Pink or blue... it's a cupcake for you!

We had a sonogram today and the doctor says he's as certain as he can be. Our little one was not very shy, let me tell you! I've got quite a few pictures that look like the view from under a glass coffee table! We wanted to find a fun way to share the news with the children. There's not a question mark on my file, but these cute question mark cupcakes awaited my children this evening after Daddy came home. One big bite inside and they knew... pink or blue. You can roll your mouse over the picture and find out too! (If you are using a reader, you might have to click through.)
I did not mean for all that to rhyme.

Everybody is thrilled! Of course, we would have been thrilled with a boy or a girl. We are mostly thrilled that she looks healthy! We started the morning off with a session of "what's so wonderful about baby boys and girls" hoping to stem the tide of any disappointment that might be felt later. Everyone had to answer and it was so sweet to hear what the girls thought would be exciting about a baby brother and what the boys thought they could help a baby sister learn.

Sunshine said she could teach a brother how to knit because boys were the first knitters. Shortcake thought she could teach a brother all about Rangers as the Ranger's Apprentice adventure series is one of her favorites (she's an adventurous kind of girl). The Professor contemplated the girlie LEGO sets he's seen and thought he could help a little sister discover this wonderful world, the same as he's done for his two sisters already. And BigBoy realized that it's just as easy to make a baby sister laugh and giggle as a baby brother and he is definitely looking forward to that "chore".

Thank you for all the prayers, friends!
