{Gender Reveal September 2016}
I love surprises, and my husband loathes them. I waited until Sayla’s birth to know her gender, and I could do it again with this baby! Whereas, Patrick would pay hundreds of dollars to find out gender at 10 weeks with genetic testing. We decided to compromise and both be surprised at a gender reveal party at 17 weeks gestation. My best friend Alana, offered to throw us this shindig, and it was seriously the best party anyone has ever given me. We had the gender scan 9 days before scheduled party. The results were made available for front desk pick-up by Alana, ONLY, and required ID verification. She guarded this secret with her life, and says it was the hardest secret she has ever had to keep, BUT was totally worth it when she saw our reaction. We had the reveal at our home, and invited close friends and family.
