The Big Reveal

For everyone that didn't know on May 29 we announced...

Then yesterday we went to the doctor to find out the sex of the baby. We decided to have the tech put the results in an envelope. We then went to Itty Bitty Bella where we picked out a pink and blue outfit. One of the employees took the envelope in the back, read it and wrap the appropriate outfit. Then our families came over for the BIG reveal. 

Here are a few pictures...

We are SOOO excited. Now only if we can pick a name.
