B is for Boy, G is for Girl

There is something about starting your day off knowing that you are going to find out big news. Nerves are going through the body, but mostly excitement. We are on the way to the gender reveal party and we are so excited. We all meet at my moms house and my mom fixes a great big breakfast and of course since this is the Sunday after Thanksgiving - she went above and beyond! But hey, we are the Keyser's, Price's and Herbert's - we like to eat! 

Robin drops off the cake and it is better than I had even thought it could be. "Baby Herbie - He or She?" I mean, come on! It does not get any better than that! Both families are there which I do not think has happened since we got married so it was nice to have everyone together. The Herbert's are super excited since this is their first and my mom is probably just as excited and it's her eighth grand kid!

The time has come to cut the cake and I am shaking like a leaf. We use the same knife that we used to cut our wedding cake, ahhh we are so cute! One slice in the cake. Nothing is indicating either way if there is blue or pink frosting in this cake. I am still shaking and Steve is standing right next to me with a big smile on his face. Next slice in, still nothing. I know have to take the piece out to find out what the frosting is. The anticipation is too much!!! The newphews are jumping up and down - they have NO idea what is going on. I pull out the cake and there it is. PINK frosting! We are having a girl!! Everyone hugs and cheers! Jacob comes up to me and says, "Andi, How do you know it's going to be a girl?" The nephews still have no idea what is going on but they are just as excited!

So there you have it .... we are having a girl. I cannot believe we are having a girl. Later that night, Steve looks at me and tells me how excited he is to be having a little girl. Daddy's little girl ... that is what she is going to be. The next morning we wake up and Steve turns and says, "How are my girls doing?" Its official. Baby Herbie is a little girl!
