At first, I didn't plan on doing a gender reveal party for Baby Hoek 2.0 because I was feeling so terrible. But sometime at the start of August, I started to feel halfway human again and decided, why not!? Mike was fine with it to so on with planning! I picked a "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star" because Julie likes that song (and she sung it quite a few times throughout the day!) and "How I Wonder What You Are?" is a pretty good theme in and of itself ;)
Not a ton of people were able to make it, but even with a couple last minute cancellations, we had a very fun time. I had lots of snackies and treats, and people made quick work of those, thankfully! The weather was crummy in the morning but by the time everyone was there, it was lovely out and we went outside to share our big secret. Mike and I found out the prior Tuesday what we were having so we had to keep it secret for a few days. It was fun telling people that it was a secret ;) They were very impatient by the time it was time to open the box.
It's a GIRL! Julie seemed so excited when she saw it was pink. Oh, who am I kidding, she was just excited for the balloons ;)
