and baby #2 is a...

** i fixed the link. video should actually work now!


ashton & i had gone in for the anatomical ultrasound appointment on friday. the tech was super. i closed my eyes while ashton saw the gender of our baby. but i saw everything else. baby moved a lot. kept hands over its face. everything was there. it was magical. & so comforting.


so we decided that to celebrate the end of 2016 & this baby, we needed to invite our families over for treats & a gender reveal!!!!


before the party, we started with chinese food - a tradition i think that my little family has created & i am totally happy with that.


we played games, we watched the jazz win, & then it was time for the big news! ashton took over in the planning of how it was going to happen because, well, he was the only one who knew. he took rooney into our room & had two outfits for her - one that was pink & one blue. right before he was going to open the door ---


the power went out.


not a joke. it was the perfect timing.


so we got our phones out & turned the lights on. here's video of it happening!


SURPRISE!

baby...

is...

a...



BOY!!!!

after we saw rooney's outfit, we gathered all the candles & had celebrated for 10ish minutes in semi darkness.


 the lights came back on as this picture was being taken.


we are so excited. i can't stop smiling when i think about it. or whenever i feel him fluttering around. rooney was mostly excited to lick all the frosting off her cupcake, but she is quick to give baby kisses & is so ready to be a smothering big sister.
