The Reveal!

After the appointment, and after the secret delivery to the bakery, I busied myself with getting things ready for the party. I made a variety of appitizers including little smokies, spinach dip and bread, tortillas pinwheels with salsa, ham and pickle roll ups, ham and pepperoncini pepper roll ups, ham and dilly bean rollups, pink lemonade, blue raspberry lemonade and an assortment of pink and blue candies. It turned out pretty cute. As guest arrived they signed their name on a page designating if they thought the baby was going to be a boy or a girl. The list was quite a bit longer for a girl! After everyone had had something to eat and we were sure all that were going to be there were there we handed out the cupcakes to everyone with specific instructions not to bite into it yet. We made sure everyone had one and then on the count of three we all took a bit to reveal the gender! It was so exciting and the anticipation about killed me. I took a huge bite to make sure that I got into the middle to see the filling. IT WAS PINK!!! I let out the biggest scream of excitement!! I was absolutely thrilled!! I had been having feelings that it was a little girl, but I wasn't sure if that was wishful thinking because I did want another little girl or of I was having motherly instincts. I tried to tell myself too, not to be disappointed if it was blue, but I was so happy that it was pink!!! It was one of the funnest parties we have had and without a doubt probably the most memorable. I wish I had done something like that with the other kids. Paige was very excited to learn that she would be getting a sister and Parker said, "I don't care the next one will be a boy" ummm NO! there will not be a next one Parker! Paige was sure the we were going to continue our pattern Boy(Matt), Girl(Erika), Boy(Parker), Girl(Paige), Boy(Paxten), Girl(.....). And we are so happy that she was right. We can't wait to meet our new little girl and to welcome into our family. Yes, she will have a "P" name. We actually already have it picked out, we have for a few years, we just need to agree on a middle name!!
