Project Baby Bennett: 22 weeks + 1 day: Announcing Our Little Girl!

We had a fantastic Baby Bennett Gender Reveal Party this past Sunday! We had a really great time and it was all just what we had pictured. (Jerry's mom Rhonda came and was a party project powerhouse! Very many thanks to her! Thank you, Gramma Rhonda! It would not have been the same party without your help and we appreciate it so much.) We had a great turnout. Lots of friends came to celebrate with us and some seemed just as excited as we were!

A friend of mine from work brought his fancy camera and took lots of beautiful pictures. He captured the moments perfectly:

Rhonda made a cute little baby/fruit bassinette...

We had a collection of Jerry's and Rhonda's baby clothes on display...

I made a few banners with the ultrasound pictures we've collected so far...

The cake was as delicious as it was pretty. This was our design, but the cake was ordered as a gift from one of Jerry's clients, Eva. You can imagine how grateful we are... How generous!

We had our party guests bet on whether they thought we would be having a boy or a girl, and then indicate which one by wearing either a red felt mustache or a pink ribbon. Mustaches seemed to be the majority at cake-cutting time...

In this picture, you can also see the shoes Jerry wore as a baby, and the blankets that were made for me as a baby. The tablecloth is the quilt my mom made for me. It's still getting use to this day!

Of course, little Tippy was enjoying the party.

(Her original bet was for a boy, hence the collar mustache.)...

As always, Vesper was our loyal party monitor, she inspected every square inch of yard for dropped morsels. (Her bet all along was for a girl. She looks so pretty in pink.)...
