We have some big news here at the Ellison household. We are growing from a family of 3 to a family of 4.

We wanted to make a fun experience of the reveal of the babies sex, so we had our ultrasound yesterday, and had the ultrasound tech put the sex of the baby into an envelope. I rushed said envelope to my good friend Barbie’s house. Barbie is an amazing photographer as well, and we had gotten this fun idea when we were driving back from a wedding in Idaho a couple months back to reveal the babies sex via colored balloons out of a big box. So, since we both thought it was a fun idea, she was game to be the first person to find out and fill our box with either blue or pink balloons.

She found out 24 hours before our little reveal shoot, and I think it was just as hard for her to keep the secret for that entire time. I know I was dying not knowing!
She came over this morning with this amazing box and we had a little fun.

Check out the photos to see if we are having a boy or girl, and what our two year old Lincoln thinks of it!

and this photo is here just because it’s entertaining…. and very much the reality of having a two year old boy. Gross gross gross.

It will be a different experience having a baby girl. I would imagine a baby girl will not think that licking is nearly as fun as Linc thinks licking is lol. Gross gross gross.
