Well last Friday was Brittany and Jonathan's big ultrasound to find out the sex of their baby. I really didn't know what it was going to be and I really didn't care either way. Just as long as my niece or nephew was healthy. Their appointment was really early in the morning and then their plan was to drive to Lubbock for a big gender reveal party. I called my brother around 11am to see if he would spill the beans, but he didn't. I thought there was a faint disappointment in his voice which led me to believe it was a girl. My brother desparately wanted a boy and I thought it was too good to be true if he actually would get his wish.
Friday night we headed over to Brittany's folks house. Brandon wore blue and Hannah and I wore pink. There were about 30-40 people there all anxious to find out what this little peanut is.
My brother and sister-in-law are pretty creative and couldn't just come out and tell us what it is; they made us work for it. We divided ourselves into two teams. Those of us who thought it was a girl wore pink and those who thought it was a boy wore blue. There were more blue team members than pink for sure. I think this made my brother happy. Then we played this game where Jonathan and Brittany were asked old wives tales about pregnancy and based on the answer team pink or team blue got a point. It was really fun and super funny to hear some the answers. In the end, team pink won out! So our team captain, Dr. Kelsey O'Meara, got to open the sack to reveal the gender to the crowd.
And it is...
A BOY!!!!
I was in total shock, but so happy. My mom and I along with both of Brittany's parents really thought it was a girl.
My dad, grandmother, Brandon, and both of Britt's siblings thought it was a boy and were right.
I'm so excited to meet this little guy in November and I can't wait to start buying little boy things. Our family is so blessed to have Hannah and to now know little Harlan Frazier Holmes is on his way.
