We had planned a gender reveal party for the following day, so we asked the technician to keep that part a secret. She had us look away at one point while she zoomed in on that "region" but we were able to watch everything else. They checked everything from the brain, to the kidneys, to the lips, and the blood flow. She said that everything looked great, so we were relieved!
So for the next day, I walked around with the two ultrasound pictures that told us if our bean had developed into a little girl or boy. I thought waiting would surely kill me!! Cindy came to pick up all the wrapping paper, the baby outfits, and the ultrasound pictures on Saturday morning! I'm not sure who was more nervous between her, my mom, and myself!
At the party, we thought it would be fun to make a little keepsake to remember the night. I saw a couple of ideas online and we put our own little twist on it. We had everyone put a pink or blue thumbprint on a canvas depending on what they thought it was. Justin used those thumbprints to make a bunch of balloons and a bassinet. It turned out great!
After supper, we finally got around to opening the gift! I knew that it would be a fun little party and a great thing to share with our family, but it was so much more! The room went CRAZY when we finally made it down to the little pink dress that was wrapped up inside. (There is a video on Facebook). Justin and I had always said we didn't have a preference--and that is still true! We would have been happy either way! But it looks like Baby GIRL Hill is coming in June!
My mom and I have already started looking at all the precious little outfits we can put her in! We are thrilled that our little girl is healthy and growing everyday!
