Gender Reveal Party

We had our gender reveal party two days after Colby & I found out the gender of our baby. It was soooo hard keeping the secret from EVERYONE... but it was beyond worth it!

 

Here is our invitation



 

 

Old Wives Tales for a boy and girl... I circled the one that was me. It was 50/50... so not much help!

 

Everyone signed in under which team they were on. Everyone also wore that color to the party. It was so much fun!

 

 

TEAM BLUE

 

 



 

TEAM PINK

 

 

We even had some team blue vs. team pink games!

 

The girls had to change a diaper...

 

The boys had to chug beer from a baby bottle. It was hilarious!

 

Ready for the BIG REVEAL.....

 

IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Everyone was so surprised and excited for the wonderful news!!!

 

 

 

 

Halloween Costumes

This year for Halloween... we (...let's be real... I) wanted to do a couples costume that also involved the baby. The shirts with the skeleton babies kind of creep me out... so that wasn't going to happen. So... this is what I came up with. LOL... It was cheap.. and easy! Our friends loved it :)

At my appointment at the beginning of my 2nd trimester... the nurse told me I gained one pound. I looked at her like she was nuts! lol... I am excited (<-- weird to be excited) to see what the scale says at my next appointment. I am thinking it was only 1 pound because I may have lost a little because I am drinking so much water and eating better (sometimes haha) so it evened out to 1 pound. Thats the only way it makes it a little believable for me. lol
