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.
Baby Stoneking #2 is a….GIRL!
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.
Congrats!!!!
I absolutely LOVE the scratch off idea! And those cookies!!!
Congratulations on baby girl #2. I couldn't think of a more perfect addition for the Stonekings! So when do we find out the name?! đ
