Keeping Up With a Dallas Mom........: It's a......

So, today is Father's Day and I thought it would be the PERFECT day to reveal the gender of Baby R, finally. I can't wait for Jason to be a Dad to our sweet little Baby. He is going to make an amazing Father. Happy unofficial, official 1st Father's Day to Jason!!!!

Anyways, Jason insisted on a gender reveal party and since he doesn't ask for much, ever, I thought I would go ahead and indulge him. He called me SO excited one day with this idea of a gender reveal party and how he wanted to do it. I actually asked him who the heck he was, because to know Jason is to know the man NEVER gets excited about ANYTHING, EVER except if it involves making money. So, he got mad at me and hung up on me. I thought it was SO funny, because most guys just really don't even want to do this gender reveal party stuff that is all the rage these days. So, I called him back and said, ok, I am sorry for making fun of you and you can have this silly party if it really means that much to you. So, I wanted to come up with a way to make it appeal to men, so I called my Sister and told her what Jason wanted to do. She laughed too, BUT plans were underway for a Manly kind of gender reveal baby shower, if there is even such a thing.

I decided I wanted to have professional pictures of the Gender Reveal Baby Shower to have lasting memories of the special day that all our friends and family came to celebrate Baby R and the special moment with us. We loved celebrating Baby R with so many loving people that took time out of their crazy hectic lives to share in our moment.

The chosen day of the celebration was May 3, 2014. My Sister and Brother in Law opened up their home to all our friends and family for the special day. My Sister even gave up her birthday weekend for us and I am so very grateful for her to give up her weekend to share it with us. She has been the most supportive person during this process and there are a lot of days I don't know what I would do without her!
