Fish I am so happy to read your update! I know it must have been bittersweet for you. Your sweet baby girl will always have a little angel brother/sister watching over her! HUGS

How is everyone going to announce their pregnancy/gender??? I have only told parents and siblings and a few close friends about the pregnancy. I have decided to wait on everyone else so I don't have to deal with the questions and comments about having another boy or if I want a girl. Well, Im going to announce my pregnancy and gender at the same time on facebook after we find out what we are having. I'm planning on Saying "We are expanding our home by 2 feet" and adding a pic like this with all of our feet

Only the baby shoes will either be pink girly shoes or boy shoes, and I'll just let them figure it out. I wont actually say its a girl or its a boy!
How is everyone else doing it?

Thats a super cute idea!

We actually did a gender reveal party last week after my ultrasound. I baked cupcakes and added a blue filling in all the cupcakes then iced half with pink and half with blue icing on top. All our local family/friends came by and I had them all choose a pink or blue cupcake based on what they thought the baby was. On the count of "3" everyone bit into their cupcakes at the same time to reveal the surprise blue filling. It was so much fun and the best part was that I didn't receive a single negative comment. Everyone gave me hugs and lots of smiles and "congratulations" because they could see how much we wanted to celebrate this little guy and he isn't "just another boy". I'm so happy we did it.

That's such a cool idea!!!

Thats a really cute Idea! I don't have any family close by so we can't do a gender reveal party, plus no one would want to eat any cupcake I made, I am a terrible baker! I wish I could do a party, but I am in Ohio and all my close friends and family are in Utah, so my reveal has to be online, its lame I would much rather do it in person! Oh well I think everyone will like this pic and hopefully they figure out by the color of shoes. Maybe I'll do a black and white pic and only have the baby shoes be in color. That way it will stand out more! I'll let you guys help me pick if it should be in color or not before I post it!

I wish I had announced it in a cute way on FB. My plan was after the party to cut open one of the cupcakes and take a pic of it with the blue filling and add some kind of a cute announcement then post it on FB. Unfortunately there were no cupcakes left doh! I wasn't going to bake another batch just for a pic lol so I just did a boring announcement. Wish I had seen your shoe idea before, I might have stolen it

[Thorz300]

LOL thats funny, I wouldn't have baked another batch just for the pic either! I am bored right now and have to go to the store to get milk so I think I will buy some baby boy and baby girl shoes and then take some pics of the boys with the shoes now so I can edit them. I kind of want all of our feet in it though, so I might have to wait until Easter when DH is home. But I think I will play around with pics of the boys with the shoes today because I am so bored.

Looking forward to seeing how they turn out!
