Baby T is a Girl!!!

Tonight was Baby T’s Gender Reveal Party!!  I have been saying all along that Nathan and Laura were having a girl and I was RIGHT!!! And I’m so Happy about it!!  We need another baby girl in the family after my 2 boys! 

They had their party at the Farmer’s Fork in Mt Holly.  They opened it up for a private event.  We had a yummy soup, salad, and potato bar!

First off, we picked out our pins…a mustache or lips.  Of course I picked lips!!  Then we had to blow up balloons…after we blew them up they told us we had to put them in our shirts to be like Laura! Just for pictures! A pregnant belly is something I don’t miss!  But I do miss the feeling of a baby moving inside my belly!

Mom….wowzers!!!

Caine…I’m sure he loved doing this!!

MawMaw….would be a cute preggers great grandma!!

Daddy…..hilarious!!

Jay Jay and Me….Joy wore the perfect color to disguise a prego belly!!

Ryder was representing for team girl too!!

And so was Maddox!

Taylor was just having a blast playing with all the balloons once they came out from underneath the shirts!

I love how the boys were all playing together!

The beautiful Mother to Be!!!! Pink it is!!!

The boys having a Monster Jam in the restaurant. 

One person had the special cupcake that told the gender…it was not ours…but the cupcakes were heavenly!!

Andrea will find out in a few weeks if Taylor will have a brother or sister!!  All these pregnancies….so much fun!!  I love this stage of life!!

I’m so excited for Laura and Nathan!  Now it’s time to start some serious planning for her!!!! Yay!!!

Gender Reveal Party!!!

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

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!!!

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!!
