Drumroll please.....

Team Girl                                            Team Boy

It's a..........GIRL!!!

It's a Girl! It's a Girl! It's a Girl!!

I was shocked. Floored. Flabbergasted.

Good thing I'm not a betting woman, cause I would

have put all my chips on 'boy'.

Wow.

I mean, how great is that?

Rachael and Matt will be awesome parents to

ALL the children they have, but I'm especially thrilled

for my friend because in her heart of hearts she

really wanted a girl first. 

And I'm SO thrilled for them!!

The party was great...

such a fun way to celebrate exciting news with

your closest friends and family.

I loved it.

Here's some pictures from the night!!

Party decorated in pink and blue with

Rachael's signature pom poms...

Baby Clark!!

Yummy snackies...

Guests arriving!!

Everyone was buzzing around with anticipation!

I ALMOST was too excited to eat anything...

almost...

Bah-looons!!

Everything looked so cute!! Now you see why the

pressure is on for me to throw one helluva

baby shower for this girl!!

Mommys gettin' a lil belly!

We couldn't stand to wait another second...

so, it was time for the big reveal...

{Ok...so...I had really great intentions of uploading my

not-so-great video I took of the big reveal-however after

4 days of attempting to figure out how to upload a video

I have given up and decided to continue one sans video...

Feel free to pretend like you saw an awesome clip just now...}

Ok...I might be the worst videographer ever. EVER.

Sorry bout that one Rach :(

maybe somebody other than your 

unable-to-multitask-overly-excited-and-emotional

friend should have taken up video recording?? Oh, well.

And my voice. wow. it's terrible...

BUT atleast you can get a glimpse of the eruption

of excitement that occurred!

Rachael's rendition of when she realized

it was a girl at her ultrasound appointment..

love that face!! 

Grandpa Springer is so excited!!

We all are!!

YaY!!

I can't wait to meet this sweet little girl..

June can't get here soon enough!!!
