So I'm super late in posting this, as it happened MONTHS ago, but better late than never. We decided to not find out the gender of the baby and to have a party so we could find out with our families. We went for a scan and had the technician put the gender in a sealed envelope. We gave the envelope to my sister who gave it to a girl that worked at Party City and told her to put the appropriate color of confetti in a big black balloon. We took the balloon to Ken's grandparent's house, where our families we gathered and popped it to see what baby was! It was so much fun to include everyone in the special moment. None of us knew so it was a really fun surprise for everyone!
My sister, with her super creative skills, put everything together and made all the decorations.
Old Wives Tale board. Pointed to boy!
Adorable onesie Nolen hand made!
Everyone picked a side and wore either a pink or blue clothespin to show their pick.
Ken and I were team boy, even though my gut told me it was a girl.
Clearly, Anthony and Missy were team boy.
I don't know if Ken's grandpa was hoping for twins or just couldn't decide.
We all had some yummy cupcakes and played a couple games. We had everyone put baby name suggestions in a jar and Nolen read them outloud.
Soon, it was time to pop the balloon!
We got everyone in the living room and got ready!
Ken's face!! Haha, he wanted a boy so bad.
It's a GIRL!!
Everyone was very excited!
Here's a short video of the balloon popping. I can't seem to get the full length one off my phone.
Everyone is super excited a baby girl is on the way! Ken wanted a boy, and was a little disappointed at first, but he got over it really fast and is so excited to have a daughter on the way. And I know she'll have him wrapped around her finger in no time at all. ;)
