We went back to see Dr. B (the specialist) at 18 weeks. She checked every inch of Baby Hardy for an hour on ultrasound. The majority of the time was spent analyzing the heart and spine. Thank goodness, everything looked incredibly healthy! We also found out our big news at this appointment. Well, actually we found out, but didn't find out...if that makes any since. Before, she began the ultrasound we told her that we were planning a gender party, so she wouldn't tell us the news, but rather put it in a sealed envelope. We watched our baby on the screen for an entire hour and neither of us could tell you one way or the other, but the ultrasound lady said she knew & took pics of the goods within the first 10 minutes!!! She handed us the envelope and we were off...that was one challenging car ride back to work with that envelope sitting between us!
We passed the envelope on to the cake lady & then had to wait for 5 long days to finally find out the news. We wanted to find out girl or boy with our families & close friends so we thought a party would be a perfect way to find out! Also, a perfect way to celebrate our Miracle!
The cake lady opened the envelope and baked a cake with either pink or blue on the inside, so we wouldn't know the news until we cut in to it! On February 4th at 6:00 our house was all decorated, everyone was here, and it was time! Here are some pics leading up to the big reveal:
"I just can't decide if I should guess little brother or little sister?"
"The Cake" & "Decorations"!
"Team Pink"
"Team Blue"
Drum Roll!!!
The Moment We Knew:
"It's a GIRL"!
We are so excited to announce that we have a beautiful Little Lady on the way!
We are so in Love with this little girl:
* A special thanks to all of our family and friends for making the big reveal party a huge success! We had so much fun sharing the moment we found out with all of you! We love you!
