It's a...

GIRL!!

In typical Brandon and Mandy fashion, we had to reveal the gender in an exciting way :) We met my family for coffee after our ultrasound this morning for the big announcement. We walked in with a blue diaper bag and a pink diaper bag (courtesy of my parents cleaning out their garage and finding the diaper bags Steph and I had for our Cabbage Patch Kids). We set the appropriate colored bag on the table and the secret was out!! In all the chaos at the coffee shop we didn't get any pictures taken of the reveal, so we recreated the scene here at home so we would have pictures to share :) We even had a pink balloon and a blue balloon at the scene and James picked the pink balloon before we even made the official announcement - they're already bonding :) Anyway, we're all really excited and are just praying for a safe, healthy pregnancy and delivery. Thanks for sharing in our excitement!

P.S. When I was looking at these pictures before I posted them, I mentioned to my husband that he took them at an unflattering angle and I looked a little hefty. To which he replied, "You don't look fat, you look pregnant." (He earned some brownie points there.) He then offered to try to "fix" the pictures, and clicked on the "Trim" button. We found that that crops the picture, it doesn't make you look trim. So these are the unedited, pregnant (not fat) Mandy pictures for you to enjoy :)
