The verdict is in....

I'm sorry for putting some of you through torture with that last video we did. haha. We love you. I had SO much with this whole gender revealing thing. It was super hard for me to keep it a secret all day long! But, I did it! :)
Here's THE video. 
{ sorry... it got dark fast but we wanted to wait till everyone got there. Also, sorry about the long pause in the video... we were waiting to connect on Facetime with my parents in Texas, but it wasn't working. Anyway... ENJOY!} 


And here SHE is. 
{ The doctor told us she's VERY sure it's a girl. I'm also measuring bigger than I thought I was. It turns out I'm not 16 weeks tomorrow, I'll be 17 weeks in 2 days.}

I think we'll call her:
Madeline

Isn't she lovely?  


My sister and Lance were more than kind to let us do this little gathering/party at their house. 
Ashley went ALL OUT and made the CUTEST decorations for the party!
She did it ALL. She's amazing! 
SO, so cute. 


She made these adorable flags... 
When everyone came over, they picked whatever color the gender they thought the baby was...
about half picked blue and the other half picked pink
Both my mom and Kelly thought it was going to be a BOY. :) 









Here's the cute box Ashley wrapped with the balloons inside....
Everyone was so anxious... and I loved it! 


Here's everyone with their votes. 




Nick and Jason have been BFFs since they were 8 years old. 
McKell and I call them "boyfriends."
Tonight... they were wearing the exact same thing (almost.)
Seriously, they crack me up. 


Boyfriends for life  eternity.


Here's the clan... waiting patiently... 

Nick and I are SO excited. 
The ultra sound today was so unreal! It was so amazing. It was so so neat to watch her move around. Her little ankles were crossed... and she just seemed super relaxed and comfortable. 
I loved watching her move. I loved seeing her little hands and feet. 
We are in LOVE with her. 

We really are so blessed with such wonderful family and friends!
Thank you to those who came! 
{We missed my family in Texas! }

Congrats, congrats! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't just a little jealous that you are having a girl. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE my boys but I really hope I get at least one little girl...someday. Love the name Madeline too. It's actually on our list of girl names. Isn't it amazing to see that baby on the ultrasound and know that you are helping her grow and develop. I just love pregnancy for so many reasons. Hope you are feeling better (that's the part I don't like) and just think, if you haven't already, pretty soon you will feel her move and kick. It is so incredible when that happens. Anyway, this is long, sorry...I'm just so happy for you two :)

@Ellen ~ we were just saying last night that we want to get her all of the Madeline books. She's going to love it I think! haha. :)
