IT'S A BOY!

Tonight was a very big night for Shaun and I. Not only did we celebrate our three year wedding anniversary, but we also found out that we were going to be welcoming a baby BOY in September! Originally we were set on not finding out, but instead we decided to think of a way to find out in a special way. So last week I took our ultrasound pictures to Edgar's and ask them to look at the pictures and then make a cake for us with either pink or blue icing on the inside. Alli and Korey picked the cake up for us today and dropped it off at the restaurant for us (so they knew before we did because it was on the order form). Shaun and I were able to make through the entire dinner without really thinking or talking about the cake, but the second they brought it out to us we were suddenly very nervous. Shaun's hand was actually shaking when he was cutting the cake. I just knew that I was going to be seeing pink but.....we saw BLUE! I started crying, our waitress started crying, even the bartender was crying. Shaun thought boy the whole time, but I was shocked! We feel so blessed, and I just keep walking around telling Shaun, "We're having a boy"!.

Sweet Alli, Korey and Eli drove all the way out to our house to decorate with blue balloons before we got home. Eli loves balloons so I don't know how that were able to make it out of of our house without him going crazy. Thank you Alli and Korey for all that you do for Shaun and I. We love you!
