Today was the big day! My spouse and I attended a reveal party to learn the gender of our upcoming great grandchild. I'm happy to report that my fruit salad was very well received. Guests from all sides of the family also enjoyed the apple pie we provided.
We didn't play any games, that will come later at the shower, but we were each given a frosted cake lollypop to bite into at the given time.
Before that, when we first came into the dining area, we were instructed to take and wear a beaded necklace, either pink or blue, to show our guess. The necklaces were pretty evenly divided. I chose blue.
I was surprised to learn that my grandson and his wife also didn't know the answer to the big question. When they had their most recent sonogram two days ago, they had deliberately asked the tech to write the gender down, put it in an envelope, which they then gave to a friend so the friend could create the cake lollypops with the correct cake color.
The cake was blue so now we all know....it's a BOY. I'm not sure if I like knowing the gender before the birth. Call me old fashioned, I rather liked being surprised. But it will make gift shopping easier. When asked where they are registered the answer was Amazon. My spouse was very pleased. He loves ordering things on line.
They have already named their son, his initials will be M. J. I'm not too crazy about the first name they have chosen so I may always call him M. J. He isn't due until March 10. They have plenty of time to think about names, but I will love him no matter what.
The happy couple with their lollypops.
