Drew and Theresa's Happenings: August 2014

Well the day has come!! We are halfway there (cause we are seriously praying that this little one arrives on or before their due date, so that Dad will not be back in classes at the time of the birth.) I know due dates are an estimation, but heck this little one is hearing from us everyday that we want a little December baby! And, well apparently this worked for my mom, haha.

So........we are at 20 weeks and we finally know if Baby S is going to be a little Miss or Mr.!! There was much excitement and anticipation that surrounded this news. I had always known that I would want to find out. I understand that there are different opinions out there about this and each to their own, but there is no way we were going to wait 20+ more weeks to find out if this little critter was gonna get our boy name or girl name. (Oh, P.S. we are leaving the name a secret between the two of us, and we will announce that after the little one makes its appearance into the world. Gotta have something left to announce ;)

We decided to have a party to share the news, and so we jumped on the bandwagon and

planned a Gender Reveal Party.

There are so many cute ideas on Pinterest for how to share the news, but we loved the one of popping balloons that had confetti in them. I must confess that we knew the news before the rest of the party goers. We debated about wanting to have the ultrasound tech tell us or have her write it down, but we decided that it would be fun to have her tell us. The little critter was shy at first and stayed in a little ball while the ultrasound tech took some measurements. After some coercing the little one finally moved and we got a clear shot of between the legs, haha.

And, well here is the news....it's a ???????

Miss!!!!!!
