Because today, having a baby isn’t exciting enough, soon-to-be moms and dads are all trying to outdo each other when it comes to finding out whether they’ll have a girl or a boy. Sometimes it goes well, but many times these stunts end with disastrous results: injuries, fires, tears, and more.

That brings me to the story of how Carrie Underwood took part in a ruined gender reveal. I won’t go so far to say Carrie herself ruined it, but she definitely had her hand in it … (video below)

During a show in Salt Lake City recently, Carrie Underwood saw a sign in the audience asking Carrie to let the soon-to-be mom know whether she was having a boy or a girl. The mom, Sydnie Ledbetter, had an envelope that contained a note from her doctor’s office that contained the sex of the baby. Easy-Peasy, right? Not so much.

Carrie was handed the envelope and read the results to Sydnie and the crowd. She is having a … GIRL! You can imagine, Sydnie went wild, the crowd went wild, and everyone was super happy and on cloud-nine.

BUT …

Sydnie went to the doctor the next day and the nurse who wrote the note was mortified. She apparently  misread Sydnie’s chart. She’s not having a girl. Sydnie is having a baby boy. (scroll down for the video)

With a little help from her friends, Sydnie got the news to Carrie who said, “silver lining: boys are awesome!”
