Baby H is a GIRL!

We were so thrilled to find out that we're having a sweet baby girl on Saturday. Originally, Stephen and I were going to find out the gender together then do a reveal for our families and close friends but a few weeks before, we decided to be surprised too! Thankfully, with only 2 days to wait, it was manageable ;)






We had everyone cast their gender vote and grab a sticker

We decided to do the confetti cannon/poppers after seeing how much fun it was for a few friends - and it was nice because there was NO way we could've found out or accidentally seen the color before the reveal. I had a close co-worker take the call and situate the poppers for us so everyone at the reveal was surprised too.

Thankfully, my mom stayed with us for the week so she was able to be a part of the reveal (and a huge help with everything), Stephen's whole family was able to attend and our close friends also came! It was so much fun to share the excitement with them and it could not have been more perfect :)

We facetimed my sister and her bf in - she thought boy and he thought girl

Complete surprise


Stephen was pumped

One thing we didn't think through on the confetti was the breeze.... it took all the confetti right over the roof and into the front yard. Poor Stephen spent all day Sunday cleaning the yard and roof off - definitely better to do inside.


Realizing it all went over the roof


We were really hoping for a girl (we would've loved a boy too) but we honestly had no clue what it would be and assumed since we wanted a girl so bad, it would be a boy lol We were both thrilled (you can't tell at all from Stephen's reaction - see the video at the end ;)) and I feel like I'm still processing the fact that we actually know the gender and that it is a girl!

After the reveal, we grilled burgers and hung out the rest of the night. It was the perfect way to find out what we will be having :)
