Scott didn’t want to find out what we were having, so
like a good wife, I compromised. We had the ultrasound tech write the gender on
a card and stick it in a sealed envelope. The envelope sat in our house for a
week and a half before we took it to a bakery. I had Scott hide the envelope
from me, because I didn’t trust myself. (I was always the kid looking for my
Christmas gifts!)
We got a Litty’s ho-ho cake (YUM!) and had our families over
for the revealing. The inside icing would be blue if it was a boy and pink if
it was a girl. Before we cut the cake, we had everyone take a pink napkin if
they thought it was a girl and an orange napkin if they thought it was a boy.
Needless to say, almost everyone took an orange napkin, so we have a lot of
good guessers in our families.
When I cut the cake and saw the blue, I may have gone a
little ballistic. I think it was because I never imagined having a boy. I know
that you can’t determine these things, but I think that’s why I was so shocked
and extremely excited.
I am excited to share the adventure of raising boys with my
sister. I am even more excited to watch Scott with a son. Though he has a special
relationship with Bailey, there is always something special about a father-son
relationship too - just like I enjoy having a special mother-daughter
relationship with Bailey.
We feel very blessed with how God is blessing our
family, and the Miller name lives on!
