Boy or Girl? That was the question?

Tim and I chose to get a little creative when it came to finding out the gender of our baby. We went to the ultrasound appointment and watched the screen in amazement when we got to see our little one for the first time. It truly was an incredible experience, but we wanted to prolong the excitement for as long as we could. That is why we took a piece of stationary with us, and asked the ultrasound tech to write down the baby's sex instead of saying it aloud. The envelope was sealed, and we took it with us to the Melting Pot where we had made dinner reservations.

Dinner was wonderful! Neither of us had ever eaten there before. The service was wonderful too even though the server about dropped some plates when he got a surprising response to his question, "Are ya'll here for a special occasion?" I replied, "In the envelope right here is written the gender of our baby, and we were going to open it right before dessert." Maybe I should have been a little less detailed and just replied, "Yes!" His shock wore off in time to take some pictures though. However, I was still very emotional as the pictures were being taken after the "Big Envelope Opening Reveal."
