Telling the Girls

Rich and I enjoyed keeping our little secret for a day!  That is about how long we waited to tell the girls that we were pregnant, so I guess we could wait a day to tell them if it was a boy or girl. 

I had envisioned a huge box full of blue balloons floating up into the sky.

 Yeah, not so much. It was too cold and the girls were being crazy silly and we didn't have a big enough box. So we compromised and really didn't get those adorable pictures that you see online. 

 Oh well, the girls were pretty excited anyway. We had to get 2 balloons because there are 2 girls... but at one point Ryann looked at me and said, "THERE ARE TWO BABIES???"

No Ryann, there are not two babies. Just two balloons. 

Gender Reveal to Family and Friends

For this baby I wanted to do something special for when we found out the gender. I didn't care boy/girl I just wanted to make a big deal out of it. Rich wanted to know why I was making such a big deal out of it.  I told him there were many reasons:

1. Pinterest

2. If it was another girl I wanted to convince myself to be just as excited as if it was a boy

3. It was the first baby that Rich got to find out if it was a boy or a girl with me!

4. It took a lot longer to get pregnant with this baby than our others

5. And seriously who doesn't want an awesome cake or celebration?

 So I made the cake and the girls decorated it with the pink and blue candies we got.

 Then we headed over to the Baker's house and had some family on facetime when we cut the amazing blue cake!

We are so excited that we are having a bouncing baby boy.
