Oh the past two days have been soooo fun!
My husband and I took our kids on Thursday to my 16 week gender sonogram. I found a lady in Arlington, TX that I LOVE who does gender sonos at 16 weeks with 100% accuracy. For those of you that are super patient like myself, this is a great deal!! Her business is Ultraview Imaging and she is precious. For those of you local gals that are pregnant, you need to check her out!
Ashley revealed baby T to us last year using cupcakes. You can see her post HERE. My kids loved it! It was the best time!! They have asked since the beginning of this pregnancy if we could do the same. That brings us here.
My aunt Lolly offered to make the cupcakes. I had perfect intentions of doing this myself but when offered I quickly said YES PLEASE!
We had the sonogram lady tell us the gender without letting the kids know. They were going to be surprised with the cupcakes. This was actually easier than we thought it would be because 3 of my 4 children weren’t totally tuned in during the sono 🙂 I cried a bit and we were done. I texted Lolly with the results so she could get to working on the goods.
That was Thursday afternoon. I then had 1,578,749 calls from my 3 sisters begging me to cave and tell early. I stood my ground! The party was planned for today at 4.
We had so much fun! They decided to let my 3 oldest kiddos bite into the cupcakes first. Lolly recorded the whole thing on her Flip camera and you can see the video HERE! Be prepared… Big, loud family… That’s us!
It was a blast! My husband and I are so excited and the kids are too! Her cupcakes were the bomb and keeping them a secret for only 24 hours was the funniest part.
Oh… And for those of you that decided not to check out the video… Here is a quick shot of the cupcakes 🙂

Yep… That’s blue icing! That puts our score Girls 3 Boys 2… Love.
Congrats! Boys. I love ’em!
YAYYYYY!!! CONGRATS!!
What a blast!!! So excited to have another little boy in the family. Hoping we can keep it going one more time for Jennifer. I love our crazy family. I have watched the video about 10 times. I even went back and watched Ashley’s video again. So much LOVE and FUN in our family!!!
Congratulations! That was such a cute way to do it too. Maybe with our next. But I think it’s a little early for us to think about that right now with a almost 3 month old.
Congratulations! That’s a great way to involve the kids.
Congratulations! Have a great day!
How exciting! Congrats! What a cute idea. Your family is so fun!
Oh Sweetie…
Congratulations. I am so thrilled for you all. I loved the video, it
is priceless. The sonograms today are so wonderful for you
gals, they didn’t even do an ultrasound 35 years ago unless
they suspected a problem with the baby. I never knew until the
kids were born. I love it that you all can find out ahead of time.
How wonderful.
Have a wonderful weekend my friend, and congratulations on
your little Boy to be. Many hugs and much love, Sherry
I loved getting to be part of this!!! Can’t wait to buy more blue!!
that was the coolest thing(Video) . never heard of doing this. Congratulations!
So excited for y’all!!! I totally cried when I saw the video (even though I knew the answer from FB) But I love that you have a big family, and that these things are all done together! 🙂 I am an only child so that makes me happy! 🙂
That’s awesome Amber! Thanks so much 🙂
Congratulations on the baby-boy-to be, and a wonderful way to share the news! I chuckled at Mary’s comment about evening out the boys – surely your husband is thrilled at getting a little more testosterone in the house too 🙂
Patty
Yes Patty! That is an understatement :-)!!
Congratulations! So glad your son will have a brother to even things out a bit!
That is so exciting! Congratulations! I’ve seen the cupcake thing and told my daughter that when her time comes (she’s not even married yet but I’m planning ahead) that’s how we should tell people. 😀
Congrats on the baby boy!! I love this idea. If we ever have another one we will be doing this as well. I have two boys and they are great! Boys rock!!
