Today we are having your gender reveal party! Some family and friends are coming over to find out about you guys. Little do they know they are in for a HUGE surprise. They think we are only having one... not three! We can't wait to let the cat out of the bag... it has been so hard keeping this to ourselves! I have to consciously think about referring to you guys as only one person... its hard! We are so excited.
We had everyone come over and have dinner at our house. We made sweet pork sandwiches, corn on the cob, and some chips. We had everyone take guesses at what they though "you" were. Heath, your 7-year-old cousin, guessed that we'd have one boy and one girl... so he was the closest out of anyone haha.
We had prepped 3 huge (like 2 feet across) black balloons before everyone came over. We hid 2 of the balloons in a large box that we decorated for our reveal. We left one balloon out in the family room for everyone to see. Dad and I stuffed one balloon with blue feathers and two with pink feathers so that when we popped them, the feathers would fall out.
When we were done eating, we had everyone go to the backyard so we could have our "reveal". The big box was already out there and we posed for pictures with the 1 balloon to make it seem more real. (We took pictures with all 3 balloons before everyone came over so we could have all 3 in one picture)
We popped the first balloon and everyone was excited to see the pink feathers. WE WERE HAVING A GIRL! Then, Jordan said we had a surprise and went to grab another balloon from the box. Everyone got louder and excited, "It's twins?!". We popped the second balloon and they screamed again seeing the pink feathers fall to the ground. ANOTHER GIRL! Skyler (dad's friend) jokingly said, "Okay, wheres the 3rd balloon?" We just laughed... but then, dad pulled out the 3rd balloon and everyone got quiet. "Are you joking?" "What?!" "Are you having triplets?" All I could do was giggle. Yup, we were having 3. They were all feeling what we had been feeling for the last 10 weeks- SHOCK! So we popped the 3rd balloon and down fell the blue feathers, completing our reveal. WE WERE ALSO HAVING A BOY!
As I looked towards our group of friends and family, I saw faces that were shocked, wet with tears, happy, and excited. You guys are already bringing a whole lot of joy to this family. You are so wanted. So loved already. There are many more people who could't make the party that can't wait for your arrival.
We love you already. We keep praying that you'll make it safe.
Love,
Mom and Dad
