An auntie-to-be left her family in hysterics at a gender reveal when she accidentally shot herself in the face with a colored powder cannon.
German Nielsen and his wife, Alexandria, from Suffolk County, New York, wanted to plan a special gender reveal, as Alexandria is an only child and her parents were excited about their first grandchild.
Being an only child, Alexandria, 32, has an incredibly close relationship with her sisters-in-law, Daniela and Micaela, who asked to help with the couple’s gender reveal.
On November 23, 2024, the families gathered at Alexandria’s parents’ house in Yaphank, where various members were given confetti cannons and powder poppers, which would be pink or blue.

Meanwhile, Daniela and Micaela were given bigger roles of shooting much larger, fire-extinguisher style cannons.
While everyone else’s cannons and poppers went to plan, shooting a burst of color into the air, Daniela had a little trouble.
The 30-year-old had accidentally covered the nozzle with her finger, so instead of all the powder shooting in the right direction, it had blasted straight into her face.
Everyone who saw her pink-coated face was left with no doubt that the couple were expecting a baby girl.

The hilarious moment was captured on video by various family members, with Daniela unable to do anything but stand still in shock and laugh.
Alexandria said: “Things didn’t go exactly as planned… it made for an unforgettable – and hilarious – reveal.
“Honestly, my husband and I were still in shock, trying to process the fact that we were having a girl –even though deep down, I had felt it in my soul all along.
“Once the excitement settled and we had a moment to take it all in, we looked over and realized Daniela was absolutely covered in powder.
“We couldn’t stop laughing – it was in her hair, her teeth, but, thankfully, not her eyes.
“I felt so bad, but she was such a great sport about it and laughed along with us.”
