We're expecting a BOY!!! We are looking forward to meeting our baby boy, SAWYER JOHN HOUSTON come December! We found out the gender right before 13 weeks because of early prenatal testing done through blood work. I received the phone call from my doctors office in the middle of the day at work and I could not contain my excitement. Bryan and I would have been extremely happy for a precious little girl or a sweet little boy regardless, but we were really hoping for a baby boy. Since Bryan and I weren't together at the time of the phone call I wanted to do something special for him to reveal the gender. We are both crazy Tennessee football fans as most of you know, so I wanted to find matching outfits for daddy and son. I rushed over to Alumni Hall and picked out the sweetest Tennessee onesie to match his daddy come football season (for next year). As soon as he walked in the door from work I surprised him and it was one of my favorite moments that I've ever shared with him. We have family and friends all spread out so we were waiting to tell everyone in person when we got the chance. We shared the news with our family and friends in different ways, some found out on Fathers Day weekend, but were waiting to have a gender reveal party for all our friends (and some family) to find out at once before announcing to everyone. Being able to share the news with our family and friends was the best feeling. Almost everyone, besides a select few thought we would have a girl, so almost everyone was completely shocked. Our gender reveal party was one of my favorite days to date. We spent the day with some of our favorite people and couldn't wait to share the news with everyone. Although we kept it simple, we enjoyed a big cookout at our house filled with pink and blue yummies. We did our reveal with a massive balloon that read "He or She? Pop to see!" filled with blue confetti. We were all out in the yard and surprised almost everyone when the blue confetti went everywhere. Words can not explain the joy we have during this special time. God has been truly working in our lives and we owe all this to him. God has answered all our prayers and showed us if we live for him he will provide for us. We are feeling extremely blessed and thank everyone from the bottom of our hearts who took part in our special day. I also want to thank everyone who has reached out and all the kind words we have received over these last few weeks. I can say we've never been so happy. I look forward to these next few months, please keep us in your prayers for the mean time... we cant wait to meet our precious boy, Sawyer!
