Gender Reveal Party... and the day after

Rachel loves any excuse to throw a party!  And they're fun!  So she threw a Gender-Reveal Party, to find out the gender of her baby.  Mom, dad and I came up for the party.  There were lots of games.

One game had lots of diapers with melted candy bars in them.  We had to smell them and guess which candy bar it was.
Take a whiff of that.  So good I could eat it!

We guessed how many candies were in the jar.


Ultrasound pics


We each had a picture of a baby object on our backs and we had to each other questions to guess what it was.  


Boy and Girl!?


There was a jar to put name suggestions in.  I suggested the name Carly, and they are actually considering it!

We read a bunch of old wife's tales and determined what she is having based on those.  


The day before the party, Rachel went to the doctor's office and got an ultrasound showing the gender of her baby.  She told the doctor not to tell her what it was, write it on the picture, and put it in an envelope so she couldn't peek.  Mom made an angel food cake, cut it in half, and hallowed out the middle.  A friend of Rachel's got the opportunity to look at the picture first and fill in the middle of the cake.  It was to be filled with strawberries and whipped cream.  If it was a girl, the whipped cream would be dyed pink, and blue for boy.  So when Rachel and Perry cut the cake, the color of the whipped cream would tell them the gender of the baby.  A very fun idea!

Preparing for the big moment!


IT'S A GIRL!!!


So happy about it!









Here is a video showing the big moment.





Couldn't get this picture to post flipped the right direction, but I love Grant's expression.
