We (I) went back and forth as to whether or not we should find out the sex of the baby. Surprises are my favorite but Ryan, 100% wanted to know. The more I thought about it, I didn't really care either way, so why not find out? It would make our routine and transition of having another little one around that mucb easier. We are due two weeks after Christmas day, which can be a busy time of year. We thought it might be nice to have everything ready and the kids use to the idea of which room the baby will be sharing.
Our appointment was right at 20 weeks, August 21st. This was a special day to use already, so it made it even more exciting! This is the day that Ryan and I started dating 12 years ago AND the day he proposed to me 7 years ago! The perfect end to this day was having a gender reveal party with our family to reveal boy or girl!
After our morning appointment with Dr. Brown, we were given an envelope with the Sonogram and the word "boy" or "girl" written on it. My sister Sara came by after work and I gave her the envelope so she could prepare for the party. We didn't know how she was going to reveal the sex of the baby. Big thanks to her for preparing the surprise!
The plan was to have everyone write down their pick and then take a picture of all the blue shirts and all the pink shirts...but like every party, it went by fast and there was a lot going on!
Our reactions :
Ryan: "I'm out numbered!" & "Another wedding to pay for!"
Jenna: "I knew it!"
Nolan: He kept screaming "Sister, sister!"
Nora: She was simply happy!
Feeling excited and can't wait to get ready for our sweet girl!!!
