Boy oh boy

First off, I feel like I have a ton to talk about. But I'll just start with one thing at a time.

Friday, September 7: Dr appointment to find out gender...but we didn't find out. Boo. We do have this cutie picture though.

Saturday, September 8: Suspense.

Sunday, September 9: Gender Reveal!

We had a very simple get together with our families and of course, Ashley. This was the simple set up: Some pink poofs, blue poofs, muddy buddies with pink m&ms and then a bowl with blue m&ms, some cheese and crackers, a fruit plate (with a yummy cream cheese dip!), and blue punch and pink punch!

Blue Poofs

Pink Poofs

The best blue and pink punch we could come up with. That ish is not easy.

Fruit!

Cheese. Crackers.

 And of course a wonderful surprise cake! Thank you, Katie Lamb! And Daphne's Simply Southern Bakery in Mint Hill. Pretty, huh?

 We also had some flowers and of course blue polka napkins pink damask napkins. Choose your colors accordingly!

Our legit reaction. Talk about a surprise. I thought it was a girl, and my whole family thought girl. I thought Casey and his family thought boy, but come to find out they all thought girl (just wanted boy!). So, basically we all thought it was going to be a girl. As soon as we cut into the cake, I thought I saw pink, so I didn't have much of a reaction...I'll have to include the video for your viewing pleasure. Then Casey, pulled up the piece of cake, and this is what went down. Complete shock! What do I do with a boy!

   

We were supposed to leave for our Babymoon Cruise the next day (post to come), so we went to Old Navy after everyone left to buy some boy clothes :) We found the most pimp shoes. I'm so stoked. Boy clothes can be cute too!!!!! Forget bubble skirts and rompers and rouching! Bring on the dirt and newsie hats and little tiny skinny jeans and sailboat and race car shirts!

The arrow is between his legs, pointing to his "turtle". That's what the ultrasound tech called it, and I kind of love the term. I think I'll just have to start using it.

A boy!
