This past friday we finally had our ultrasound to determine if the little baby growing in Ally’s belly is a baby boy or girl. We could have found out last week but our doctor decided it would be a good idea for her to take a vacation… and of course she was booked the entire week she got back so we had to wait till Friday to see her.

First and most importantly, baby and mom are perfectly healthy, and the baby is right on track for a due date of October 3rd.

Our baby at 21 weeks

Once we knew what we were having we decided to have a little fun with it. Since my grandparents were up visiting from North Carolina and we were having dinner with them that Sunday we thought it would be fun to get a cake to celebrate and keep the sex a surprise until the cake was cut (blue frosting for a boy, pink for a girl).

Most of us were impatiently waiting and hurrying through dinner to get to desert, here was the outcome!

My gramps, finding out if he’s having a Great Grandson or Great Granddaughter

My family was pretty much split 50/50 on boy or girl while Ally’s was pretty sure (or hopeful) it was a boy since there are already 3 girls and only 1 boy to her two brothers. But like everyone says, as long as it’s a healthy baby, that’s all that matters.
