Gender Reveal Party

When I found out I was pregnant I knew I wanted to have a gender reveal party for this baby.  I just thought it would be such a fun way to celebrate our second baby.  I mentioned it to my Mom and she got so excited about it.  She and my Aunt Linette went all out and made this such a special day for us!

This party was just a fun way to celebrate this baby.  None of us care whether the baby is a boy or girl, either one will be great!

I absolutely love this wreath my Mom had made.  I may never take it down!





Aunt Linette made this awesome voting booth.









She also made the photo booth!

































My Mom even had her nails painted pink and blue!









My Mom dyed bubbles pink and blue and made blowers out of pipe cleaners.  They were so cute and the kids loved them!







Time for the big reveal!  Do you see how big the cannon is?



I was making sure my setting were good and Aunt Linette was my model.  I love these two pictures of her!





It's time.  Are you ready??????

It's a...



BOY!!!!!!!!!















I was completely shocked!  I was so convinced it was a girl because this has been such a different pregnancy and most of the old wives tales pointed towards girl.  But I am thrilled to have another little boy!!!

I think someone else is excited about another boy too!



I included this picture because it shows off my bump.  I can't believe I still have 18 more weeks to go!

















After the reveal, we had to check the ultrasound picture to make sure it really was a boy!  It is!



This ultrasound picture has been in my Mom's purse for 3 weeks.  She never looked!  She showed it to the confetti canon guy and he wrote down what color needed to be put in and sealed it back and gave it to her.  I can't believe she didn't look, but it was really fun knowing that no one at the party knew the gender until the big reveal.





Here's a video I made of the day:



I am so incredibly excited to have another boy and I know Stephen is too!  I am excited for Stephen to have a brother and I hope they will be the best of friends.

This was such a fun and happy day and exactly what we needed.  I am so thankful for all of the work my Mom and Aunt Linette put into this party and for all of our family and friends for coming and making this a special day for us.

This little boy is already so loved!  I can't wait to meet him!
