Gender Reveal!!! Baby #5

So, for the last few weeks Austin and I have been trying to decide how we want to tell the kids what the gender of their newest sibling would be. Finally, we came up with the idea of having them each smash a cake in Daddy's face that has filling color of the gender (pink or blue). Okay, so it was definitely more of my idea then Austin's but he was a great sport about it. During the actual ultra sound appointment, we brought the kids and told the tech to only tell Austin and I by writing the correct Chromosome sequence on the screen. When we saw it Austin looked right at me and we both danced, yelled, squealed, and celebrated with our eyes. We couldn't wait to tell the kids!

A few days later Austin ran to the store and got the correct color of filling. He made the cakes and we told any family who wanted to come would be welcome to join in the fun. Here is what the finished cakes looked like. Great job babe! 

Here we all are ready to smash some cakes! The kids were so excited. They asked every day that week if "today was the day they get to hit Daddy with a cake!" Let the smashing begin! We started youngest to oldest and also only put the color in one of the cakes, but they didn't know that! Oakley was so excited she couldn't wait! She kept grabbing at her cake. Then...................................

when she finally smashed it she was so devastated!! She cried and cried and cried. No, she screamed and screamed and screamed. I could't tell if she was sad from her cake getting ruined or from her thinking Daddy was getting hurt. See, look at that face! It was so sad. Each time one of the kids took their turn she called out Daddy's name and cried again. HAHA It was ADORABLE!

Here are the other three taking their turns. Isaac's was the last one and his was filled with....................

 

BLUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yep!!!! We are having another boy!!! Sweet baby Heath number 5 is a boy and he will be such a sweet baby brother. We haven't had a boy in 6 years nor have we knew we were having a boy in 8 years!!! (We didn't find out what Andrew was) The kids were so excited and they said they knew it from the start. Oh yeah, and apparently I don't give my kids enough sugar because they were eating the cake that had fallen from Austin's face off of the floor. -Grouse- Oh well, I didn't stop them, I guess I didn't mind that much.

After the reveal I helped Daddy smear the blue around a little more. You know, because he didn't have enough on his face already. AWE HA! And look Andrew was caught in the act of stealing and eating.  Guilty!

The final look! This is one excited Daddy! Sweet Baby Boy....WE CAN'T WAIT TO MEET YOU!!

Here is some good news too! Both Sereen and Kadi are pregnant with me! Hooray for cousins close together!!! Sereen was 29 weeks here, I was 20, and Kadi was 5!! Yipee!!!!! So glad we are all going through it together!

Here are all those who came to celebrate with us!! We love having family so close and so supportive!
