Sometimes Being Wrong Feels Right

Even though this picture is super blurry, I love it. This is the moment right after my mom cut the cake and said,

“OH, MY GOSH. SERIOUSLY?!”

She could see the inside of the cake perfectly, but nobody else could and there was a beat when nobody else knew what she meant with her shocked comment. Then, she lifted her arm up and said that we’re having a girl. Everyone cheered and clapped and then shouted if they were right!

I love this picture because you can see my older brother, Phil, grinning in the background. Isn’t he cute? I also love this picture becuase my mom’s smile, although blurry, is pure happiness. Plus, look at my cousin, Cora, she’s right up there with her camera capturing the moment. She’s a better photographer, so her moment is probably not blurry.

The blurriness of the photo can remind me that I was too busy reeling from the excitment to make sure my camera was focused. I really love this blurry photo.

Baby Cake

We’ve baked a cake that is either PINK or BLUE on the inside. In a couple hours family members will cut it open to reveal HBaby’s gender. The anticipation makes Sydney really nervous. She made her guess on the HB poll. Did you?

Polls close at noon sharp, so get crackin’!

Thanksgiving reveal to come later, my friends.
