Our Little Blue Angel

I love surprising people. When we were scheduling the ultra sound apt to find out the gender, I knew exactly when I wanted it to be, and luckily it was available. Friday, October 5th, 8:30 am (none of this waiting around all day stuff). I knew that weekend was Fleet Week and also Conference, meaning we would for sure see both families and I wanted to surprise them in person with the news. We told everyone we were finding out the following Tues to throw everyone off. It totally worked. So on Friday morning, the dilemma presented itself...WHAT DO I WEAR??? If I wore pink, it would mean I wanted a girl, if I wore blue it meant I wanted a boy, and if I wore another color, it would mean I wasn't supporting our child. I know, I know, only I think this way and it drives Dave CRAZY! Being the good sport he is, he agreed to wear blue and I wore pink, that way whatever the gender, I felt like we were being good, supportive parents. Yikes, typing that out makes me realize how lame that sounds. Oh well. Here we are, the dorks that we are. Don't worry, we dressed this way when we found out with Audrey too.
October 5th, 18 weeksIt was a long day, hence the terrible picture of us.

On Saturday Dave's family came to San Francisco to watch Fleet Week. The best part of Fleet Week is when the Blue Angels fly. They are amazing to watch. They were SO loud, so smart Marianne brought ear phones for Audrey and Nathan. Where where those ear phones the three days before when Audrey couldn't nap because they were practicing and kept her awake? I can not believe how loud they are. Shake the glass in the windows, loud.Audrey was practicing her big sister skills by helping Fafa cover his ears.After the air show we came back to our apt and told our good news. We had Audrey bring a box to Marianne (Dave's mom)and we told her that Audrey had made her something. Inside the box a card saying, "Our Little Blue Angel" with a picture of our little baby boy's profile. At the bottom of the sign clever Dave wrote, "Waring: May contain explicit content" and the inside of the card was the, "It's a boy!" picture with all his little boy parts exposed. Under the card was a cute boy outfit we had bought at Baby Gap that morning. Bruce and Marianne were a little confused, and then very surprised. It was perfect! We went to dinner and then Audrey was spoiled by her grandparents and got a new jacket, shirt and "hat". Thank you!Yeah! It's a boy!
Sunday morning we woke up and went to my family's house for Conference, and to see my mom who had foot surgery. My two sisters and brother-in-laws were there, so the surprise was going to be perfect. I totally love this kind of stuff. So lame, I know. Anyway, after the morning session of Conference we had Audrey bring my mom a box and we did the same thing we did for Dave's family. Everyone was totally surprised, I LOVED it! I am sad we didn't get a picture of everyone together, but here is a picture of our little family with the card.I love our little blue angel, my big blue angel, and my spunky little pink angel.
