Yay!!! I'm so glad that Shelby's dresses were able to be made after all! They all are so cute - and how great that she'll be able to wear them as she grows!

Thanks! I can't wait to see her in them! I am tempted to put them on her now & take pics, but I think I can wait a few more days & see her for the 1st time wearing them at Disney!

GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My sister in law went for her ultrasound Thursday to find out the sex of the baby. But only my mother in law found out. She wanted to share it with the rest of the family. So today at 5 pm, we had a dinner party. Little miss Sophia Grace Dion is due October 20, 2010. I am only a little jealous that Shelby will no longer be the only granddaughter.

Here are the pics from the party!
Getting ready to pull the strings!

Pulling the strings!

And this is how we all found out! Love the look on her face!

Her face is priceless, I think she was crying!

These balloons were shoved in the skylight!

The proud parents to be! Melissa & Corey

WOW!!! What a way to find out! I love how they found out with the balloons falling like that. It would drive me crazy not knowing the sex of my baby when someone else did, though.

We are too! The grandkids are Koby, Brady, Landon & Shelby. So Shelby is way out numbered. How is this for something awesome...Landon was born in 2008, Shelby was born in 2009, Sophia will be born in 2010...3 grandkids in 3 years!!!!

Great updates! I love the carriages-- I am thinking about ordering some for me and my SIL. I am so glad that the dresses got done! They are too cute and will look great on Shelby!

Congrats on your SIL's baby! That is a great way to find out. I may have to borrow the idea in the future!

Thanks! The carriages are more beautiful in person! I can't wait to see Shelby in her dresses!

I agree, not sure if I could wait that long, though, to find out the sex of my baby There was also talk of the cake idea. You dye the inside of the cake pink or blue & the dad cuts from one end & the mom cuts from the opposite end. The inside of the cake lets everyone know what the sex of the baby is.

So......are we excited yet? You're down to just days.

EXTREMELY!!!!!! My mother in law took Shelby today so I can finish packing, do the rest of the laundry & clean house. I hate coming home from vacation to a dirty house!

 

[amyrella]

is this wierd... i got a little teary eyed with the way your cousin found out the sex of the baby!! lol that must have been such an exciting moment!!

omg only 5 days!!!! or is it 4 days till you leave?? omg!!

 

[therussells08]

Those dresses are sooo cute! I am SO excited to see pictures from this trip! I'm still considering making that ticker to countdown you starting your TR. Which will be five minutes after you get home I hope!!

That was amazing the way she found out the sex of the baby! I love that idea! I had a friend who was pregnant and she didn't find out the sex of her baby until the baby shower. Everyone else knew so they bought gender appropriate gifts, but before she opened her gifts they told her she had to cut her cake because underneath the frosting the cake was blue and that's how they told her it was a boy! I love things like that!

The trip is so close! Right about now would be when I stop sleeping at night because of excitement!

That was very sweet of her. I always clean my house from top to bottom before we go on a trip. I want a clean house when I get home too.

Time will fly and you'll be on your way to Disney in just a few days! I am jealous!

I love the dresses too! I can't wait!!!!!!! The TR will get started probably on the 24th or the 25th, once we get everything settled. I will be busting from excitement to not to start sharing the pics!!

My mother in law did a great job planning it!!! She wanted to wait until the shower to reveal it to everyone, including herself, but we managed to talk her out of it!

She was dying for a Grandma day with Shelby anyway . I hardly ever let her leave this house!

I got a text message from Ben that said 4 days 5 hours until I get off of work & 4 days 7-8 hours until we leave!!!! Seems like these last few days are dragging!!!!

Anyone else having issues uploading pics to photobucket?

 

[shelbys mommy]

Photobucket is acting screwy, so I went to tinypic instead. Hoping this actually works! But we are all packed up & ready to go. 4 days & 2 hours we will be on the road!!!!!!
