Baby Underwood Gender Reveal

On Friday, February 12th, Brian and Ronda Underwood

flew into town from Colorado to

participate in Gender Reveal Weekend!

I picked them up from the airport and we

drove into downtown Tulsa to meet Eric

at the Federal Courthouse where he is 

currently doing an externship for school.

We got a short tour, which was

very interesting.  Then we headed home

for a delicious brisket dinner.

My sweet husband sent me Valentine Flowers on Friday.
(15 weeks Pregnant)

Saturday morning, we woke up ready for 

our appointment, but we had to wait until 11:00!  

So we ate homemade cinnamon rolls 

with fruit and orange juice.  Yummy.

My parents came over to the house and 

we all wrote down our guesses for baby!

I made a list of old wives tales and circled

my symptoms to give everyone a little

assistance...

(We gave my co-workers and several

family members an opportunity to guess)

This list would make you believe it's a Boy!

5 Votes for Girl; 11 Votes for Boy

Finally, it was 10:40 and we could leave the house

and go to our appointment!  We were all so excited

and hoping Baby Underwood would cooperate so we 

could determine gender.  15 weeks is about the

earliest anyone will attempt to determine

gender.  So it was a bit of a gamble...

The grandparents!

Our appointment was at

Miracle in the Womb.  

The grandparents and my cousin

Lauren and her husband Scott

were in attendance.

The parents-to-be!

We were all in a room with a big screen TV.

It was amazing to watch Baby Underwood squirming

around (Thank you Candace for the orange 

juice recommendation).  My cousin Lauren and the 

ultrasound technician knew immediately that 

Baby Underwood was a boy.  He wiggled his

hands and fingers and wouldn't let go of

the umbilical cord.  He even moved his mouth.

He put on a great show for us - he's already

ready for the millions of pictures his paparazzi 

mother is planning to take of him.  

Here are a few of the pictures we got

of Baby Boy Underwood.

After our appointment, we drove to Mi Cocina

on Cherry Street in Tulsa for a 

celebratory lunch!  Before lunch, Baby Boy

Underwood got his first gender specific gift

from Gramps and Grammie...

A sweet book and a "lovey"

The whole bunch smiled for a picture after lunch

before we all went to Utica Square to shop

at Pottery Barn Kids!  What a fun day!   

Gramps, Grammie, Eric, Me, Lauren, Scott, Grandma Ronda, and Grandpa Brian

 We bought a sheet set, quilt

and bedskirt so that I can start planning

the paint colors for the nursery.

Our nursery theme is "transportation"

so it will be cars, trains, and planes mostly.

And it's very bright and cheery!

Oliver helped us reveal Baby Underwood's

gender on Facebook on Sunday, Valentine's Day!

He always does a great job in pictures (Even

when he is afraid of the balloons).

So, there you have it!  Baby Underwood

is a beautiful Boy and we can't wait

to meet him!  We just have to come up

with a sweet little name...

So stay tuned!

Oliver Gender Reveal Photo Outtakes...

Shortly after this picture, Oliver figured out the balloons
were somehow attached to him... but he ran off trying to
get away from them... so we had to develop a new plan
to get him near the balloons without putting them on him.

In the process of jumping down to escape the balloons

"But I don't want to sit here, Mom!"

"Nope, this is as close as I will get to them..."

"But they are so scary!  They make a noise... and they
were chasing me earlier!"
