I know you’re all going to skip right past this little blurb and scroll down to the reveal…but I’d just like to say…we are SO excited to share our little baby’s gender with you today. Even though it’s only been 24 hours, we love being able to use pronouns and know a little more of what our family is going to look like. And we’ve felt SO so loved by the way you all have been waiting and texting and getting excited to know if it’s a boy or girl!

We started with some before pictures :]

You guys voted and it was almost dead even for girl vs boy!

Time for the confetti cannons!

Kelsey got to find out first :]

THE BIG REVEAL!

IT’S A BOY!

And we got to celebrate with a lot of our favorite people! It was really fun to have them there to share in our joy.

So now you know :] It’s a boy and we’re SO excited! We’ve been feeling like it was a boy for quite awhile now, so we weren’t surprised at all! But it was still such a fun experience. We’re feeling so blessed that our little boy is healthy and that we got to spend awhile seeing him kick around on the ultrasound.

It’s really already made such a difference to call him “he” and just to know that our little family is getting a boy first! I’m already excited to see how David is going to bond with him, he’s going to be such a good father to a little boy 🙂 And YES, we are pretty much settled on a name, but I’m not going to announce it here yet…just in case that 1% wins out :] But most people already know what choice we’re leaning towards.

As you might be able to tell, I’m officially rocking the baby bump. It’s small, but it’s real enough that I’m not okay with real pants. (not that I normally am)

I loved our gender reveal experience! The wind was INSANE so the confetti didn’t go quite as planned, but it’s okay :] We did a couple redos! Thanks to our friends picking up confetti from the ground! If anyone out there is thinking of doing something like this, let me know, I’ve got lots of pointers to share with you :]

Ultimately we’re just SO happy to know and happy to let you guys in on the secret!

Special thanks to my friend Ashley Powell for coming out and taking photos for us!
