| MM dropped the cake |
Our friends and family started arriving around 1pm. We visited for awhile while MM and my dad got the grills ready and then prepared the food. We finally sat down to eat around 3. By then I was getting text messages and phone calls like crazy from people wanting to know if we'd cut the cake yet. Y'all are impatient.
Around 4, we got the cake out of the fridge and gathered around while MM cut it. He put the knife in and pulled it out...it was totally clean. We all laughed and MM continued to cut a piece. He pulled it out and...he dropped it! The look on his face was priceless.
Eventually he got the piece picked up and turned to show us...STRAWBERRIES!
Poor MM was heartbroken. He really, really wanted a boy. I know he'll love the baby no matter what, but it's going to take him a little while to realize that. My girlfriend asked me if it hurt my feelings that MM wasn't crazy excited. No. I'm not bothered at all. MM is going to be an amazing dad to this little girl. If he needs a little while to mourn the son he'll never have, well...I'm ok with that.
Of course that was a week ago and MM has had time to adjust. I think he'll always be a little sad about not having a boy. He's made peace with it, however, and he's starting to embrace it. The other night he was shopping for pink camo bedding on the Cabela's website. heh.

Awww! Congrats! Little girls are the best, but I'd have been a little disappointed (scratch that, devastated for a hot second) if I'd have had a boy instead of the girl I'd always wanted. Now, I can't wait to see what your new family member looks like...can't you have that baby early? :)
Awww congrats sweetie! You're going to have another gorgeous baby girl! Poor MM but still, he's going to spoil that girl so bad!
Congrats!
Congratulation! Wow! I'd never attend a sex party..although seems like so much fun..I would like to be on a sex party in the near future. Thanks for sharing wonderful thoughts. Keep it coming. I bookmarked your site.
@Scooper - I WISH!
@Ween - he's going to be SO cute with her.
@Dana - Hi! thanks for visiting. The sex party was a blast. Our friends and family really got a kick out of telling people, too. ;)
Congrats Holly!!! I think that little girl is going to have her Daddy MM wrapped around her little finger :-)
Congrats! (again! :)) I understand MM - it'll take time, but he'll adjust.
I remember when I had my amnio with my second. I was POSITIVE that I was having a boy and nothing could convince me otherwise. Um, except the doc when he called and said it was a girl. I actually asked him if he was sure! lol
She'll have him wrapped around her little finger in no time. :)
Congrats! What a fun way to tell everyone the baby's sex. I've never heard of that before.
Well, MM has a few months to get used to the idea. Once he holds her, he'll be a goner.
Pink camo huh? She's be his little kick-ass Princess. :)
Congrats!
I am so very delighted for you both! You will have a blast. I know my hubby was determined that our first baby was a boy (we had to wait until delivery to find out in those days), and he was truly crestfallen when he was told it was a girl. (I'm not sure he was so crestfallen as he was totally out of his mind with fatigue at 1:45 AM). However, I will never forget the look of having been punched in the face the first time he saw her. It was like love at first sight and in all the years since, he has felt exactly the same way about all three of our daughters. Of course, eventually having a boy didn't hurt, but his daddy-love for his girls is still just a intense as ever. I am keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
Congratulations Holly!! Woohooo :) Girl power in the house!! :) As for MM, perhaps the next baby will be a boy :P
Pink camo LOL...
