...GIRL!!!!!!
So two weeks ago I went home for thanksgiving on Tuesday. Before I left Mobile I had bought everything blue and pink for the gender reveal party (secretly hoping that I would be able to return all things blue). On Wednesday morning they had their appointment to find out the gender so Hillary took an envelope and had them place the ultrasound inside and seal it up. She then (without ever taking a peep inside) brought it over to me. To say that this was an honor is a huge understatement. I was so excited to be in on this huge secret for the day!
I was 110% sure that when I opened this envelope it was going to say "boy". SOOO glad I was wrong!! I wish someone could have videoed my reaction.. running around the yard jumping up and down like a crazy person any normal excited aunt would do. Inside the envelope was a piece of paper that said "It's a girl!" (with a heart), the ultrasound, and a CD. So sweet!
So, off I go into the back yard to fill the ball with pink powder and decorate it like a baseball. During this process my hands are still shaking from excitement so I spill some of the pink powder on the ground and end up just sprinkling some blue also to cover my tracks. Hillary told me later that when they did the trial run, they did it over the sink and just washed it down... but at that moment, I guess I wasn't really thinking straight and just thought the yard was most appropriate LOL.
This day went by soooo slow... I was so excited for Hillary and Tyler to find out! I literally saw my sister like 4 times that day, my mom once, and this was my text conversation with Tyler...
I knew I couldn't see him before, or I probably would have spilled the beans. I do take pride in the poker face that I wore most of the day, though ;)
Okay, so then it was off to Andalusia to decorate and get the food ready for that night.
(P.S. The following pictures were taken by Amy Nichols and Jessica)
This was set up on a table right outside the gate at the baseball field
(I had already pre-planned that I was going to choose a bow no matter what because we needed to take a picture for the Christmas card)
Right before the big reveal! I knew they were going to be SO EXCITED!! ;)
PINK!!PINK!!PINK!!
So excited that I am going to be "Aunt Hay" to a sweet baby girl!!!
Allyson Grace Dent is already so loved and I can't wait to meet her in April!! ;)
