The Sealed Non-See-Through Envelope

This envelope is still sitting on our table staring at us. Unopened. Not knowing the fate of its life.


Scott wants to be surprised. His reasoning is that it was the best part of my labor last time. He is right about that point. It was pretty cool.

I want to find out. I think. If I end up having a c-section again I think this will be a fun way to break up the pregnancy. And inspired by this picture I thought it would be fun to have a party with the best fall foods with our favorite family and friends and open the box and see the balloons come floating out revealing the next face of our future family. Will there be pig tails or a fort-building little brother for Cashey? (Please note: I hope if it is a sister she will also want to build forts with Cash too though. All kids should build forts no matter the gender.) 

If we decide to open it, Scott says he would like to go have an intimate dinner with the two of us and open the envelope.  Hmmmm? Not quite what I had in mind...

Ah, the woes of an extrovert/introvert union. What will we do with ourselves?

Anyway, of course I will keep you all posted on what the final verdict is if we ever come to a compromise.

Until then, I will continue to ignore the envelope and the little piece of paper inside stating boy or girl.
