Baby Shower / Gender Reveal Update

[fashionx]

This is a little late now but I've been out of town traveling the last 2 weeks before and right after my baby shower on the 16th, so I haven't had time to come post or update.

We kept our baby's sex a secret from the 20 week u/s and told everyone we were team green, so they wouldn't bug us about not revealing, but really we did find out and wanted to have a surprise reveal at our baby shower so we could tell both our moms together in person. So up until a week before, not even my best friends knew -- and only the 2 putting on the shower got to find out beforehand because of getting the cake ordered -- which I designed.

The shower was so cute and fun -- we are doing a baby animal and Babar the elephant theme in our nursery, so my friends put together the cutest decorations to go along with it. I didn't see anything until that day and was so in love!

And now for the big reveal...



We're having a girl!!!

Adorable! Congratulations! Your shower looked fantastic! You look fantastic!

And way to go keeping it a secret that long. I wish that I could say that people have left us alone about the gender, but we really are team green and MIL, somehow, doesn't believe we don't know. LOL. She is trying to make us slip up and tell her.

LOL at your MIL, I thought for sure my MIL would be like that too.. after the anatomy u/s, which I'm pretty sure she didn't even know the date/time, she was already calling asking if we knew the sex and was so disappointed when I told her we were going to wait to find out. My mom actually asked at the shower (early on before the reveal was known) if we knew and weren't telling. And all I could say was, it's a surprise.

Good for you for waiting though - I was on the fence about being team green or not, but DH really wanted to know so we found out. I have a couple friends who did wait (for real) like you and loved it.

Congrats! Looks like a lovely shower and that's a great surprise (and awesome looking cake!)

My parents also do not believe we don't know the gender. There will be just as much of a surprise for us as for them the day baby shows up.
