Gender Reveal

The final results of the gender poll showed 55% in favor of girl. If you were part of the majority congratulations you were right! We are having a GIRL!!!!! I must say I didn't realize how much I thought it was a boy until it wasn't. I totally had to switch gears but once the initial shock went away the excitement began to kick in.

Our doctor's appointment was at 9:00am we got to see our sweet girl about 5 or 10 minutes later. She was shy at first she would hold her hands over her eyes to hide her face...soooo cute!!!!

 

 

The next video you will see two legs and nothing in between......

We planned to have a gender reveal party to tell the family the gender Friday night. After our appointment we went and made copies of the sonogram. We made 5 copies, one for the parents and each set of grandparents. We had 15 pink balloons filled and placed them in the nursery. We taped the sonogram pics to the strings and locked the nursery door.

We decided to have a scavenger hunt leading everyone to the nursery for the reveal. Here are the clues I came up with......


1) The answer you should find, only if you're able is under the kitchen _______. (this led the family to the table were the next clue was taped underneath.

2) Little boys will spray their clothes when they use the water _______. (this led to the water hose located in the garage)

3) Girls will get some lovin' when there's something cooking in the ______. (this clue led to the oven)

4) Boys don't squat they use the _______. (this one led to the "pot"/ toilet)

5) A girl will always laugh when she's in the bubble______. (this one led to the bathtub)

6) In the living space little boys will set fire to something in the_______. (this one led to the fireplace)

7) Boys and girls alike love play with a balloon, here's a key to  the baby's ______. (this one led to the family to take the key and unlock the baby's room filled with pink balloons with sonogram pics that read "It's a girl".

Saturday Justin, Momma, JoNell and I went to Birmingham to do a little shopping. Mom surprised me with a few dresses she saved from when I was a baby. JoNell started from scratch by buying baby girl some new ones. Justin and I ordered her furniture...

We ordered everything seen here except the hutch. We thought it would just be too big in her room.

I have picked out her bedding. However, since we are having it made we are going to wait until 20 weeks before we order it (just to make sure she stays a she).....

I am thinking we will paint 3 walls a khakish-pewter color and maybe paint the wall behind the crib a shade of yellow. Although this makes me nervous because yellow is just a hard color to get just right so we will see.

Well that's that.....

Until Next Time..........
