Baby Adams Gender Reveal!

March 20, 2018 ~ So I have been sworn to secrecy for the last 4-6 weeks but I have known my little sister, Ashley and brother-in-law, Greg were expecting another baby! This was a surprise for them as they had recently decided that one little boy, Jaxon was plenty and they were content with just having one child until she took a pregnancy test one morning!

They kept this information from Jaxon and the rest of the family until they saw the doctor to make sure everything was OK.

 A little over a month ago we made a decision to start having weekly family meals. We would rotate between our houses and each person that was hosting that week would cook a meal. We all agreed that family is important but we all get busy and never seem to connect so this would allow us all to catch up and enjoy a good home cooked meal together! 

Ashley and Greg were ready to tell our immediate family they were pregnant when they were around 6 weeks however their doctor told them to wait until they were at 8 weeks just to make sure nothing changed. They agreed and they would not say anything. 

On February 19th after their doctor's appointment it was time to tell Jaxon. He was happy as he wanted a little brother or little sister. Then later that night it would be time for our family dinner and the perfect time to tell Granny and Papa.... 
Jaxon would wear this shirt and spill the beans about his big news! 

Everyone was shocked and surprised but very excited! 

Ashley and Greg decided to have the DNA blood test done to make sure the baby was healthy and to find out the sex earlier than normal. 

The test came back and they would be welcoming a healthy baby in September 2018 but the sex of the baby would be sealed in an envelope.

 I decorated the following big box and we took to the party store and had them put the appropriate color balloons inside based on what was sealed in the envelope!


The following is the video of the Baby Adams Gender Reveal..... 

Greg and Jaxon really wanted a little boy....
Ashley really wanted a little girl.....

Jaxon's face is so sweet when he learns what they are having but Ashley's face is priceless!


It's a Boy! 
Yes, Ashley was a little upset that it wasn't a girl... I mean this was her chance to have a mini-me and with all the things that were different with this pregnancy (this baby doesn't like sweets, lots of nausea with this one, etc) she was hopeful it was a girl.  

After the first initial reaction and after seeing the blue balloons as they popped up,  we are all very  happy and can't wait to meet this little boy!  
In all fairness, Greg and Ashley do make handsome little boys!
