We decided to do something different to reveal the gender of Baby #2. Since the most common way to surprise guests is by revealing the gender inside the cake (pink or blue), we decided we wanted to do something else. We had all of our guests come outside to watch us reveal the gender by balloon. Whatever color we were left holding would reveal the gender. We each started with a blue and pink balloon (4 balloons total). I went first and released the Pink balloon. So I had one blue balloon left and Preston still had a pink and a blue balloon. Then Preston went next. He let go of his blue balloon.....
At that point, I had a blue balloon and Preston had the Pink one....
...Ooohh the suspense. We stalled for a little while as our guests waited in anticipation....
....Then...I released the Blue Balloon...which means the only balloon left was...PINK!!!
....Here are the three balloons released in the (cloudy& rainy!) Sky. Yes, the weather dampened our plans slightly. But it still was really fun and super exciting to finally reveal the gender to our families.
Parker wanted in on all the fun too.
Woohoo....mommy's got a shopping buddy!!!
Parker was so excited (haha) He celebrated by having a piece of cake after the reveal.
ITS A GIRL!!
