Gender Reveal Photos

I picked up our finished photo CD today. All of my research and stolen Pinterest ideas didn't exactly turn out how I had envisioned, but I am still very glad that we took these and I will have the excitement and memories to remember through the photos. 

Side note: I would definitely recommend Photoshop Elements 12 to anyone who likes to edit pictures. The photographer sent me the handprint photos in full color and I was able to change them to black and white, with the paint color emphasized. Thank you YouTube!

Baby #2: It's a.........

We have been very busy lately with several big things happening, and sadly, I haven't had a chance to create a post about some very important news. Last Wednesday was my 20 week appointment and our anatomy scan for baby #2. 

Since we can't wait until birth to find out the gender of our children, I decided the next best thing was to wait until that evening. I researched different creative ideas and when I found one I liked best, we scheduled to have a local photographer snap some pics for us during the big reveal moment. It was such a thrill to leave the doctor's office and hold an envelope that contained the answer! The best part of it all had to be Griffin getting to help and be a part of something so exciting. 

 We only have a few preview pictures so far, but I was able to create an announcement photo out of what she sent. More to come when she gets the finished edited images to me. 

IT'S A BOY!!

We are so excited to see Griffin grow up with a brother. Hopefully, they can be lifelong best friends and share many adventures together. 

Here are the ultrasound images she printed for us:

And for fun here are Griffin's ultrasound pics for comparison (since I wasn't blogging during his pregnancy) -- they are very similar, aren't they?
