- The big reveal

Retrospective (12/19)

Patch #335 First girl

Original Post

We first got the news on August 19

but I was asked not to say anything, so I just stitched pale pastels to remember the day.

Then this past Monday, official word was received. With Meg's birthday just two days away, she requested a special vanilla vanilla cake (her long-time favorite first documented here

http://imgoingtotexas.blogspot.com/2009/08/double-pleasure-double-fun.html).

So the candles were carefully placed with G's assistance: 

"M" for Mommy/Meghan ...

then lit (with a serious flame-thrower) ...

sung over ...

and blown out. 

But it was G doing the wishing ...

because he had been told that the cake would reveal whether he will be having a baby brother or a baby sister ...

and he discovered ...

there was pink icing inside ...

Wish granted! A new baby sister will be arriving in April.
