It's a...

Sorry it has taken me so long to write this post! My friend had some of our pictures on her camera, and I wanted to get them before I posted the pictures. I must say, Saturday was an incredible day. I think I was excited about the gender reveal party, but it definitely exceeded my expectations! It was amazing to have our family and friends together to celebrate the special news.

In retrospect, I also think it was the first day in this pregnancy I have allowed myself to feel completely joyful and celebrate without guarding my emotions. It was amazing! Here are some pictures of the joyous occasion!

Team girl...all dressed in pink.

Team blue...yes, I was wearing blue proudly and confidently.

Kev and I were the team captains, proudly wearing our opposing colors.

The cake. I was paranoid to open the box because I was afraid our surprise would be spoiled by a blue or pink crumb.
Do we cut the cake down the middle or cut a piece??

Middle it is.

IT'S A GIRL!!
Shocked and so excited!

I actually was surprisingly emotional...it made it more real to me. Maybe it's just all these crazy hormones.

So thankful for our friends the Edwards who threw a great party and who have taught us so much about what it means to be great parents!

And their adorable little boys!!
