Baby Blue Cake

The big argument in our house right now is whether this baby is a boy or a girl. MM and LM say it's a boy, while TG and I say it's a girl. Honesty, I don't really care one way or the other, but since MM wants a boy I say it's a girl to annoy him. We find out the sex on Tuesday.

A few weeks ago my dad was over and mentioned having read an article about a Gender Reveal Party - aka a Sex Party. The basic concept is this: The parents ask the doctor to print a picture of the sex and put it in a sealed envelop, without being told what it is. They then take it to a baker and ask them to bake a cake with either a blue center or a pink center, depending on what the picture shows. Then the parents invite their friends and family over for a party. At the end of the evening, they cut open the cake and everyone finds out together what the sex is, including the parents.

I thought it sounded kind of cute, but didn't think it was for us. Apparently MM didn't agree. Last week I let him talk me into having one of these. I don't quite know how it happened, but there you have it. I honestly didn't think he'd be able to wait to find out. I guess I was wrong. So on Saturday, we've invited about 50 people over and we're all going to find out together what the sex of our baby is. You should have seen some of the responses I got when I sent out invites to a Sex Party.

Since then we've been having very heated debates over what the sex is. I say it's a girl while MM is very firm in his belief (ha, understatement) that it's a boy. He's taken to calling it Baby Blue Cake, because that's what he's sure we're going to see at the party. He's such a crackhead.

What do you think? Baby Blue Cake or Baby Pink Cake?
