It's a.....

If you are friends with Mark on Facebook he decided to ruin our surprise early. I was just too tired to even think about writing anything last night so instead I went to bed. Well we're once again going to be poor from shopping! It's a girl. The little booger wouldn't cooperate for all the measurements that needed done since she only wanted to face my spine so I have to go back in a month to get everything else measured.

Mark and I both had a 'feeling' that was what we were having. I was just a little shocked to be honest and the first words out of Mark's mouth was 'Well I guess we're now officially broke again.' He knows how  much I love shopping for girl clothes. Unfortunately the pocketbook won't handle it so I've made a commitment to try and be good this time around. There are some little girls out there that seriously wear the cutest clothes in the world. Ashley Soma and Eden Bullock....watch out because I'll be raiding your clothes stash!!!

I decided to make it a little more fun this time around by making cupcakes that were blue and pink with blue/pink swirled icing. My thought was that until they went to eat the cupcakes, our parents wouldn't know what we were having. Unforunately I didn't think about buying the foil wrappers so the pastel one's leaked what color cupcake they were getting. Oh well.

My mom had such a funny reaction! We handed her a gift bag with two cupcakes in them, one for her and one for my dad. Her first reaction was 'We're having two?!' It wasn't so much as a question as it was an exclamation. Jan about gave me a heart attack and I knew there was only one kid brewing. She was so excited about the thought of having two she completely missed the rest of our conversation (that my dad heard without his hearing aids) about how the icing colors didn't matter and the fact there was two didn't matter. What mattered was the color of cupcake they were going to eat. I swear it took her about 10 minutes to finally calm down and figure out what was going on.

Since I know it will be asked..we are sharing what we're having obviously but we are not sharing a name. And no we haven't even talked about a name yet. Also, I haven't yet picked out the blog winner so stay tuned for that!

The Guessing Game

This week is the big week where we'll find out boy or girl, 1 or multiple. Just kidding, we know for a fact there's only one baby roasting in there. So I'm going to give you all a chance to take a guess at what we're having.

Thursday is the big day! We never did a reveal on Facebook with Lane since I had family members that didn't want to know and we're friends on Facebook so that just wouldn't have been fair. This time around...too bad Missy....I've decided to reveal to anyone who wants to know. For future reference, if you don't want to know, you might not want to read my blog post on Thursday or Friday. Or even better you might just want to avoid my Facebook page and blog all together until my mom let's the cat out of the bag like she did last time.

So here's the deal if you want to participate. Leave a comment letting me know what you think the news will be. If you're the lucky guesser, I'll do a blog post about YOU. If you don't want a blog written about you (and your special secrets) you might not want to take a guess. My initial decision was to use the first person that guesses correctly but I haven't quite made the final decision yet.

Sooooo start guessing away! I can't wait to hear what everyone says.
