On Monday night we had a "Is it a girl or is it a boy?" party. My parents, my grandparents and Sherry and Jim were there for the revealing of the gender of our baby. My mom helped to throw a great party. She made an adorable diaper cake for the centerpiece at the table and she made brisket and twice baked potatoes for dinner. My only responsibilty was to tell everyone if it was a boy or a girl. So...Aaron and I placed a little sign under the plate of the ladies that said "It's a boy!" After everyone sat down I had the ladies pull out the sign from under their plate. And then they knew...It's a boy! We also had Michelle and Becky on speaker phone this whole time so they could feel like they were there. The evening was really fun and no one had ever been to an "Is it a girl or is it a boy?" party before. It was a bit overwhelming and surreal for Aaron at moments. (Having everyone taking millions of pictures didn't help for Aaron) I think the surreal moment came when he opened a gift from my mom with a little onesie in it. It dawned on him that his son was going to fit in this tiny little piece of clothing. So much to look forward to. We had a great time and are thrilled for what is to come. (I was having trouble putting the pictures in the order I wanted them, so they are in no particular order)

This was Aaron's surreal moment. The onesie says "Lil Slugger" and the cap has baseballs on it. After Aaron opened it up I realized, "Oh there are cute little boy clothes!"
