Big News!

Basil and Guinness have a little announcement they want to make!

Yep! There's gonna be a little addition to Our First Place.

That "guest room" we were working on...so not a guest room. Did you guess? Actually at first, it was meant to be a guest room and that we had a little surprise! It was always intended to be a nursery, so the transition was easy. We're keeping the wall color. That's why I ordered the chandelier and why Keith worked so hard on refinishing the floors and installing crown moulding which looks gorgeous by the way!

Last week, we invited our family and friends over for a little 'Reveal party'. We attended my anatomy scan and I asked the ultrasound tech to write the gender down on a piece of paper. I gave the paper to my friend Lauren (Basil's girlfriend Ellie Mae's mom) who made cupcakes from scratch with either pink or blue icing. We got everyone together and Lauren delivered the cupcakes. We were able to find out the gender of Baby Brown together!

We asked everyone to come wearing their team colors. I was on Team Blue. Keith was on Team Pink. I always felt like it was a boy.

I made "team" lemonade and finger foods (not shown) such as baby corn, baby carrots, pigs in a blanket, and mini meatballs.

Here is the big surprise kept in this secret box!

IT'S A BOY!!!

Team Pink was defeated. Here we are with our victorious blue cupcakes!

Now let the nursery begin!
