Gender reveal…

January 26, 2012 by · Leave a Comment
Back in November, we posted about our dilemma to find out baby’s gender or not.  One of our sweet readers Carlee said it was one of life’s only true surprises, which motivated us to wait until delivery day.  We squirmed all through our 18-week appointment but did not peek when the ultrasound tech checked baby’s “parts.”  We left clutching the sealed envelope with baby’s gender.

Fast forward to New Years Eve… we do what we do every holiday season: watch the complete set of Seinfeld.  We are huge fans and are naming the baby Seven.  Just kidding :)  Season 3 Episode 18 plays and we keep hearing “You gotta see the baby, Jerry! The baby!”  to which my hubby turns to me and starts pestering me about opening the envelope.  I told him he can find out but not to tell me (yeah right!) so we tore it open together but were left standing with blank pieces of paper.  Ha ha- the tech tricked us!

…………no, she didn’t; it fell out of the envelope and our sweet 19-month old son was holding the card saying “It’s A…………”

We are THRILLED :)  

To tell our families, we printed New Years cards and subtly added, “…we are expecting another son…” into the 2011 wrap up.  It was fun to get calls/texts of surprised grandparents/aunts/uncles of this baby who didn’t think we were going to find out his gender.

We can’t wait to meet him in 3 more months! :)
XOXO

    congrats! I am also having my second boy (I am due in May). I grew up with all sisters so it will be fun to see how brothers interact. We still haven't picked a name. Do you have one picked out yet?

    How very fun!!! I was excited our 2nd was a boy also. At that point I figured I knew how to handle baby boys. A girl would have been fun, but a whole new learning curve. Congratulations!! I can't believe you're already so far along! (Though I'm sure you're feeling every day of it.) ;)

    Congrats! I couldn't have waited either. We didn't get to find out with my first son and it drove me crazy! Not to mention how hard it is to find a gender neutral outfit to bring a baby home in. Yikes!

    Awwww YAY!!!!! So happy for you Kristi!! We're pretty determined to let our next one be a surprise (we have a boy and a girl now), but honestly I'm wondering if I'll really be able to wait so I don't blame you guys for ripping open that envelope! ha ha! SO happy for you!!
