I have discovered that I really can't do anything easily. I must go down the path of the most complications possible! Finding out the gender of the baby was no exception! I decided to have a gender party.With most gender parties, the parents already know the gender, not me though, I wanted to find out with everyone else!
Here is the process: Early in the week I went to Lunds and ordered a dozen cupcakes with frosting filling, with instructions that I would be dropping off an envelope with the gender in it on Thursday (the baker was actually really excited to be involved!) and that the frosting filling should be the color of the gender (pink/blue.) At the ultrasound, we told the ultrasound tech to write down the gender and put it in an envelope. (I should note that the baby was so active that she wasn't comletely sure what the gender was, but since everyone was coming over, we said, just write something down!)
After the ultrasound, I went straight to Lunds and dropped off the envelope (in order to avoid any temptation to look!) I also ordered cupcakes for my mom in Vancouver, WA and for Scott's Aunt Leslie and Uncle Paul in Cedarburg, WI (again, pre-ordered and the baker at Lunds was lovely enough to offer to call the two bakeries and provide the gender.)
After 3 long days of waiting, Saturday night came! And we are having a... girl! Her name will be Charlotte Sands Johnson (Sands is after Scott's Grandpas sur name.)
(It's hard to tell, but the middle of the cupcake is pink frosting.)
I should note that we had a follow up ultrasound (as the tech also couldn't see one of the kidneys) and she confirmed the gender as a girl (and she does have two kidneys!)
