IT'S A ... (part 2)

If you haven't already, go read Part 1 of this post first. Do it now.

Sorry to have done that to you, but this part of the story deserved it's fair share of space. So, let's continue...it's Sunday, and Bob goes to get the envelope off the fridge...and I tell him to open it. But he announces, a bit too gleefully I realize in retrospect, that "Karen should open it." Okay, fine, I am the mama. So we settle in, allow my mom and sisters to get the three cameras ready, and I open the envelope.

The day after the envelope went on the fridge, he made a master switch and replaced it with a fake. Usually I know when he is up to no good because he inadvertently gives away little clues, but this one he managed to pull off quite nicely. So here we sit, moments after the big reveal, and all I have in my hand is a piece of Mazda note paper with a question mark on it! He thought this was hilarious.

After he had laughed and laughed at me, he retrieved the real envelope, and I had to get my bearings to start this nerve-wracking process all over again. This is how well he matched the two envelopes:

So once again I opened an envelope, and more cautiously this time I peered inside. What could it be? It was either going to be boy or girl, as Lisa said - it's not like I was going to give birth to one of the seven drarfs! And good news, this one had an actual answer inside:

As the note said...

It's a oooooo BOY!!
