We are having a...........

I knew right from the moment I found out I was pregnant (if not before) that I wanted to know the gender of the baby.  I am not very good with surprises and just wanted to KNOW what we were having.  SO the next decision was HOW would we find out??? I hated the idea of being told in the clinical 'scan room' by someone I barely knew.......we both agreed that would take away the magic!  So we decided to look across the pond to get some ideas.........

Coloured balloons is a SUPER CUTE way to reveal the gender! See more pics here

Cut into to the cake...what colour will it be?

Fortune cookies..GENUIS! 

All of these were fantastic ideas, however, I couldn't bear the idea of someone else knowing the gender of the baby and not US (plus to be HONEST I couldn't be bothered with all the organising)....so we decided we would keep it simple.  My husband printed BOY or GIRL onto card and we asked the woman who was carrying out the scan to circle the gender and put it into a sealed envelope.  
"What do you want me to do?????" was her reply....obviously the FIRST time she had ever heard of anything like this before.....after explaining she agreed although I think she thought we were BONKERS..

We are over the moon and obviously know this is not 100% accurate but the shopping has already begun!
