If you are following, you know that my husband and I are expecting our first child in September! On Sunday, we had a co-ed baby shower with the gender reveal. We had it at my family’s farm, it was a bit earlier compared to many baby showers because July and August would be extremely hot. We had a perfect day! We did our reveal with Mr. Softee ice cream truck. We gave him the envelope with the gender and pink and blue sprinkles. All the guests got their ice cream with the color sprinkles of the sex of the baby. We then found the gender when Mr. Softee handed us an ice cream cone with blue sprinkles on it…it’s a boy!! So was I in shock? No, my husband’s family have only been creating boys for the past 47 years! Maybe one day I will change that! Here are some pictures from our Baby in Bloom shower on our family’s farm.
