It's A Boy!!!

So, I realized that I missed blogging about a huge event in our lives. A few weeks ago we found out that we are having a B-O-Y! Before finding out this news, neither Scott nor I cared whether we had a boy or a girl. We had often thought that we would end up with a house full of girls. In fact, when we were putting the nursery together for Bailey, I often thought it was silly that we were making it neutral. In my mind, we were going to have girls.

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.

A "Kodak" moment!

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!
