BABY JUMPING IS A ...

BOY!!!

 

I'm honestly still in shock.

I guess I convinced myself I was carrying a girl, so when I saw that blue icing inside, I was very, very surprised! 

 

I think its fair to say the nub theory is maybe not as sound as I had thought it to be...

 

Needless to say, we are all thrilled and can't wait to meet this little guy in July!

 

Now onto party details!

 

Our gender reveal party was SO MUCH FUN!

 

We decided once everyone arrived, to have them vote either Team Boy or Team Girl.

 

To help them make a decision, I had printed off a list of Old Wives tales and my answers.

Of the 20 questions, my answers came back:

Girl = 15

Boy = 2

Inconclusive = 3

 

With those answers and their own predictions in mind, the votes came back 9:5 in favour of Team Boy.

 

 

And then we got to eating...

 

 

 

Before:

 

 

In perhaps a twist of fate, the three of us coincidentally grabbed blue cupcakes...

 

During:

 

After:

 

Oh and at the very moment we found out, my adorable sister cued up this song:

 

 

She said if it had been pink icing she would have played:

 

 

Like I said, she's adorable.

 

 

BOY OH BOY!!!

 

 

It was such a fun night and great way for us to share the news with our families.

Now that we know what Baby Jumping is, we are so excited to finally be able to start planning, decorating and shopping for this special little guy.

30 Baby Things I Just Can't Handle Right Now...

With one day to go before Baby Jumping’s gender is revealed, I have taken the time curate a small gallery of baby clothes that I frankly just can’t handle right now.

Ladies first:

 

 

 

And now little gents:

 

 
And of course gender neutrals:

 

 

Baby Gap and Old Navy should probably just take my pay cheques directly from now on, because really, who needs food when you have the toes of an adorably dressed baby to munch on all day?

Say What Now? - Edition Five

#1

Mommy: "I love you Quinn"
Quinn: "I love you too much Mawmy"
(insert the sound of my heart exploding)

 

#2

The other morning while snuggling on the bed before I left for work, Quinn put her arm around my neck and Simon's and said: "Family hug!"
(insert the sound of my heart AND Simon's exploding)

 

#3

While jumping off a jumbo package of toilet paper in my bedroom, Quinn shouts:
"Quinn's being silly upstairs Mawmy!"
Yes you are child. Yes you are...

#4

At a recent family dinner, Quinn was being held by my dad's brother, Uncle Tom.
Quinn: "Uncle Tom matches Grumpa."
Translation: Uncle Tom looks like Grumpa
My child is a genius.

#5

Quinn’s most prized possession, Baby Addie, had a dirty face so Quinn asked for a cloth.
While wiping her face Quinn said : “Oh Baby Addie, your face is all mucky!”


#6

We were told by her teachers that the other day in daycare a boy in her class threw his lunch on the ground. Apparently Quinn piped up and said “ Simao, you’re weird!”

She’s kinda right, I mean, who in their right mind would throw their tuna melt sandwich on the ground?

 

#7

While brushing her teeth the other night:

Quinn: “Where’s Baby Addie”

Mommy: “She was sleepy so she went to bed”
Quinn: “Yeah, she’s tired and toasty”
