So we decided to mix this up a bit. Instead of just letting the ultrasound technician tell us whether we're having a boy or a girl, we brought with a few of our kids to our ultrasound, and asked the technician to write the gender of our baby and place the telltale pic of him or her inside the envelope. We stopped at the store on the way home and picked out 1) pink candies and treats 2) blue candies and treats 3) a pinata.
We gave the envelope to my mom and the kids and let them have fun stuffing and decorating the pinata with the appropriate color surprises, and later that night video taped us all whapping it to find out if we are having a boy or a girl!
Dad had the winning hit...a home run!
It's a boy! Yup...we're definitely mixing it up here.
