh-oh!
[TOM: So it's like three blue, one pink?] - Three blue, one pink!
Last one, it could be, if you get ...
If it's a blue, it's a boy!
All three need to be pink if it's a girl
[TOM: Pink!]
- Pink! (laughing)
Oh my gosh...
(whispering) I'm so nervous!
[TOM: Boy or girl?]
[TOM: Oh!!] - Blue! It's a boy! [It's a boy!]
(laughing)
[I know it! I feel that today]
- It's a boy! (laughing)
[TOM: Baby boy coming!]
- This is our little boy!
We're having a boy!
How do you feel?
[TOM: Excited!]
[Yeah, I'm thinking of the color of the wall already]
- Wah, everyone thought it was a girl
[ASSISTANT: Oh, really?]
- Everyone around me thought it was a girl
[TOM: So many people around me saying like...]
[You have a... (What is 岳父相 in English?)]
[ASSISTANT: Oh... Father-in-law?]
[TOM: I have a face that looks like a father-in-law]
- Ohhh [TOM: I don't know why]
- Even the fortune teller also predicted...
[TOM: It's a girl?]
- Yeah
[ASSISTANT: Oh really?] [TOM: Oop, then he's wrong!]
- He predicted the date of my pregnancy correctly
[- 2022, like, three years later]
[The year of the Tiger will be the best for you]
[I think it's in the spring of Tiger]
- And back then I thought he was so wrong
because there was no way it was going to take that long
But turns out he was right
And he predicted that my firstborn would be a girl though
[- You're going to have a daughter]
[Okay, you're going to have a daughter]
[TOM: It's a boy!]
- It's a boooooy!
We're having a son!
[ASSISTANT: How do you feel?]
- I'm good either way
[- Mmhmm?]
- Yeah, I'm happy [TOM: Mmm!]
- Happy that we could just finally get pregnant
It's been so long... Three years.
Waaaah, we're having a boy!
The weather's so nice!
Where are we?
[TOM: We are coming back to the temple]
[and saying thank you to the...]
[What's that called?]
[Che Kung]
- Why?
[Because...]
[our wishes...]
[our wishes are coming true]
- Specifically which one?
[Having a baby!]
- (laughing)
I have now graduated from the inner scan with the...
my wand friend
to the tummy scan!
It feels so great
Whoa! It looks quite...
He is growing
But it feels great to do it this way
Oh, I know it's a him now!
[DR. KONG: Okay!] (laughing)
[DR. KONG: Okay, no problem!]
[It's a cute one, just a little bit big]
[Still within the range, don't worry!]
(laughing)
- I'm enjoying this too much, I'm eating too much
Now the shopping starts and the naming
I had a few girls' names picked out but I don't have any boys
so I would love some help with that
I actually really like gender neutral names
like my name Taylor can be whatever
Please feel free to leave them below in the comments
I will definitely be checking
And thank you so much for watching our gender reveal
It's a boy!
See you guys next time!
[TOM: Boy!]
- Boy!
