Gender Reveal Party...

We FINALLY had our Gender Reveal Party yesterday!!! And oh my goodness...it was definitely one of the BEST days of our lives. Before I share all the pictures let me start by explaining how our week started.

 

David and I had  our gender scan on Monday morning. We prepared a card for the ultrasound technician to mark if we were having a boy or girl. It was SO hard not to look at the screen, as it had been three weeks since our last ultrasound. But after she discovered the gender of our baby, we were able to enjoy the rest of the appointment and saw Baby Knight rolling all around and showing off for the camera. After our appointment I took the card and gave it to two of my friends at work. They helped me with the decorations and the BIG reveal for our party. It was a LONG week of waiting, but oh so worth every single minute.

 

Here are a LOT of pictures from our party...

 

 

 

My friend Allie created this special sign for our party. It was even cuter than I had imagined!! My plan is to use it again when we have the baby on the hospital door.

 

 

I had a great time decorating our cake table. I picked up this shadow box to display a few of our ultrasound pictures, our Gender Reveal Party invitation, and a special little onesie we had monogrammed to read "Our Miracle." We used the frames on the left for the pictures we took later for all the guests that wore either blue or pink.

 

 

I LOVED how the cake turned out. I ordered the cake at the beginning of the week and then had my friends call the baker so she would know what color batter to put on the inside.

 

 

I decorated our mantel with our "We're Expecting" sign, flowers, and a sweet blue and pink banner made by Blue Moon Studios.

 

 

I have this frame in our guest bathroom and change out the verses from time to time. This verse seemed appropriate for the day...

 

 

We took a few pre-party pictures with our immediate family...

The big brother :) LOVE this picture!!!

 

We had such a fun time seeing what color our family chose to wear for the big reveal. Here are all those that thought BOY...

 

 

And the GIRL group...

 

Notice that Pops (my dad) couldn't decide...so he chose both blue and pink :)

 

David and I...

 

 

We then invited everyone back inside and explained how our appointment went and that we didn't discover the gender either. We shared that my friends came over to our house that day and placed balloons in the nursery with the color of the gender.

 

We opened the door and this is what we saw...

 

 

PINK!!! I still can't believe we are having a baby girl. I had convinced myself that our little miracle was a boy, but I can honestly say I've never been so thankful to be WRONG!!! This sweet baby is already the love of my life.

 

 

 

 

We shed a LOT of happy tears, hugs, and big smiles too :)

 

This is probably my favorite  picture of the day!!! I just love our smiles and the pretty pink balloons :)

 

Our gender reveal cake...

 

 

And last but not least, the card that we had the ultrasound technician circle the gender and the ultrasound pictures from that day...

 

 

What a special day...we are having a DAUGHTER!!!!

 

This is the video from the reveal...make sure you watch until the end where David reads the card (and make sure you have some kleenex) :)
