Hi! I'm Caitlin, wife of James and mama of Maxwell. I am a proud USCG wife, former ballerina, photographer, and retail manager. Being a working mom isn't easy, and this blog gets {seriously} neglected now and then {most of the time}, but I keep up with it when I can.

A very cute idea!

I'm on the website Coastie Chicks a lot and a girl on there made a post this morning about how her friend decided to find out and announce the sex of their baby.

The couple went to the ultrasound appointment and had the tech write down the sex on a piece of paper and seal it up instead of telling them.  Then they took the piece of paper to a bakery and told them they wanted a cake made with white frosting and to make the inside of the cake blue if the paper said boy and pink if it said girl.  Then they took the cake home and had a little gathering of family and friends and cut the cake.  That way they could all find out together.

I thought this was such a cute idea!  How fun to have all your friends and family around when you find out what you're having!

  2. This is super cute. Do you think you'll do something like this?

    I've heard of people who were prego near Christmas having the technician putting the sex of the baby in an envelope and then they hang it on the Christmas tree and don't open it until Christmas day.

    There are so many cute things you could do! I feel like we're back in the days when you were planning the wedding. :D
