Is it a He or a She?

On Feb. 7th- one week from tomorrow- we will know for sure if Baby Nickles is a boy or a girl. The waiting has been excruciating! We have decided that even though the doctors appointment is early in the morning, we will wait until the entire family is gathered (via Skype) later that night to find out the gender. It will be a whole lot more fun that way!

So, how are we pulling it off you ask? How will we go the entire day not knowing the gender?

Well, we are going to ask the ultrasound technician to write down the gender on a notecard and put it in an envelope instead of telling us aloud. Then I will take the notecard with me to the mall to shop for one boy outfit and one girl outfit. (Stephen wasn't really interested in shopping, so he will be heading back to work) After the two outfits have been selected, I will ask a nice sales person to look at the notecard and pick out which outfit suites the gender. She will box the outfit up out of my sight. I will take the box home, wrap it and then we will open the box up with everyone watching later during the gender reveal party!

Oh, here is the cute evite I sent out to the family for our Skype gender reveal party.
