Fast forward to 20 weeks

At 20 weeks we had our ultrasound, but found out a little bit differently this time.  We wanted to know ahead of time, but still wanted to do something different.  A gender reveal party with our family was the perfect solution.  It was so much fun and I'm so glad we did it this way.

The ultrasound revealed a healthy little baby. We took Hannah and Isaac with us for the u/s.  Their favorite part was seeing the baby kick it's feet and going back through all the pictures at the end.

The u/s tech put the gender in and envelope and we took it home with us.  It sat in my purse for several days while we waited for family to come into town for memorial day.  It wasn't hard at first, but the closer it got to the reveal..the more anxious and excited I got.

 So excited...

 We were thrilled to have both of our families here to celebrate with us.

 it's a....

GIRL!!!  

 I was so, so surprised!  

 Everyone wore the color that matched the gender they thought.  I shared old wives tales and we kept a tally of how many for each gender.
