And the results are in!

We had our anatomy scan on the 27th, and had the ultrasound tech put the gender results in an envelope. Mr. Olive took the envelope to our local bakery and had them bake a cake with either pink or blue frosting depending on what the envelope contained.

We had our immediate families and a few close friends over for a barbecue today, and cut into the cake:




OliveBaby is a boy!

We'd have been happy either way, but I was really starting to think it was a girl, because so many people were convinced and I figured, "They'll probably be right!"

Will post more later; exhausted from a great weekend. :)

Anatomy scan!

We went this past Tuesday for our anatomy scan. OliveBaby appears to have 2 legs, 2 arms, kidneys, a 4-chamber heart and all the rest of that necessary stuff. Of course, the little stinker wouldn't roll over and show it's face, so we know it's got OlivePapa's personality. ;) This also meant no creepy 20-week face shot. :)

Everyone is DYING to know if OliveBaby is a girl or a boy. Well, we've got that information in a sealed envelope, and we're taking it to a bakery this week and handing it over. We're going to have them do either pink or blue cake inside, with green on the outside, and we'll cut it and serve it to our family, so that everyone finds out together. :) That will happen a week from today! (Yikes, time flies!!!)

Also, I'm at work today, a Sunday, which totally suck. But OliveBaby is kickin' away and making me smile from ear to ear. :)

Houston, we have kick-off!

So I'm sitting at my desk today, having an absolutely horrible day, and I feel this light jab in my belly. Definitely an OliveBaby kick. :) S/he was all, "Hey Mom, it's okay!" I'm grinning ear to ear like a total fool.

I also ordered a baby sling today off Mamabargains.com in this pattern:


And we scheduled our BIG u/s; we go in next Tuesday at 7:45 am. Which means we officially have less than a week to make a decision about finding out the gender.
