Gender Reveal Day Part I

As you can imagine, Gender Reveal Day was full of excitement from start to finish. I think it will take several posts to express all the joy.


We decided to have a Gender Reveal Party and find out with Baby D's Gender by cutting into a cake, that was either pink or blue, so our loved ones could be part of the big reveal! The excitement was building all day long as we anticipated the gender and contemplated whether there was....well...something there or a void!

It was so amazing to get to see our sweet little baby's arms and legs moving about. The tech said again you have a VERY ACTIVE baby! She kept putting her little hands against her face and forehead. The most profound thing about our little girls is not so little. She has the LARGEST FEET I have ever seen on an ultrasound (US). I am afraid we might have a 6'4" "little" girl!

We were even lucky enough to have an impromptu 4 D US!!!! The tech was teaching the nurse at our birth center how to use the 4D function. A 4D US is different from a 3D US, in the 3D US they take 3 dimensional still images of the baby. In 4D you get to see the baby in 3 dimensions while in motion. It was so cool to see little girl's face, although it was really distorted and covered by her umbilical cord! Girlfriend was snuggling up with the placenta. The placenta, by the way was reaaaaaaally cool to see in 4D! I will post the video we took of the 4D US as soon as I can figure out how to edit it!

After our appointment, Dylan and I went to lunch and studied our US pictures discussing the hints we got about the gender.

For now here is the Post-ultrasound reaction.

(For the record I don't know why I did this while driving....I was so excited after the US and I just didn't think!)

IT'S A ______!!!

It was so fun to find out the gender at our Gender Reveal Party surounded by our loved ones!!!!

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you can't tell by our faces we are SHOCKED! I never thought I would have a girl and Dylan REAAAAAAAAAALlly didn't think we were having a girl. I am over the moon for our sweet little girl. What a precious gift from God.

Gender Reveal Day

Today is the day we find out if we will be buying blue or pink....footballs or tutus.....jerseys or dresses....

I will post the details tomorrow!





Just because I like reading posts with pictures...and I can't stop thinking about how thankful I am for Dylan and what a wonderful Dad he is going to be to our little Dylan or little Katherine...

Happy Cinco De Mayo or Gender Reeveal Day!
