The big reveal at the dance studio

The kids at the dance studio were all very, very excited to find out whether I was having a boy or a girl, so I did a reveal party for them. I had everyone in my classes (plus parents whom I am close with) choose a side by picking blue or pink beads. I won't put all of those pics up, because there are a dozen or so. But here are picks from the party.

After the people who were there chose sides, I gave them all silly string with the caps removed (so they didn't know the color). Here are the results:

 

 

Team Pink

Team Blue

 

Ready, set....

Back from my trips and half-baked

I have been MIA for a while, due to travel (and my busy schedule leading up to my two trips). I plan to get caught up on check-ins, talking about Aruba and Ocean City, etc. But for now, here's my 19w4d bump pic, taken on the boardwalk in Ocean City, MD:
