Boy or Girl?

  James and I were scheduled to find out the gender of our new bundle on July 24th. Unfortunately, James had to go on a last minute trip out of the country and wasn't able to make the appointment. We talked it over and decided to keep the appointment, but to have the technician write the gender down and seal the result in an envelope. This way, we could both find out the gender of our new little nugget together. James returned late that night and we read the news together as a family of five-James, Hunter, and I, along with our two golden children. It was actually more special this way to all find out together.
  My husband poked at me because he thought I had cheated and read it before him. I'll have you all know that I put the envelope in a zipper pocket in my purse and didn't touch it. I can't say I have that much willpower when it comes to cheesecake, but I promise I didn't sneak a peak.
  The next morning we called our family and some close friends to relay the news. James asked what I would feel like if they had gotten it wrong. We would obviously be elated, regardless.
Our sweet neighbor and dear friend, Catriona, brought over donuts that were iced in pink and white with blue sprinkles, so that we could do a little gender reveal. Hunter enjoyed both donuts!


 Since James was teasing me about the tech getting the gender wrong, we decided to confirm before we revealed the gender to too many people publicly. We went to see a sweet glimpse of our little one this morning during an anatomy scan. We were excited to see a healthy baby. The technician, who knew nothing of Hunter's condition, said that the baby had a nice looking, healthy spine. James and I breathed a sigh of relief for the time being.

Check out that sweet profile.


So, without further ado......






We will be adding a new book to our story time collection.








                                                            


We are thrilled to be having a little GIRL at the end of December! We can't wait to meet our little Ladybug!
