Love you babe!

Our, what was supposed to be, little cut of the cake party was a success! Marien Rios did an awesome job with the cake. She made a white cake with a question mark on top of it and the inside of cake dyed in blue. As soon as Bryan and I sliced the cake and saw the blue  we were both super excited to finally know that we were going to have a baby boy… my hands were shaking from the excitement, lol! Since Jenny and Van couldn’t make it we had them watching us live through Skype, even though Priscilla had to tell Jenny what the sex was because everyone was shouting and crowded around the cake. Oh, we also had another special surprise that day. Originally the Girados had told me that they were not able to make it to the “gender/sex cake party,” but they drove down from Estero to surprise us (well me because Bryan was in on it)!! It really was a great surprise.

So now Ethan is 33 weeks and is getting big! On January 12th we had an ultrasound appointment and we were able to see our growing baby boy! And yes, he is confirmed once again that he is a boy.   Here are some profile pics of our Ethan from the ultrasound:

The proof is in the pudding:

Yup,  we don’t know what the sex of our baby is yet. Why, you ask? Not because the baby’s legs weren’t open, but because the baby’s sex is safely tucked away in a sealed envelope along with a picture of it’s “pipi.” We will be giving this envelope to our friend Marien who will be baking a cake. The inside of the cake will be either a pink or blue-ish color. The outside of the cake will be white (fondant) with some question marks on top of it.

This Saturday (October 10th, 2009) Bryan and I, along with a group of our family and friends, will be cutting the cake to reveal the sex of our baby. So, we will all be finding out at the same time! My ingenious husband came up with this plan, and has had  me in an anxious state since about noon yesterday. He is due for a giant stye in the eye. In fact this might be reason for dual styes, one in each eye. Kidding , I love him.

Oh! Before I forget, leave me comments of what you think the baby’s sex is going to be. We want to put everyone’s predictions on a poster board or frame.

P.S. Jenny & Jessica we will be broadcasting live via SKYPE. Do it.

Everyone else can go to http://www.livestream.com/nbphotographix where we will be Webcasting the Baby Gender Party live at around 11:30-12:30 on Saturday Morning.

Here are some pics of the baby from Monday’s sonogram (baby NB at 19 weeks):

Tuesday, July 28th, was our first prenatal appointment. It was very exciting to be able to see our little baby that is growing inside of me. Even a little relieving.. Bryan and I both walked out of the doctor’s office with huge smiles on our faces that probably didn’t go away the whole day.

Below is our first sonogram of our little baby:

The Girado’s made the cutest video for us announcing the “Good News!!” I hope you enjoy it as much as Bryan and I have!!

Happy Mother’s Day to all you mothers out there!

Last night we had a small photo shoot with my family in our studio. The shoot consisted of my mom (dah), my dad, mimi, jenny, van, bryan and me.. oh, and Kacey too. Soon I’ll post up some pics of our Mother’s day shoot. I think they came out fantastical… we all got really dressed up, it felt like we were taking pics during Captain’s night on a cruise, lol!

Have a blessed day.
