The Unveiling

Jamie and Matt found out the gender of their child!  They found out on Monday, but didn’t even tell anyone that they had found out, but I overheard Matt tell his mom that they knew the gender.  I convinced them to have the unveiling party that night, since the next time they could get everyone together wouldn’t be until Sunday and I wanted to know really badly. 

They were easily persuaded.  The only thing that held them back a little bit was that they hadn’t told Mom yet, and because of the time difference, she would pretty much be the last to know.

They dyed my tongue with food coloring to tell me, so that Matt and I could go buy some decorations while Jamie made some cupcakes.  The plan was to put a gumball in the middle of the cupcake so that when people bit into it, the gumball would reveal the gender.

 

Everyone was instructed to wear the color that they thought the baby would be.  Jenny and Mei Ling wore blue, Kristen wore black (??) and I wore pink.

 

The gumball mechanism worked!  Here’s an extremely attractive picture of Jame with her genderfull baby.

Did you get that?  Could you tell?  That’s right, Jamie and Matt are having a baby girl!

Can’t wait to make that CD of daddy-daughter country songs for Matt.  I have so many of them- they get me every time.

And you know what else that means… I was right!  And so were Matt and Jamie, since both of them thought it would be a girl too.  :)

 

Can’t wait to have three nieces within 8 months of each other.  I really need to get going or all my babies aren’t going to have any kids their age!
