Gender Reveal Party

So, today is my 29th birthday. 29. The year that I will refer to as my age for the rest of my life. 🙂 It’s not really about me this year. I don’t want any presents, really. I don’t want to shop for myself. I still want to shop, don’t get me wrong, but I only want to shop for this little baby that’s set to arrive in January! That’s it! This past Thursday evening, my sister-in-law + brother-in-law threw Nic and I a fun Gender Reveal party!

gender-reveal-partyWe both have always known we would want to find out the sex as it definitely helps with the mental and physical preparations of having a baby – especially the first!
gender-reveal-party-ideas-decorThursday afternoon, as soon as we received a little envelope from our doctor, we took it straight to my sister-in-law, who was prepped with both pink and blue treats, party decor, and helium-filled balloons to put in a box for us to open!

gender-reveal-party-ideas-cupcakesWe invited close family to help us discover the surprise together later that evening! Everyone had to pick a “Team” – Pink or Blue. Naturally, I chose Team Pink + Nic chose Team Blue!gender-reveal-party-ideasTeam Pink vs. Team Blue – note how many more Team Pinks there were, y’all! Which p.s. I think it’s funny considering the above tally board… hmm… it seems people changed their mind mid-party for some reason.gender-reveal-party-ideasAnd here goes nothing… but everything… our future… ah I was so nervous/excited at this point:gender-reveal-party-ideasWhen we did finally open the box, I think I was in shock for a bit!

gender-reveal-party-ideasAhhhhhh!!!!!!

I was expecting BOTH pink AND blue balloons to pop out for some reason but low and behold, only PINK showed up for the party! I was obviously ecstatic, as you may be able to see from these photos! I think Nic was in a joyous state of shock and his reaction was so sweet.
gender-reveal-party-ideasA baby GIRL!!!!!! My gut instinct all along has been that it is a girl and it goes back a couple of months ago, when Nic and I went on vacation to Charleston, South Carolina.gender-reveal-party-ideasEvery.single.baby. we saw there was a GIRL! It became so comical towards the end of our trip! Every baby!gender-reveal-party-ideasHowever, along the way, I also had boy feelings and would have been so happy to be having a boy too, of course! Baby boys are so cute!gender-reveal-party-ideasNic is seriously saying in the picture below, “Is this a joke?!” Ha, Ha. gender-reveal-party-ideasEveryone has been asking us up to the point what we wanted; a boy or a girl. We just want a healthy baby!balloons-in-box-gender-reveal-partyIt’s nice not to have to answer that question anymore + also not to have to call the baby an “It” for any longer too!
gender-reveal-partyThank you, Alicia (and Dane!) for all of your hard work for the party! We loved every second of it and will never forget it.

team-pink-gender-reveal-partyTeam Pink! I can’t wait to start buying girly baby clothes, accessories, decor, etc.! Ah! I can’t believe it – we’re having a baby GIRL! 🙂gender-reveal-party-ideas

XOXO 💋 // What's a new year's resolution you're XOXO 💋 // What's a new year's resolution you're excited about this year? The start of the year is a great time to make resolutions, but one that's often overlooked is resolving to start saving for your child's higher education. 💕 Ohio's 529 plans can be used at any higher education institution - from two-year to four-year, from trade to vocational schools. And contributions can start as low as $25! 👏🏻 So even if you don't have a clue what your kiddo wants to do when they graduate high school, saving now for their future will help get them here. Want to learn more? Click the link in my bio for more information ✨ Who here has started saving for their child’s education?
L O V E Baskets 💕 I typically gift these to the L O V E Baskets 💕 I typically gift these to the girls on February 1st OR on Valentine’s Day, depending on what I’ve included & if I want them to enjoy before V Day or not 🤍 These were last year’s baskets if you’re looking for some ideas + inspo! 😘❤️ #lovebaskets #valentinesday
