Gender Reveal

We did something fun and different this time around to find out if we're having a little boy or girl. I know a few people that have done this, and it just seemed like it would be fun. And it definitely was!

I had a sonogram on Monday afternoon, and I asked the tech to write down on the inside of a blank greeting card what she saw, and then immediately seal it. Once we were done there, I took it to Market Street and ordered a cake. They were to fill the inside with either pink or blue icing, depending on what the card said. I left the card with them (mainly so they would know what to do, but also so I wouldn't be tempted to open it.... I couldn't have had that thing sitting around my house all day and night!). I went to pick up the cake and the card early Tuesday evening in time to go to dinner with our families.

Soooo, fast forward through what was probably the LONGEST 24 hours of my life.....

Most of you probably know by now that we are having a GIRL! I am so excited that Carter will have a little sister! Which I find hilarious, because he's been saying all along this was going to be a "sisser." He, and everyone else! I guess I was the only one that wasn't completely convinced this baby was indeed a little girl! But she is! And we are very excited!

Thanks to our parents and my brothers for coming tonight and being a part of all the silliness. I think they would all agree that it was very nerve racking and exciting all at once!

Finished with dinner and VERY ready to cut that cake!

 The cake

 Moment of truth!

 I think I shouted, "IT'S PINK!!!!!"

YAY!!

The card

 Proof!

 More proof. This is a "butt shot"... and it looks very different from Carter's. The backwards C shape (over to the right) are her legs... and there are no boy parts in between!

Can't you tell Carter is so excited?! HA!

Now we just need a name!!
