Greg Bates and his wife have revealed the sex of the baby they are expecting in October.

Bates and wife Shelley Skidmore shared footage from their "Boots or Bows?" gender reveal party to YouTube earlier this month, showing the couple in anticipation as they get ready to pop a balloon filled with confetti. The balloon pop sends blue confetti flying, telling them they are expecting a boy. The excited couple got to share the special moment not only with fans online, but with family and friends who were gathered around.

"It’s official!! We’re having a BOY! @shelleyskidmore and I couldn’t be more excited and blessed to share him with the world," Bates wrote on Instagram to accompany the video.
