Blue Or Pink

No gender party happening here, but we are excited to find out the gender of our little Mister or Miss. We're lucky to be having showers in both of my "homes", Nashville and Virginia. Much to the delight of friends and family, we decided to find out the gender of the baby. Originally I was on team "gender surprise", but Ryan was really excited about the idea and said he could imagine the baby better as a boy or girl.

I know (and know of people it's happened to) that the gender can be predicted wrong. Knowing this, we've decided to do a blue and white nursery regardless of the gender and not monogram things. I just love light blue, and think it's such a calming shade for the walls! Check out my nursery board on Pinterest to see where we are with our ideas. Because we decided to share the gender, we'll be keeping the name a secret. We are pretty set on the first & middle names for a boy, and two final first names for a girl. They're very special names to us, and I can't wait to share with our family and friends in January!

And just for fun, I'll add a poll on the top of the blog where you can vote for boy/girl if you're so inclined! I've got my guess and so does Ryan (ps- they're different). We'll all find out the first week in August

We did the same thing... found out/shared the gender but kept the name a secret until after she was born. It drove my mom NUTS. lol But, it was important to me that we keep some things private until we could introduce our little Emily to the world. =)

Congrats!

So excited for you to find out the gender of your baby! And that you are keeping the name a secret... I am terrified that I will have some friend get pregnant the same time as me and steal the name that I want or something!
