Tonight we went to Chris and Janelle's gender reveal party. We were super excited to find out what they were having. We were all anticipating the cutting of the cake. Janelle and Chris had the ultrasound tech write down the gender on a piece of paper and seal it in an envelope. Janelle took the envelope to a baker. The baker dyed the icing on the inside of the cake the color that matched the gender. When they cut the cake we saw that the icing was BLUE!!!
During the party Arden kept coming at me with all of her questions!!!!
Her: "When are we going to cut the cake so we can see the baby?"
Me: "The baby isn't in the cake. It's in Janelle's tummy. We will just see pink or blue to tell us if it's a boy or girl."
Then she was hit with a realization. In a worried tone and a horrified expression, "How will the baby come out if there's no holes in tummies?!?!?!?!"
Me: "The doctor helps the baby come out of the tummy."
Her: Almost in tears, "I don't want to ever have babies! It will hurt so so bad!
After she had cake and was calmed down again, "Are we going to open Janelle's tummy now?"
Oy. Should have stuck with the stork story.
Haha she and Annabel are so much alike! I told Annabel the basics of having babies. She took the baby being born part in stride. But the part about how the baby gets there...her response was, "Oh I'm never getting married then."
