WHAT IS IT?

My stock answer?  "I'm hoping for a Newfoundland Puppy - you know, webbed paws and all."

But, since we found out last Monday, the Hub and I really kept the gender as secret as possible.  READ:  My Mum doesn't even know because she has been busy all day and unable to make our "gender reveal party"

So, the Hub and I used our future child for an excuse to eat, drink and make merry.  There were Tequila-Lime Chicken Wings, Deer Brats, Kosher Dogs, Pulled Pork, Salami Sammies, Taco Layer Dip, Dessert Dip, Veggie Salad, Cookies, Chips. . . NOM!

Then, we had cupcakes.  15 chocolate and 15 white cake.  Each topped with white frosting, sprinkles and a question mark.  (FYI,  sprinkles are really pointless.  They don't have taste and are actually really gross if you eat them alone!)

. . . Let's see the results, shall we?

So many questions. . . so little time.  They were absolutely delicious - from what I hear - as they came from Lubely's Bakery.  This is the same bakery that did my wedding cake.  They are fresh baked and never frozen.  If you are in Saint Louis, make sure to check them out!!

. . . The chosen victim

The decorations were simple today.  Other than Pink and Blue napkins and plates, everything was normal.  In fact, the house is so clean still!  Thank goodness for grown-ass friends! 

. . . And the verdict?

I'm carrying a little girl.  This was a surprise last Monday during the ultrasound.  I was pretty sure we were going to have a boy.  I should have known that I'd get what I want.  ;)

Meanwhile. . . now that everyone has cleared the house, I need to go bleach the bathroom and get cleaned up for bed.  Life is good.
