The Gender Reveal Party {Better Late than Never}

We wanted to do something a little special for baby #2 since it seems like this pregnancy has been flying by! We decided to not find out the gender right away, but to be surrounded by friends and bite into cake balls to be surprised. :)

I started off the morning by going to the 20 week ultra-sound by myself because Nate had a meeting he couldn't get away from. I got to see our sweet little baby moving all over the place! The ultra-sound technician stuck the gender in an envelope and I had to wait till that evening to know what was inside!!

Here is a picture of me with the envelope.

I dropped off the envelope with a family friend who was going to be making cake-balls that contained the color related to the gender of the baby, so the inside was going to be either pink or blue.

At 6 that night, we had friends show up for the Gender Reveal Party. Here are some pictures of the party and the decorations...
Pick your team. Boy- grab a mustache. Girl- take a pair of lips

Taking a bite....it's a GIRL! {BTW- I was completely shocked! I was so sure it was a boy.}

It's pink- we're SO excited about having another little girl

I'm so glad we were able to do something fun for baby #2 and to create a fun memory as a family :0)
