Dear Baby,

Today we learned that you are a boy! We decided to do something a little different this time because it’s very likely (like as certain as can be) that you will be the last baby added to this family. So, we went to our ultrasound this morning and had the ultrasound tech write “boy” or “girl” on a card and put it in an envelope. Then, we dropped the envelope off next door with Erin. She baked us the most beautiful cake, and tonight BEFORE dinner (Whaaatt?? Cake before dinner???), the four of us cut into it and it was bright BLUE! At that moment, we knew we were being blessed with another handsome little gentleman! This was such a special and exciting time for our family! We are so excited to meet you, sweet baby boy.

Love you,
Mama

Erin had to deliver the cake in gloves because she spilled a little food coloring on her hands and she didn’t want us to know before we got to cut the cake what color it was!

Here’s the card and the envelope that we passed off to Erin after the ultrasound: (We gave it to her sealed and she returned it later so we could have it.)
