It's a...

Before I got pregnant, Liz told me about this neat way to reveal the sex of the baby. Jayson & I decided that this would be a fun thing to do so we were ready for the fun...

Basically, during the 18 week ultrasound where the sex of the baby can be determined, the technician will write down the sex in an envelope-keeping it a secret from the parents-to-be. She seals the envelope and the couple takes the envelope to a local bakery where they bake a cake with the "answer" in the form of pink or blue icing on the inside of the cake. You can then "reveal" the sex of the baby around friends and family-all finding out at the same time.

All along, Jayson has been certain that we were having a girl. Pretty much everyone has told me that according to my symptoms, I would be giving birth to a baby girl. So, on the day we went in for the ultrasound, we were pretty certain we knew what we were having. All until...I asked the tech to use an arrow to point out the "parts" on the picture she had written on and she said, "I didn't do that because it is pretty obvious."

We immediately took the picture over to our friends, the Freemans, who would be in charge of getting the cake made. A few weeks later, with cake on board, we made the drive up to Ohio to find out if we were having a Jaycee or a Jayden.

Our hostess with the cake...our future is inside!!!

Is the balloon behind us a sign of things to come???

Getting ready to cut the cake...the anticipation was almost too much...

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!!!!

And this, my friends, is a picture of a very happy daddy!

What a special time...I will always remember the day that I found out that I had been chosen to be the mother of Jayden Aaron Hull. We are beyond excited & can't wait to meet him!!!!
