When fall rolls around, the world seems to go gaga for pumpkins – whether it’s the much-loved pumpkin spice latte, pumpkin-themed clothing, and even pumpkin-scented beauty products.
But one couple from Oshawa, Ontario, took their love of the fall favorite to the next level when they used a large orange squash to help reveal the gender of their unborn child in a sweet video.
Expectant mother Court St Jules, shared the video on her Instagram, revealing cute footage of herself and her partner of a few years, Chris Peralta, at their gender reveal party – presumably surrounded by family and friends who are standing behind the camera.
Celebration! Ontario couple Court St James and Chris Peralta used a smoking pumpkin to reveal the gender of their first child together
In true Autumn-enthusiast style, the couple can be seen standing behind a pedestal of haystacks, while hoisting a giant orange pumpkin with a big question mark painted on the front of it.
The excited couple then anxiously wait as the pumpkin begins to slowly smoke from the top.
Within seconds the tiny plume of grey smoke has turned into a large blue cloud – indicating the gender of Court and Chris’s very first child together, a beautiful baby boy who is due in March 2018.
And clearly the news was exactly what the couple wanted to hear; as soon as the blue smoke became visible, the couple can be seen holding their hands up in celebration, before kissing one another happily as the pumpkin continue to smoke in front of them.
Indeed, Court actually revealed on Instagram that she and her partner have been ‘team boy’ since the moment they found out about her pregnancy, revealing the couple’s joy at their happy news in the caption shared alongside the video.

One big happy family: Court and Chris are ‘elementary-school sweethearts’ and met when Court was just 11-years-old; they announced their pregnancy in September 2017
‘When you’re both team boy from the beginning and your wish comes true #genderreveal #teamboy’ she said of the video.
However, although their gender reveal idea was one that the world hasn’t seen much of before, Court and Chris are by no means the first parents-to-be to put such creativity into the milestone moment.
How can the world ever forget about the Navy widow who honoured her late husband with a Veteran’s Day reveal with the help of his former servicemen, for example.
Or what about the couple from Croydon, London, who in a twisted turn of events, had a gender reveal, that turned into a marriage proposal!
While one thing is for sure, we are sick of anything pumpkin related, gender reveals will never get old.
