Gender Reveal!

I was hoping to write an eventful post after my 20 week ultrasound in addition to revealing the gender of our baby but turns out ultrasounds are pretty uneventful to write about.  I mean, being there is amazing and watching the baby inside you move while seeing the little heart beating!  But to a blogging audience...what more can I say?  

I did want to do something creative for our gender reveal!  So back to the Mall of America we went.  The same place I announced the pregnancy to Jesus in a photo booth.  You can see the reaction photos here. But this time, no photo booth.  Our lovely friend Emily so graciously took some photos for us around the mall.  My inspiration for our shoot was this handsome couple.  

Notice I used the word "inspiration" and not a word like "replica," you'll see.  While our cotton candy looks nothing like theirs...it was still fun stealing their inspiration.

So...it's a girl!  Joaquin is getting a baby sister.  Before the ultrasound, every time I asked him if he wanted a baby brother or baby sister, he always said "baby sister!"  Maybe it's because Daniel Tiger and Arthur have baby sisters or maybe he likes saying that word more than brother.  Who knows?  But we are all very happy!  Now I need to buy baby girl clothes!  I've always noticed the girls clothing sections being bigger than the boys so I have a whole new world to explore.  I can't even wait to see how much Joaquin is going to love this little baby!

PS for those that like my makeup posts...how can I forget my pink makeup to celebrate the day?!
