A Cookie Secret

So I went this week to my OB and the sonographer wanted to "take a peek" so we could know if we're growing a little girl or a little boy. (I am at 17.5 weeks today.) I brought 2 boxes of cookies....one with pink cookies and one with blue cookies and had Janet, the sonographer, send me home with the correct box of cookies. And I will have you know I did not even try to peek before the big moment with Jason and Grant. :)

Here are Daddy and Grant discussing the whole plan. If the cookies are pink you're getting a sister and if the cookies are blue you're getting a brother.

Grant insisted the whole time that the cookies are pink and he wanted a "guwl."

But he was all smiles when the BLUE cookies came out and he was so good and understood immediately that meant he was getting a brother. He keeps asking us when his brother is coming. :)


Cheers to our newest little man! So excited for these 2 boys to be the best of friends!


And even more importantly than all this fun stuff was that the baby looked great. He is active with a strong heartbeat and all looks to be in order. They took NINE vials of blood from me and are running lots of tests to check on things. I won't get those results back for another week but we were thrilled that the baby looks so good and healthy!

How wonderful!!

First of all, thankful all appears well with baby on the sonogram -- hope you are feeling okay, too? Glad good eyes are on you throughout this pregnancy, Lindsay.

Your "cookie secret" is a WONDERFUL way to share the surprise with both Jason and Grant! Glad the little guy cooperated ;) I had to share this "cookie secret" with my department (they are wondering if Janet and co-workers are now munching on pink cookies !! ) All are impressed :)

Congratulations, so happy for all of you!
