"It's a . . . . ."

So today was the exciting day that we had THE ultrasound!! Instead of simply being told, "It's a boy" or "It's a girl" we wanted to spice things up a bit (so we borrowed an idea from the Rowe's...thanks guys!!)

We asked the sonogram technician to write down what we are having inside a card and seal it up. Then we went to the mall and picked out 1 girl outfit & 1 boy outfit (that were the same price). I gave the envelope to the cashier and asked her to wrap only the one we needed (and hide the other). Then Emma opened the present as we videotaped. So here's our big news....

fun idea! did you have to not look at the screen during that part of the sono? it was SO obvious to even an untrained eye that our first was a boy, that's why i'm wondering :)
