We are having a little boy!!! Our gender cake party was so fun. It was great to be able to have our family there to share in all the excitement. We all wore "baby boy" or "baby girl" stickers to show what we thought it was. Team Boy: Bryan, Me, Tara (sister in law), Tom (Bryan's dad). Team Girl: Ben (my brother), Jill (my mom), Janet (Bryan's mom). Before I picked up the cake from the bakery I called ahead to make sure there were no notes taped the box or anything that would give away if the baby was a girl or boy. When I got there they gave me the cake in a box and a separate little styrofoam box. I asked what was in the little box and they said it is a gift tag to put on the cake and I should put it on just before we cut the cake. Of course I couldn't not look at it and when I got to the car I took a peek and it was pink and said congratulations! For so long I have thought this baby was a boy and every visualization I have had involves blue and little boy stuff. Pink seems so foreign to me right now. A lot of thoughts raced through my mind on that drive home from the bakery. Bras, periods, dating, complicated emotions, promiscuous clothing, etc. Being the over-anylzer that I am, I then started thinking the bakery did that on purpose to throw me off and it was a boy afterall. For whatever reason they did that, they played a good joke on me! Maybe one day we will have the chance to experience all those things I feared on my way home, but for now - we are super excited about this little boy!!!
