It was a house full of family and friends. It was nice to have everyone (even the men) present. This is exactly how Amanda imagines her life, surrounded by the ones she loves.
Her sister, Lyndsay, was the only one aware of the sex of the baby. Prior to the shower, Amanda purchased a girl outfit, and Jesse a boy outfit. Lyndsay put one of the outfits in a bag for them to open at the party. They sat down and opened a card, in it told the parents to be what they were expecting. So it was nice for them to find out before us, even if it was just moments. Then they pulled out the little outfit and confirmed what I had thought all along, that they were expecting a baby boy. What a nice thing to be able to experience together!
