Our Gender Reveal

Gender Reveal Parties seem to be all the rage these days. Expecting parents throw a party for friends and family and announce their unborn child's gender in some cutesy way. Sometimes, the parents will be surprised right along with the guests by having the ultrasound tech write the gender on a piece of paper and have a friend do something to surprise the couple at the party.

Our gender reveal party was a small affair that took place in the early morning hours of June 18th. In attendance were me and Jordan, a doctor, two nurses, and this little lady.

Georgia Jeanne weighed in at 7 lbs. 4 oz. (my biggest baby, but just by a few ounces) and was 19 1/4 inches long. Such a surprise to have a girl! But not too much, because that's what I've really thought all along (and I love being right!).  We love her! And we're so glad she is here safe and healthy!

Now, if I could just get people to stop saying "you finally got a girl!" I know lots of families with lots of boys in a row and I hardly think that three boys in a row justifies a "finally"! Four maybe... Plus, it seems to me that that insinuates that our family would somehow be less wonderful and special if there weren't a daughter involved. Not true! I won't lie though, I'm looking forward to the (hopefully) change of pace that a girl will bring to our family!
