Gender Reveal

For Brooklynne's gender reveal we had both Matt's family and my parents meet us at BJ's Brewery for dessert and the waiter brought out a giant pizookie with "It's a Girl!" written on it.

For this one, we wanted to have it just be the three of us (and our photographer), and I'm so glad we did it that way.  I had my ultrasound on Friday morning, and we didn't do the reveal until Saturday morning.  So I had to wait with this envelope sitting on my table for over a day...pure misery.  Luckily I have a 3 year old, so she helped distract me.

Saturday morning Matt decorated a box with the words "It's a..." on the outside and I brought it over to Grand Events and had them fill it with balloons.  Instead of waiting there, I went over to Barnes and Nobles, bought a latte and sat...anxiously.  They filled up the box, called me, and I picked it up.  

Giana with Giana Silva Photography came over and took pictures while we opened the box.  I really thought it was a boy, and since I was so convinced, Matt was too.  I was still surprised to see the blue balloons come out of the box.  

At first on Facebook I posted this, and it was so funny to read everyone's guesses and annoyances about us posting it in black and white, seriously got a good laugh!

But then I posted the color one.  It was so much fun to find out this way!!

We are so excited about Cooper August Lung, and we can't wait to meet him in a few weeks!!!
