Gender Reveal Party

So I thought it would be fun to have a Gender Reveal Party. Some of you might be thinking what is that? Well long gone are the days when everyone waits in hospital waiting room for the big news, so we thought it would be fun to have a party and reveal the gender of our baby with all our family and friends!

Chris and I had our 18 week ultrasound yesterday (Cinco de Mayo) to check the baby's organs and to hopefully found out the baby's gender. The big question was, would the baby cooperate? I spent some time explaining to the baby why it was important to that he or she cooperate and that this was the only time that mommy and daddy would ask you to do somethings so scandalous, as show your private parts to a camera.

Hoping that the baby would cooperate we planned this little party. Everyone was instructed to come dressed in PINK or BLUE in order to cast their vote for a baby boy or girl. Then we would reveal the gender of baby Ferraro and serve some yummy cupcakes with a special surprise (blue or pink frosting filling the inside of the cupcake)!

The turnout was great! 

And just about everyone showed up in pink or blue.

At 7pm we had everyone from TEAM BLUE take a group picture.

 Then it was time for Team PINK

 Now everyone was ready to hear the exciting news!

Chris and I held both of the signs (Team Pink and Team Blue) and on the count of three we dropped a sign and we were left holding...........

That is right we're having A BABY GIRL!!

Here is a video of everyone's initial reaction,
watch it and you'll see some shocked and excited reactions.

So here is the evidence. (but lets not ever tell her that I showed you these)

 Her little bottie in the left corner and well you know what you're looking at.

Enough said! 

And just so we're clear I spent an extra 10 minutes drilling the ultrasound technician to make sure he wasn't wrong. So he took a few more convincing shots for me!

And some more great news is that all her organs look good.
Keep up the good work baby!
