It's a ....... {Gender Reveal}

 So Saturday was the big awaited day! We were not the only ones totally on pins and needles anticipating the gender reveal of our little one..... Sean's parents , sister, and cousin Heather came down from San Diego to go to the appointment with us. There is only one word to describe how it was.....amazing. It was the first time we have "seen" the baby since the very first ultrasound when it was only 8 weeks along, and just a little "gummy bear", with no details on the ultra sound pictures. This time it was a whole new experience, and there was not a dry eye in the house. I will share those pictures in a sec.... but first! The gender reveal party.....

Today we went to San Diego to share the big news with the rest of family. So I thought I would share those pictures with you first so you can be surprised along with them.

First was the "team picture" where everyone held up signs for what team they thought the baby was. And for the family that was there at the reveal, they stuck with their original guesses! (Team girl in the lead!)

And now for a few pictures of OUR big reveal on Saturday at the ultra sound.

 


The place we went to was so cute! I had my own little tv over with the ultra sound tech, and the family got cozy on the couch with a big plasma TV infront of them - watching everything I was. 


 
 Like I said, not a dry eye in the house.

We went out to lunch after we found out and of course I had to share the news with our waiter, and he brought us a baby sized treat to celebrate ;)

So I just have to say that we are so in love with OUR SON!!! He is just perfect.
I am just about 1/2 way done with my pregnancy, and all his little movements on the ultra sound were more than enough to leave me breathless and in tears (and I was not the only one lol). 
Theres really not a whole lot more I can say about it other than I am in awe of how amazing he is, and how I just have this perfect little guy in my belly growing, stretching, covering his face, kicking, and being awesome in general. 

Oh! and as I promised.... We are going to call this adorable little guy : Jordan Rockett Van Bussel <3 

Thanks to all of our friends and family for all of the love and support, the 3 of us love you so so much!!!

  1. Hi Blair! So happy for you! I personally thought it was a boy -- every friend I've known that's been pregnant with a boy had a breeze of a pregnancy (and you seem to be having a smooth pregnancy too)... and you look just beautiful... you're growing your hair out, yes? It looks so pretty long! Big congrats to you & your hubs! And if I don't seem to run into you before then... see you at WPPI! xoxo
