Waddle it be? Take a quack at it

As many of you already know, we will be welcoming a longed for, prayed for, sweet baby girl in just a few short months! We are so excited to share with you a peak into our gender reveal party that we hosted with close family and friends. What intended to be simple and low key, ended up being an explosion of all things pink, blue and ducklings! Thank you mom for helping me plan a fun and memorable "Waddle It Be?" themed gender reveal! And, a big thank you to the wonderful Laurie, for acting as event photographer. I really appreciate it!

Guests wore blue or pink depending on if they thought it was a boy or a girl. There was a $25 gift card drawing for those who brought a pack of diapers. There was laughter, a little bit of tears and yummy homemade chocolate cupcakes with peanut butter icing.{thanks, Erin!} I'm so glad we celebrated the reveal all together with our loved ones, even though initially I thought the idea of a gender reveal was a bit cheesy and a tad over dramatic. It's about creating memories and having fun, am I right?

Get ready for lots of pictures and cuteness overload. ;)

I had to include our "doodle baby", Jake. He joined in on the festivities at the end when most guests had bid their farewells, because, lezbehonest, he's a maniac. Aww, just look how proud he is? I'm sure he'll accept baby girl as the alpha jr in no time at all. ;)

And because many of you may be wondering what we will be naming our little girl, I thought I might as well make it official.

...drum roll please...

Sydney Hope Olsen. Cue clapping and awing and squeals. We are just so in love with the name, and we hope {see what I did there?} you like it, too. Not that we really care. ;)

I still have to pinch myself. Are we really having a baby??? What. Is. Happening.
