Check it out. We're having a baby!
And it's a boy. Phew!
If you haven't seen this kind of baby cake before, I'm sure you'll see lots more. I'm so on trend :P Thanks to my cousin Libby's suggestion, we asked the ultrasound tech to write the baby's sex on a slip on paper and seal it in the envelope. Then we gave the envelope to a baker and instructed him to tint the cake's filling either blue or pink depending on the note. The outside of the cake was supposed to be all white. In reality, I opened the cake box to find a pale pink rose in the center. I almost freaked out. But then I figured he probably just had a bunch of roses sitting nearby and stuck one on for pretties. E's dad was in town for the weekend, so we had a little cake cutting party with my parents on the Tango so we could all find out together. Then I stuffed my face with cake. I have an excuse. And Gimmee Jimmies has THE BEST icing (a mix between buttercream and whipped cream, ultra fluffy and barely sweet. Ask for the white cupcake icing if you order from them!). I stuck a big wedge of cake in the freezer so we can eat it in March on baby homecoming day. I'm so lame.
p.s. I think my point and shoot is on its last legs. All of my photos are coming out with grainy stripes.
Time to start SLR shopping! Any suggestions people?

OMG, that is soooo exciting :)))

I bought a Nikon D3000 this spring, because I found a good offer, I'm quite happy with it, it's simple to use and makes excellent photos.
Congratulations! I love the cake idea :)
A really cute idea for announcing your pregnancy and sharing the sex with those important and close to you. I would so be saving a piece for the baby's arrival too.
Congratulations on the baby! Yay! I have a Sony a230 because it was pretty much the cheapest dSLR out there. But I've been quite happy with it!
Aww..Congrats!
Beautiful cake..
