For those who didn’t catch Ann’s facebook update, Reese baby #3 is a boy. We are obviously excited to know and look forward to adding some blue to this house full of pink.
The day we found out was especially fun because we got to share the moment with a group of our friends. We decided to have a gender-reveal party and invited our team members and our friends Nong and Lek, along with their two boys. Rick, Amy, Eva, and Ella were visiting at that time, which made it even more special. Ann, Amy and I went to the doctor’s appointment while everyone else set up for the party. They put blue and pink decorations up and made cupcakes of both colors. Chris cooked a brisket in the brick oven while others prepared salads, mashed potatoes and other sides. (It was seriously the best meal I’ve had since being in Phayao.) Everyone who came also had to wear a blue or pink shirt to indicate which gender they thought the baby was. It was overwhelmingly dominated by blue shirts. Amy had also wrapped two presents, a pink onesie and a blue one.
At the hospital, Ann and Amy closed their eyes during the critical moment of the ultrasound. The doctor showed me the “information” I needed to know and then finished the ultrasound without letting Ann or Amy know the gender. Once back at our house, I tried to hold on to the power as long as possible, but Ann was dying to know. So, I picked out the present with the correct color and then let the fun begin. You can watch Ann’s reaction below.
It was a great night of fun and celebration. Now we just need to pick a name. Any suggestions?
