After Rodriguez counts down from 3, 2, 1 off camera, the kids pop the balloons.
Pink confetti comes out of one of the balloons, while blue confetti comes out of the other, which means that the couple is going to have ... a boy and a girl.
The euphoric children shout: "It's a boy!" While the girls chant: "It's a girl!"
As the celebrations continue, the excitement is too much for the youngest child, 4-year-old Mateo, who begins to cry.
