Gender Reveal Gathering

We had a few friends come over to our house a couple of weeks before Christmas. Hubby and I thought that this would be a great time to revel the gender of the baby.

We knew the gender for sometime because since I am age 35, I opted to get genetic disorder test done that checks for downs syndrome, etc. The new test is called MaterniT21 and is less evasive than having an amniocentesis or CVS test done. This test was just a simple blood draw. From that test, since it checked chromosomes anyway, they can also determine the sex, by seeing if a Y chromosome is present, thus making baby a boy.

We didn't tell our friends that we planned to reveal the gender when they came over. They didn't even know that we knew the gender already.



Everyone also wrote their guesess on the chalkboard. Yes, one of our friends guessed twins LOL



 I also made some lips and mustaches on a stick so everyone could pick their guess of the sex when they arrived.

(note: you can always click pictures to make them larger)

Eddie guessed twins so he has lips and a mustache lol

















So, I ordered some cupcakes with blue filling inside from HEB in Katy. Thus, after everyone ate dinner. They had to take a bite of the cupcake to see if there was pink or blue inside to find out if it was girl or boy.

 

 Say Cheese, Angie!!!! IT'S a BABY BOY!!!! :-)
