Ok here is an insane amount of photos from our photographer/babysitter/starbucks drink maker Savannah Hayes. She is moving to Santa Cruz next month (sad...) so her services in the area will be limited. She has been wonderful for our family to have for Owen care and memory preserving.

Zero-waste drinks (pepsi crate has canning jars with chalkboard paint on them for parties to reuse). Glass containers used for most drinks.

My sissies both wore ties
Lotsa tutus to choose from
The sweet Aubin 5
The ominous envelope hanging on the deck
Yup. My dad in a tutu drinking a beer. AWESOME!
We were voting tutu all the way!
From my previous post I mentioned cooking as soon as the oven was plugged in.. around 12... dinner at 5... Made barefoot contessa foolproof barbecue sauce and ribs, barefoot contessa angelhair with basil and tomatoes, and cupcakes. Everything turned out well and I'm glad I baked some old food first to get the new oven smell out of the house and food.
Bow- tie cupcakes
Owen voted tutu as well!
What a great evening
Court did a really cute game involving old wives tales and pregnancy. The old wives tally and random questions and tests pointed to tutu as well!
The different old wives tales from my intuition to Chris gaining weight were discussed. (he hasn't gained weight since he was 15 btw!)
Moment of truth!
Getting so excited
Anticipation
Envelope within an envelope
We can see the results
Wahoo!
GIRL!
STOKED and SHOCKED!
All so excited
So much fun!

What a fun way to ring in another kiddo and show off our kitchen. We are thrilled this baby is healthy and even though I felt strongly it was a girl I am so used to a boy! My nieces have been my girls so now I get one of my own. I am kind of a tomboy and have been resistant to all the pink, purple, etc. But there are some pretty cute things out there...I saw some red cowgirl boots on tv last night and thought "I must have those." this could be dangerous...
One last shoutout to our genetic counsellor Johanna (whose services we don't need anymore, yay!) for making our gender reveal envelope and experience so wonderful! The sweet "It's a Girl" card is going in a frame soon.
