Monday was such a big day!!! I had been anxiously waiting for January 24th to get here so that we could find out if we were having a BOY or GIRL! Honestly, I had totally prepared myself for it to be a girl but I truly had no idea to what the baby would be. A friend did the needle and thread test on me and it told me GIRL…Also, I could only imagine a GIRL nursery. On the other hand my pregnancy feels the exact same as my pregnancy with Maddox and I could only think of BOY names .
My Ultrasound appointment was at 2:00. As soon as the tech put the thing on my belly….there it was…nice and clear…a little hotdog!!! Chris and I just giggled with excitement!!!
At 6, all my family and some close friends came over to find out if Baby C is a BOY or GIRL!!! It’s really funny because no one around this area has heard of a Gender Reveal Party and so most people looked at me like I had 2 heads when I told them I was having one! ha! But I’m so glad I did because I had lots of fun planning it and lots of fun at the party. It was so special to share the breaking news with everyone in person!
Get ready for picture overload!!!
The menu for the night was
Pizza
Salad
Chicken Buffalo Ranch Dip
Fruit and Fruit Dip
Cupcakes
Assorted Candies
Crazy Uncle Brennan made his own special shirt for the occasion!!! He is just tooo funny!!
My Emmie!!!
The Travis Family
Some of my beautiful friends!
Cute little Sydni
The PawPaw’s having a PowWow!!
It’s time for the Games to begin….I went thru my guesstures game and picked out cards that related to a baby or a boy or girl! We did 4 rounds and Team Girl Won!
This pic is hilarious….I think Laura was acting out the word SNORE!
The Turner Family
Keenan and Beckham
Maddox and his Pawpaw Tom
Now it’s time for Team Girl to battle it out in a quick game of Mad Gab! I also went thru those cards and picked out baby related cards. I called out each clue and the person to guess the right answer first got to pick an envelope. I had 10 envelopes to choose from!
Time to open the envelopes…..could one of them have the REVEAL????
Okay so I tricked everybody and the reveal was not in any of the envelopes that got picked. It is in the one in Aunt Jay Jay’s hand. It worked our perfect b/c my sister was running late….she walked in just in time and Chris gave Maddox the REAL REVEAL envelope and he went running to Aunt Jay Jay and so she got to open it for him.
Team Girl was shocked!!!! Everyone just knew it was a girl! They wanted to see my Ultra Sound pics for proof. As soon as they saw them…they said “ Oh my gosh…definitely a boy!!!”
Team Boy!!!
Team GIRL!!!!
Me and My good friend Andrea….we are 9 days apart and SO EXCITED to be prego together!!!
Baby Karsyn and Melinda!!
What an Amazing Day!!!! We are just so overjoyed about our Baby Boy and we can’t wait to start planning…names…nursery…etc.
Thank you to all our family and friends for taking time out of there evening to come celebrate our news. We are so blessed and overwhelmed by the love and support we have!!
