Monday afternoon, Brad and I found out what our little bug is...We had a Gender Reveal party that night at my in laws so we couldn't tell anyone!
Tonka trucks and TuTus was the theme....so sweet.
And of course an owl touch...if anyone knows me, they know there will be owls.
This was the voting table where people also wrote their name suggestions...it got interesting.

Boy 15 - Girl 10
My good friend, Lisa, made a whole table called "Kaitlin's Cravings". It was so cute. She did such a great job!! One day I will be crafty too. There was also bbq, bakes beans, and potato salad served in true Southern fashion.
straws for the punch...
The yummy cupcakes filled with pink or blue!
Our parents did the honor of taking the first bite! Oh yea, and everyone wore their vote- pink or blue. (my mama on the left, dad behind, B's mom in front)
B's dad below...convinced that it is a boy.
And...he was right!!!!
Happy future parents!!
End note: Brad thought from the beginning it was a girl. I couldn't really decide either way. On Sunday I woke up knowing it was a boy. I just knew it. I told everyone. I freaked out (what am I going to do with a boy?!?) I'm such a girl's girl. I love women. Not in a weird way, but I love the tradition of women -(read The RedTent). I've always had tons of guy friends, but I love to surround myself with strong women and great conversation.
All of that to say, I was scared to have a boy and I knew I was having one. But let me tell you something, when Rachel, the ultrasound tech, said "Mama's right! It's a boy" I cried tears of JOY! And all of my worry rushed away. I could not be happier. What is better than a big brother? I always wanted one!
They say boys love their mamas too... ;)

I am so excited to have a sweet, precious nephew! Joey and I could not be happier :)...and Joey said you look absolutely BEAUTIFUL in the pic of you and Brad (of course you know I agree!)!! I hate I could not be there, but do not worry because I will not be missing ANYTHING ELSE! I love you my sweet sister, Katy Kate!
Kaitlin, I had the exact same thing happen to me. And I promise you- your instinct is SO right. I sometimes wonder now how I ever even thought I wanted a little girl. Little boys really do looooove their mommy! I always wanted a big brother too! Congratulations. Little boys are the sweetest thing in the world. I know Brad is over the moon too!
Ugh! That is so exciting. And being the super emotional mom that I am, I of course cried when I read this. Its so exciting and you are going to love being a mommy! Your gender reveal party was so stinking cute. Congrats on your sweet baby boy!
I started crying reading this part of your blog. I am so happy for you and can't believe it!! I love you so much. I feel like I was there.
Gorgeous picture of you and your mom! And what a cute party! Oh my gosh I'll never be that creative...ha! Congratulations again! And you can still be a "girl's girl"...you get to put in your two-cents on every girlfriend...ha!
I had a boy feeling all along for you! Not that my "feeling" matters! :) I am so happy for you guys!! In our family of strong women it is nice to have a few boys added now. He will have at least 2 older boy cousins to learn bad habits from And the party is such a cute idea! Love you!

I feel the same way about our future children. I am such a girly girl and it makes me nervous to think about having a boy, but I KNOW I will have one if not all boys just for that very reason haha!

Oh my gosh, how exciting!! Boys are seriously SO much fun. And they definitely do love their mommas.
