Gender reveal party!!
Oh how I wish I had known about this when I was pregnant. A party to reveal the gender of your baby, how fun is that? Not only do your guests not know the gender of your baby, but neither do you. This secret information comes from your doctor to us. Then we get to planning!
Your party gets underway. Your guests are arriving. The women are ooing and cooing over the bump. The men are giving their congratulatory handshakes and pats on the back. Everyone is snacking on baby sized portions of food. All the moms in the group are sure they know the gender of your baby by the way you are carrying that bundle in your tummy. All the fathers are telling the dad-to-be how his life is about to change. The old pro parents are dramatically sharing war stories and triumphs. "Five days straight with no sleep? Ah that's nothing. I had been up 10 days straight, when...." And then, just as everyone is relaxing and enjoying the time with your friends and family, an announcement is made. "Everyone come hither! For now tis the time for the big celebratory climax." Everyone gathers around the cake table. Whispers and giggles flutter about the room. Grandma Jane gives a knowing nod as Grampa Joe's chuckle fills the room. Aunt Sally smiles widely. Your best friends Carry and Mark hold each other lovingly. Your mom gives you a hug. You take your knife in your hand and your spouse places his hand lovingly on top. Slowly it slips into the white, creamy, frosting and through the letter "B" on downward into the cake. The sugary smell of decadence fills the air. Out comes the knife with tiny crumbles of cake clinging to its blade. What do you see? Is it pretty, perfect pink? Or is it beautiful, bold blue? Wait..... do I see a crumble of pink and a crumble of blue? Twins?......... who knew?
We did!!!!! And now so do you!
