. . . a baby, yes . . . but we decided to find out the gender at our 20 week sonogram.
I'm 28 weeks along now, so we've known for a few weeks, which has basically enabled us to shop more than we probably would have if we hadn't found out the gender.
We tortured our families by making them wait a few weeks to find out around Thanksgiving. We wanted everyone to be together to hear the news. So Imani, Jason and I made a cake with pink and blue on the outside.
We had the grandmas cut the cake to reveal blue icing on the inside (which I foolishly didn't take a picture of, but I'm blaming that on the forgetfulness of pregnancy).
We are thrilled to be having a boy, especially Imani, who really wanted a baby brother.
But names are not coming easily for us! We have a growing list of possibilities, but nothing solid yet.
And we just started planning the nursery, so we'll be sure to update as progress is made.
Congratulations! The cake idea was great! As the mom of a son, I recommend you get lots of rest now because you'll need it. Boys are a handful...but lots of fun!
