30th birthday and gender reveal!

So let's see, we have been BUSY! Where to begin?

20 week ultrasound went great! B was moving around like crazy.  Baby was perfect, and measuring 3 days ahead.  They also re-confirmed the sex for the 3rd time.

We have known the gender since 12 weeks, that is right....12 weeks! We have been keeping this secret for a while now! But here it goes!
We are so excited that B is a...................BOY!

Mason Bruce Parks

When we decided on Logan's name, we also said we loved the name Mason and if we ever had another little boy that would be the name.  Well here we are almost 4 years later and still love that name!
We also decided that the middle name will be my Dad's name, Bruce.

Another sweet little boy to take up my heart, we are so overjoyed with this little blessing.  Logan is pretty excited about having a baby brother too! We told him the name and now he calls him "Mason B" since we have been calling him "B" forever.  But since his middle name is Bruce, Mason B seems fitting.

We did our first gender reveal in Laredo with Bryan's family back in July.

We had to tell my parents of course, but since this was their 4th grandson, we played a little trick on them.
I picked out a girl card and I thought my Mom was going to pee her pants.  Then on the inside we let them know their 4th grandson was on his way! She might still be mad at me.  But of course they are excited!

The night before my birthday, Bryan and Logan went out and got me a gift.  Bryan and I do not ever do individual gifts,  so I never expected anything.  I was very surprised when he gave me the "Mother's Love" necklace from James Avery.  

We also had my 30th birthday this past weekend and did the gender reveal there to share the news with friends! We had stickers with a bow or bow tie.  Most of my friends thought girl :)

It was such a fun day surrounded by people I love! Even the adults had fun on the water slide!
We had burgers and hot dogs, the kids played and crashed out, and the adults stayed up too! I cannot believe I finally went to bed at 1am! I am so lucky to have such great friends in my life!

Then my poor sweet boy woke up with a little cold, he must have partied too hard! All he wanted to do was stay in bed with his juice and balloon! He feels better now though :)

I feel so very lucky and blessed at this stage in my life.  There is so much more that I thought I would have accomplished by 30, but I can honestly say I have everything I could ever want in life. On to the next one!
