Baseballs or Bows?

We had our gender ultrasound at Baby Bliss in Lafayette on Saturday and decided to have family over on Sunday to announce to them if it is a boy or girl! First of all, Megan, at Baby Bliss is AMAZING. I recommend going to her, even if its just to get a random ultrasound and not necessarily a gender one. She even does 3D ones which are really cool! I am totally going to her for all my pregnancies to find out the gender now. Worth every cent!

While trying to think of a theme for our party, I first wanted to think of something a little different to announce it. Most people do cake or balloons, but if you know me I like to be unique. Curt was more than happy to hit a plastic ball which would then explode and a cloud of powder would be in blue or pink, when I ran across the idea on Pinterest. Our theme of course, Baseballs or Bows?!

How cute are these invites?

This is when I'm praying that 1. I throw the ball where he can hit it and 2. he hits the dumb ball.

We did it! The best part? We totally didn't factor in the wind and he was COVERED in blue powder. So if you do this, maybe take that into consideration. Although, it was hilarious for me.

Clark Randall is on his way. Keep growing little boy!

 

The party gave me an excuse to make snacks that I could enjoy as well.

My all time favorite sugar cookie recipe. Took me awhile to find it and perfect it, but its worth the time.

 More Pinterest inspired decorations!

Yeah, our kid didn't follow the old wives tales. I did notice the Chinese calendar was right so I'm gonna take a closer look at that next time!

Everyone enjoyed the weather. We totally could use a pool though (one day).

While baseball was the theme, that didn't mean we all had to play it. It just naturally happened! 

 How cute are my nieces?! 

Seriously adorable.

 and more baseball!

To answer the other question most people ask, no I had no idea whatsoever if it was a boy or girl. Mother's intuition wasn't working yet for me. Maybe next time? 

Now I can FINALLY start doing nursery projects. Clark's nursery is totally going to be superhero themed and its all planned out. Now just painting, cleaning the carpet, assembling a crib, revamping a dresser, shopping for decor, getting a chair, and putting it all together is left. That's not too much right?!
