The Best Cupcake I've Ever Eaten...

K & B went to the doctor yesterday morning and found out they were having a healthy little...

Now hold your horses!  You're going to have to find out like the rest of us did. :)


 Last night I experienced my first "gender reveal party," and it was awesome! :)


 Inside each of these cupcakes was either blue or pink frosting announcing the gender of sweet Baby L.


 What will it be?


 Baby girl?


 Or baby boy?


 Share Share's stoic guess...girl.


 My guess...girl.


 J says girl, and P (not pictured :)) said girl.  Whenever asked, P would say that the baby was going to be a girl.  How can you argue with that?  Maybe he can sense things...


 Papa (the man with 4 sisters and 2 daughters) thinks it's gonna be another girl...


 B's mom (Lolli) says girl.  B's dad (Pop) says boy...
(Also pictured on the iPad is B's sister and her family who live in Nepal.  How cool is technology!?)


 Group shot.  All pink plates except for B's dad.
 (B's mom is holding her iPhone with B's other sister and her family joining in the festivities from outside of Austin.  So fun!)


 Big bites...


 My mom now knows... :)


 Mom's starting to react...
Dad now knows...
My bite didn't reveal an icing color!!!  I had to pull it apart to find out! :)


 LOVE K and B's reactions in this picture...and of course B's mom's face is priceless!


 B's dad was the ONLY ONE who got it right!
IT'S A BOY!!!


 He's very proud of himself. :)


 So excited!  My parents' sweet neighbors came down to take pictures for us, and I'm so glad they did!


 Excitement.


 K confirming that it's a boy...


 So happy. :)


 There was fist pumping...


 Hugs and dancing...


 Laughing and tears...


 Inappropriate amounts of clapping... :)


 And more hugging...


 This is me telling my dad that now he's going to have to buy 2 fishing poles...

The night before we went to the doctor to find out what we were going to have, my dad said that if it was a boy, he was going to have to go and buy a fishing pole...so when I called him to tell him it was a boy, I told him by saying that he was going to have to go and buy a fishing pole.  I think he was in disbelief after having 4 younger sisters and 2 girls of his own to find out his first grandson was going to be a boy.  Now he's gonna have 2! :)


 The winner with his blue-filled cupcake. :)


 The grandmas were SO excited! :)


 But let's be real about things...we had to stop for a moment and actually enjoy the cupcakes.  I mean, we had to.  In fact, I was so excited that I might have had to eat more than one cupcake.  The number of cupcakes consumed was directly proportional to the amount of excitement felt.  Eating two cupcakes was the least I could do...


 The best cupcake I've ever eaten. :)


 The parents-to-be.

Already looking at baby boy nursery stuff...


 Opening baby boy presents...bring on the blue! :)


Here's the beautiful mama proudly holding pictures of her Baby Boy! :)


It was SO WONDERFUL to get to find that out with the grandparents and the aunts and uncles and cousins...it was like Christmas morning. :)  Of course, we are so thankful for a healthy baby, but I must admit, knowing that P is going to have a little boy cousin to run around with just warms my heart!!!  I can't wait for all of the adventures they are going to have together. :)

We love you already, sweet baby boy!  You keep on cookin' in there, and we'll anxiously await your arrival in August.
