As many of you know I absolutely love Pinterest. It's like a haven for crafty people. So when I found out that I was pregnant I wanted to do so many fun and creative things that I found on Pinterest. One thing I wanted to do was find out the gender of the baby with Jeff in some creative way. I also thought it would be fun to have this moment caught on camera so we can look back on it. Look at all of these fun ideas:
Paint fight and you find out the gender when you throw the pain at each other-
Opening balloons together-
Cutting open a cake and candy falling out. Jeff's cousin did this and it was way cute!
So I pitched this idea to Jeff and his immediate response was, "No way! I won't be able to wait to find out!" So I made a compromise with him, isn't that what marriage is all about? :) He was going to surprise me with the gender of the baby. So he thought and though...and though some more. Then my wonderful husband came up with this great idea. Now, he gives full credit for the idea to God because he said he is really not this creative on his own! :)
First he pulled me up into the baby room:
He had my sister Lauren help him decorate a tissue box that he showed me. Then he showed me this video clip:
He told me that I had to pull out tissue paper out of this box to figure out the gender of the baby. Here are some pictures from this event:
Here's the video of this too:
Towards the end of the box there were only pink tissue paper pieces in the box. I thought Jeff hid something in the bottom of the box so I kept pulling them out...that's how clueless I am sometimes!
Tillie was also in the room with us and she was quite happy that she would have a girl cousin to play with!
The aftermath of playing this game:
I must say that I am incredibly blessed to have such a wonderful husband that put so much time and effort into making this a special experience for me!
Yay! We're having a girl! :)
