Boy or Girl?

First of all, all credit for this idea goes to my sister, Tami. She did this with her daughter, and I thought it would be a fun way to tell the kids and all of you if we're having a boy or a girl.

I made a Jello Poke Cake, but did I use blue jello or red jello? The kids wouldn't know until I cut into it and pulled out a piece...






It's BLUE!

p.s. I just told my kids, and Sylas has some name suggestions:'

1. Jack Jack
2. Slap Jack
3. Joe Joe
4. Ogre

Think about it.

Congratulations, Orton Family! We're so excited for you! You're right on the same pattern we followed - boy, girl, boy...
Next time I get pregnant I'm going to use that cute "tell the kids" idea! I hope they have jello in heaven!

Marianne said...

I'm due August 26th. I know, middle of the heat. I'm just glad to have a baby in a time when I can go outside and not worry about him being too cold.
