That's right, the cake could have lied, but the ultrasound photos made it all too clear. There's a girl in there and she is going to have a big sister!
On Saturday night, we had our gender reveal party with our families present. It was such an exciting moment to be able to celebrate and find out together. A few people asked me if I was sure I didn't peek beforehand and know... for some weirdly, odd reason, I can keep a secret (even from myself apparently) and I like surprises enough to wait. So until that cake was cut, I was just as surprised!!!
I was team boy, Joe was team girl. Just to clarify, I was not solely "hoping" for a boy, I just assumed I would have one of each and was trying to accept that reality, too. :)
Some highlights:
-Most people were "team boy"
-David, Joe's brother, wanted us to have a boy to "feel his pain" of having a boy
-Brenna sat at the table almost the whole night eating pink and blue M&M's (where's that child's mother??!)
-My grandma tried to convince my husband most of the night to have a third.. Let's see how two is first grandma =)
A sister!!! A SISTER! A sister?! Brenna doesn't even know yet how incredibly blessed she is to have a sister!!! I always wished for and wanted a sister. To this day I find myself making an unintentional mental list of the "If-I-had-a-sister-right-now, I would.." I am seriously BLOWN AWAY at how amazing God truly is. He really does care about us so intricately that He restores and fulfills places in our lives that were hurt, broken or missing. This is one of those miracle moments! I just am filled with praise and joy and thank God for another baby girl. To watch sisterhood bloom and grow is going to melt my heart and fulfill something in my soul.
