IT'S A.........!!!!!!


It was quite a fun weekend at the Thomas house! Josh and I ended the work week on Friday with dinner with some great friends. I treated myself to a few chicken wings, so Saturday morning we hit the gym hard! I had an AMAZING 2 hour workout!!! I did an hour long circuit training session with a new trainer at my gym followed by an hour of power yoga with my favorite instructor. It felt SO good to pump it out hard in a new class. I think this is going to be my new Saturday routine. Josh hit the gym hard as well with a few of his friends. Needless to say we are both VERY sore, I'm not sure who is waddling around worse. hahaha

After our workouts Saturday we got the house ready for our  gender reveal party!!!! It was an absolute blast!!! It would have been even more fun if I didn't accidently spoil the surprise 10 minutes before the reveal. A little advice for those of you wanting to do a gender reveal: 1) do the reveal as soon as you can after finding out  2) do the big reveal as soon as everyone gets to your house  3) just avoid talking about the baby until you reveal.

Josh and I both accidently spilled the beans at dinner with our friends Beth and Brad on Friday by using the word "she" in a conversation. They promised they would act surprised on Saturday at the reveal and pretend they had no idea, but that didn't matter because 10 minutes before the last 5 friends got to our house for the reveal I spilled the beans again to the entire room by using the word "her"!!!!!

So the big reveal was only big for the last 5 people that weren't in the room when I gave it away, but it was still a BLAST!!!!


So here's what we did.....

Well of course we had to start out by wearing some sort of costume! We decided it was only proper to wear onsies to honor our little one!

 We call our group of friends "Team Turkey" so it was only fitting that we give our little "turkeytot" (thank you Beth for the wonderful nickname) an initiation outfit.



We got all of our friends to gather outside and gave them each a can of silly string (we took off the caps and covered the labels so they didn't know what color it was). Everyone who thought it was a boy stood on one side and everyone who thought it was a girl stood on the other side. When we said "go" they had a huge silly string fight and the color of the silly string told them the sex of the baby!


They think it's a boy


They think it's a girl






 IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!!!



We are happy to announce that we will be welcoming Jordan Willow Thomas into the world at the beginning of April! Chance can't wait to meet his little sister!
