Part 2...

As promised, here is Part 2 of our gender reveal party...enjoy!

We finally got to see the "gender-revealing" ultrasound photo. I did not understand what I was looking at!

Still trying to figure it out. Good thing the ultrasound tech knew what she was looking at!

The proud parents-to-be!

Family shot, minus Doodles. Poor thing missed out, but we love her lots!

I love my Sadie baby! So glad she could be a part of the day.

The group shot...such special people!

Me and sweet Auds. Love this girl so much! I hope she and our babe can be great friends!

 

Sadie was watching us while we took pictures out front. 

Me and Dad.

Me and Mom.

A very happy ending to a very special day!

This was such a special day that I will hold close to my heart. I'm so so glad that I followed through on my dream of having a gender reveal party. It was incredibly special to be able to share such a big moment with people we love dearly. 

Reality didn't hit me until Adam and I were away from everyone and all the excitement. We were in the car driving back to Manhattan, and I just started crying sweet tears of joy. I was sitting in the backseat so Sadie could sit in the front passenger seat (1. yes, I realize how pathetic that sounds.  2. it's that or sit in the passenger seat and have a 40 lb. dog in your lap for an hour and fifteen minutes, while pregnant. no thank you.). I started laughing as I wiped my tears and exclaimed to Adam, "I'm crying!" He wondered why and all I could come up with is..."We're going to have a little girl...I can do her hair...!" It had finally sunk in that we were going to have a precious baby girl...that I too would get to have a daughter and share a special bond and friendship with her just like I share with my own mom, and that I would get to do her hair...and on and on...sigh...what a huge blessing from a loving Creator and Father.

We can not wait to begin this adventure with our sweet baby girl!
