Alex Drummond and Mauricio Scott’s dog George helped the couple reveal the sex of their baby
There’s another Drummond girl on the way!
Soon-to-be-grandma Ree Drummond recently announced that her eldest daughter Alex, 27, and her husband Mauricio Scott are expecting their first child. The couple shared the exciting news of their baby’ sex in a heartwarming reveal, and their Golden Retriever, George, played a starring role.
“We’re having a……🤭” Alex teased in the caption of their joint Instagram post. Throughout the adorable video, Mauricio fed George a cupcake filled with either blue or pink filling. Once George got to the middle, Alex and Mauricio beamed with joy.
“It’s a girl!” Alex exclaimed, looking at the pink frosting and then sharing a kiss with her husband. “Hopefully George loves his little sister half as much as he loved those cupcakes!” she added in the caption.
Ree was overjoyed in the comments section. “Thank you God for the gift of daughters!! ❤️ We are so happy! Ladd will have her on a horse by the age of two…” wrote the Pioneer Woman star. Ree’s youngest daughter Paige also commented, “Yayyyy!!! Can’t wait to meet my niece 🩷🩷🩷.”
In a Pioneer Woman blog post, Ree mentioned that she initially “encouraged Alex and Mauricio not to find out the gender of their baby” but quickly joined in on the excitement and shared her own ideas for the reveal.
“Once I realized they were going to find out, I encouraged them to do a gender reveal pizza rather than a more traditional method…or, as an alternative, I offered to devote five whole minutes of this Thursday’s Pawhuska fireworks display to their gender reveal,” she wrote in reference to the Fourth of July celebration.
The Food Network star hilariously noted that she “quickly learned this whole process isn’t about me.” Still, she’s absolutely thrilled for her first born.
“To say I’m excited is an understatement! I love my daughters so much. I love the women they are becoming,” Ree wrote. “I love that they are boss over their younger brothers. I freaking love daughters so much.”
Ree finished her post by saying that Alex and Mauricio will be wonderful parents to a little girl.
In June, Ree shared her thoughts on the big news and even guessed the baby’s sex. Spoiler alert: She was wrong. “I feel like it’s a boy, but then again, I have a 50-50 chance of being right,” she said at the time.
She also talked about her emotional reaction to the baby news. “Gosh, it feels totally different than I thought it would feel,” she admitted. “Since we just kind of became empty-nesters, Ladd and I feel like we just finished raising our kids — not even finished! A couple of them are in college, so we’re still raising our kids.”
Alex and Scott celebrated three years of marriage on May 1. Even still, Ree said she wasn’t expecting to become a grandma so soon.
“We weren’t necessarily in a big rush to enter the grandparent stage,” Ree laughed. “I thought when I heard the news eventually, whenever that would be, that I would feel more, ‘Oh no, here it comes.’ But instead, what I think about most is — this is my honest answer — just how happy I am for my daughter and her husband.”
