Gender Reveal!! Baby Stoneking #2 Is A…

Uncategorized

January 25, 2013

I’ve made you wait long enough, haven’t I? My apologies for the long overdue post since we have known for  a week now, yet I had to wait for snail mail to be delivered to some very important people before proclaiming the good news.
I wanted to do something a bit different this go around rather than the traditional gender reveal party, which we did for Caroline. There are so many fun ideas floating around the internet that I eventually stumbled across an idea that was easier to accomplish so we could mail to friends and family who live out of town.
I found Lindsay at Inklings Paperie on Etsy and thought she had the cutest idea…scratch off cards for a gender reveal that said “What Will It Bee?”

I mailed these in envelopes with handwritten notes to those out of towners and then for loved ones in Nashville, I dropped them off in their mailboxes with shortbread cookies in the shape of bees from another fabulous Etsy shop, Stephanie J’s Creations.

And without further adieu (drumroll please), joining our family in June,
Baby Stoneking #2 is a….GIRL! 
(Look at the excitement on Caroline’s face! haha)
It was plain as day at the ultrasound that we are having another darling girl. Jeff said he knew it from the moment we started seeing her on the screen…her legs were crossed and she was WAY active, but as soon as she rolled over, it was clear that more pink, bows, dresses, and fun are in our future. We had the biggest smiles on our faces as we both know this is going to be an exciting adventure for not only us, but more importantly for Caroline. I hope they will be the best of friends and I cannot wait to see her with a little sister. I can’t lie, as much as I know Jeff would love to have a boy, I can’t help but get happy thinking about my 2 girls in matching outfits, playing tea party together, growing up so close in age, and all the other fun moments we have to look forward to.
From our family, thank you so very much for all your well wishes and prayers… we are happy for what’s to come and to we look forward to sharing this journey with you.
