"It was the morning of my auntie's gender reveal, and I wanted everything to be perfect.

Even though she already knew about the reveal, it was still going to be a surprise because she had no idea how anything was going to look or who was going to be there.

I was excited to get everything ready. I told Tic to take her out of the house so we could decorate, and my grandma could cook.

It was 8 am, and the shower was supposed to be starting at 6, but you know Black people never start on time. I still wanted to start somewhat on time, so as soon as they left, Keyshawn and I got in the car and headed to the store to pick everything up.

The first stop was Party City to pick up the gender reveal balloon, so I handed the worker that envelope that contained the gender, and they made the balloon in 10 minutes.

By that time, Keyshawn collected all the decorations, we paid, and left. When we got home, grandma was cooking.

She had some stuff down like the greens and her famous punch, so Keyshawn and I started setting up the backyard. The party theme was going to be Rugrats theme, so I started setting up the snacks table.

I put blue and pink candy, chips, blue and pink punch. Then, I knew my auntie can't drink, but everyone else can, so I got pink and blue shots. Once I finished that, I got like these little pin things so people could wear what gender they think she was having.

Once I finished that, I went to check on Zuri, who was inside with my grandma. She was in her playpen, playing with her toys. She's so cute. Her daddy was at the cake store picking up the cake.

Once I knew she was okay, I put her back in her playpen and went back outside to finish up. I wrote on the fence with some washable paint, 'Am I a Lil or a Phill?' By that time, K4 came back with the cake."

"Yes, I went all out because this lady does a lot for me, so I wanted this party to be over the top

"Everything was ready, and it was now 6. Grandma was still cooking, but again, you know Black people aren't going to start arriving until 6:30.

So, I took a quick shower, got dressed, and texted Tic to keep her out a little longer while we were still getting the last-minute stuff together. Then, I got Zuri washed up and dressed. Her daddy did the same thing.

Different people started coming in 20 minutes later. Most people were already here drinking and smoking.

So, I told Tic to start heading back before my auntie got back. I decided to make a little announcement: 'Excuse me, everyone. I just want to thank you for coming to celebrate my auntie and her new baby. I want to make this one of the top ten best days of her life.

So, please help do that by not starting anything with people you don't like because y'all could have fought already. Don't come here trying to run up and don't stress her out because I won't hesitate to f*ck you up today.

So, let's just make this a good night, okay? Y'all can get back to what you're doing. We're going to start eating when my auntie gets here.' Five minutes later, Tic guided my blindfolded auntie in.

Once she got right in front of everyone, Tic took it off."

Here's your corrected and punctuated text: "When Tic took my blindfold off, I was so surprised.

Everyone was here, even Jamal. 🙄 But I gotta think, this still is his baby. I was walking around, talking to everyone when Dija said it was time to eat.

So, everyone let me go first. I got my plate and had macaroni, collard greens, those bomb-ass baby shower meatballs, fried chicken, and rice.

(A/N: This is exactly what my plate looks like, and I bust it every time, no lie.)

After I got my plate, everyone else got theirs. I was sitting down eating before Jamal told me he wanted to talk. I told Dija and Keyshawn I would be right back.

Then, me and Jamal walked off to the side. Then, he basically started apologizing, saying he wanted his family back and different things, like him cheating was the worst decision of his life, and that he wanted his son or daughter to grow up in a home with both parents. I told him I wanted that too, but one thing I could never do is take back a cheating man.

So, even though I'm going to have love for you, I can't keep the relationship with you anymore, knowing you cheated. Because if you love me, you never would have cheated, especially with someone you know I have bad blood with. To be honest, the most I could do with you, Jamal, is co-parent.

Anything more is a no. He looked down and said he understood. So, we went back to the party. Then, I talked to a few family members I haven't talked to in a few years and stuff. Then, everyone was taking pictures and still eating. Then, it was time to find the gender of my second child.

This was such a surreal moment. I would never have thought I would be having a child this late in life, but it's still a blessing to be having a child at any age, no matter how old or young.

But, Dija went and got the balloon out of the house, then everyone got their phone out, ready. I stood in front of the Rugrats."Took a few pictures, then Dija brought me the knife, and everyone started counting from "3, 2, 1..." It's a BOY!💙 I'm having another boy!

I'm so happy. I kinda wanted a girl, but I was happy with whatever God wanted me to have. Surprisingly, everyone guessed boy. I was really the only one who guessed girl, but the only thing I wanted is a healthy baby.
==================================
well auntie having a boy if you wanted her to have a girl i'm sorry i wanted her to have one too so thank the wheel🥲
