It's a.....

We decided to have a pinterest-inspired gender reveal party to announce the gender of our little peanut and it was soooo fun! 

It all started with me perusing through Walmart like a crazy woman one Monday night at about 11pm to find the perfect box for our little reveal.  I knew it needed to be a pretty big box to house enough balloons to make an impact, so I probably made at least 10 laps around the store asking employees where I could find the biggest one they had.  After some pretty funny looks and some very tired legs after my 12 hr shift, I found the perfect one.  Thankfully, Jason is the king of wrapping gifts (and I mean it...he is a perfectionist with the seams and folds), so as soon as I got the box home he asked which paper he'd be wrapping it in (I love that he just knew I couldn't tackle the wrapping like he could).  I made a cute little heart with a the phrase "It's a......." in the center and called it a night.
 
Unfortunately, I had to wait 1 more day until the ultrasound AND THEN came the fun part.  After our morning ultrasound on Wednesday, Catherine (our friend and ultrasound tech) called Card Factory Outlet (after I had dropped the box off there) and told them which color balloons (blue or pink) to place in the box.  She and I made it VERY clear....DO NOT let the family know which color is in there!

That evening after my parents picked up the box, they delivered it to Pam and Rick's where we had several of our friends and family waiting for the reveal. 

Now remember....we have no idea what color balloons are in the box either.

So the wait was excrutiating!  How do people last 40 weeks?! 

Trying to explain to Ansley what was about to happen 

Here we go....

It's a.....

Girl!!!! 

Can you see my shock? And Jason's saying..."another wedding to pay for!" Ha! 

Ansley, you're getting a little sister! 

After all of it, Ansley was hilarious.  She went around to all her little friends giving them hugs and telling them she was going to get a baby sister.  It was precious!

And there you have it...another sweet girl! We are so excited!

Thanks goes out to my friend, Sheri for capturing this moment with some awesome images and to all our friends/family that shared in this special time!
