Ending Beginnings: Baby B's Gender Reveal

When Brad and I had our First Trimester Screening towards the end of July, we never expected that we would be able to find out the gender of our baby at 13 weeks! But, thanks to 4D ultrasounds and lots of good technology, our ultrasound technician was able to seal up our baby's gender in a special envelope so that we could celebrate finding out the gender with our families.

We didn't want to do anything over the top because let's face it, babies are already expensive and honestly, so are gender reveals. Originally when we started talking about having children, I wanted to go for a huge "Baseball or Bows" theme but quickly realized spending that kind of money wasn't something we wanted to do.

Instead, Brad had a coworker/friend take our envelope to Publix where they baked us a beautiful cake and we had our family and friends over for snacks and a cake cutting. I couldn't imagine having anything other than a baby girl, so I was so excited to see that my momma's intuition was right! Photo overload below.

In the case of Baby Blalock, the Old Wives tales were definitely true when they predicted a little girl!

My grandad, Pawpaw Frank, was married to my late grandmother Sharon who passed away from colon cancer last summer. We are so thrilled to be having a baby girl and that he got to be there with us when we found out since we plan to give our baby girl the same middle name as her great grandmother.
