So...
We had a sex party this past weekend.
And lets just be honest, it was a lot of fun.
It is the up and coming thing to do, you know.
Invite your closest friends and family.
Ask them to dress accordingly.
Play some sort of game.
Enjoy some food.
And then, you know... find out the sex!
Which for us, happened to be in the form of some cupcakes.
We actually had our Ultrasound done on Friday. And I brought along an envelope to hide the gender from both myself and the Hub. But, the Hub decided to just find out then. So he teased me all weekend with rediculous clues about what I thought it might be.
{as if there are any other guesses besides a boy or girl??}
And, I read into every one of them. Overanalyzing. Prying. Staying awake at night thinking about what he had said.
It drove me crazy not knowing. More so because he did know.
But it was also really fun to wait until Sunday.
I had been anticipating this party since I first sent out the invites.
I made some pom pom decorations and set up a seperate room for food with none other than pink and blue napkins, plates and plasticware.
We made brats, pork tenderloin and had apples with PB dip, fruit and veggies, and some chips to nom on while everyone talked about their guess at what was being harbored in my belly.
Upon entrance to the party, they were given the option to vote for the gender.
I made a "clue" board to give voters a better idea of this pregnancy.
It included information like the heart rate {160bpm at 10 weeks, 155bpm at 19 weeks}.
The Chinese Gender Chart prediction: which happened to be Girl.
And some Old Wives Tale findings like crabbiness=Girl, sweets cravings=Girl, and Dry Hands=Boy.
The ratio of Girl to Boy findings was about 9 to 3. With an obvious GIRL baby being favored.
But I went with my instinct anyhow and voted for BOY, along with 13 other attendees.
The final result for the vote ended up being 15 GIRL votes to 14 BOY votes.
After everyone had lunch it was time for the GREAT reveal.
Via these cupcakes. Which were guarded as top secret.
{we only had to slap Grandma Sweetie Pie's hands twice}
The instructions were simple:
Attendees were supposed to pull the "baby pin" out of the top of the cupcake to reveal the color of the baby by way of some frosting my sister added to the top.
I, along with the rest of the family, pulled the pin... and found out we are going to be having another sweet little GIRL in January!!
That's right. These kiddos are getting a sister!!
We adorned the voting board with the contents of the TOP SECRET envelope.
And ended the party by giving away goodie bags that read:
"What A Sweet Addition"
Which is exactly how we all feel about this baby already.
She already fits so perfectly into our family, and we can't wait to see her face and hold her in our arms.
Next on the list is to find her a name.
Nolan.
Nevaly.
N?
Wish us luck!

The inside of the cupcake. With just enough pink.
