The Reveal

Okay - Here is the long awaited blog post - the Gender Reveal!  (Even though most of you reading my blog are doing so through facebook, and thus already know what we are having by the time you read this... but try to act surprised!)

FINALLY Father's Day was upon us, and having commissioned Fuss Cupcakes to make us a color coordinated cake, all we had to do was wait for noon to arrive so we could pick up the cake, and then head north to Ben's parents house for the reveal.  Fortunately though, we didn't have a full day of silence, as I called my mom first thing in the morning to give her her own reveal because she wasn't able to be there for the cake cutting!

Maybe it was the birds chirping, the brightness in the room, or excitement itself, but Ben and I had a horrible night's sleep and found ourselves wide awake at 6am, after having dropped into bed just past 1:30am.  We managed to force ourselves back into slumber a little longer only to wake up again at 6:45, then again at 7:15 before finally just giving in to consciousness, and just getting up.  Being only 7ish AM and knowing it was still far too early to call my mom (she's a late sleeper) we killed time online and talked until 8:30 when we couldn't take it any more, and I decided to just wake my mom up!

When she answered she was groggy, but excited to hear that it was us, so I think she woke up very quickly knowing what was coming.  But before we could say anything she said "It's a boy right?" ... funny how many people have been saying that lately...  I corrected "It's a girl!"  Our little Thieson is a Baby Girl!

Once we got off the phone with mom, we made breakfast, and did some chores around the house, before getting ready and heading out.  We stopped at Fuss Cupcakes and picked up the cake, which was even more amazing than we were expecting! 


    
The Booties on the top were a nice touch!  I didn't even ask for that!  So cute!! 


Once we got to Mom and Dad T's we wandered around the yard and chatted until Dee arrived, and then set up the camera for cake time!  Here's the video:




As you can see - our little baby girl will be welcomed with open arms!  ... And the cake was Delicious!!  





It's funny how many people were coming out of the wood work guessing that we were having a little boy this last week.  As soon as I knew the gender, Aunts, Uncles, Parents, Cousins and Co-workers were all telling me that they were sure I was having a boy.  (It's really hard to keep a straight face when someone makes a statement like that, and you know they are wrong lol).  I'm relieved I don't have to keep this secret any more!  That was hard work!  Especially since we went to a BBQ with a lot of extended family on Saturday - people that I was either meeting for the first time, or I haven't seen since I announced my pregnancy at Easter, so lots of people wanted to talk about the baby, and on more occasions than not I had to slow down what I was saying to make sure I wasn't giving the gender away!  


Now I can shout it from the rooftops if I so choose - I'M HAVING A GIRL!!!!  *sigh*  That feels awesome!  


I would have been thrilled to find out I was having a little boy too - but I am relived that Ben and I will at least have a little girl so that I am able to pass on my wealth of knowledge of the Beauty world - I joked with Ben that if we didn't have a girl, our boys would surely be the most well kept little men around with perfectly gelled hair, and a new haircut every week!  (I have to do something with my talents!)  But I am pretty happy that I know I will have a little princess to braid, and curl and one day shadow, and manicure :)   All in all - Ben and I are completely Thrilled :) 




(Editing note... I haven't a clue what happened to my formatting or how to change it...  I guess this is the last time I color the words in a post... )

  1. I was telling Ashton that I really hoped it would be a girl -- between the two of you, that chick would have the best of good looks, tomboy and geekiness all rolled into one (which is a really rare combination in a girl, in my experience). She's gonna be one of the coolest chicks EVER. :) Congratulations, you guys! LOVE how you announced it.
