Baby Stout is a...
Around here, it's a big week, no matter how you slice it. By the end of this week, we know the gender of Baby Stout, I'll be 40, and Ashley and Matt will be married. Let's just say there is going to be a lot of cake this week.
Speaking of cake, we started with one that looked like this last night for the Baby Stout Gender Reveal Party.
We all gathered at Steve's parents house to find out if our newest family member was a girl or a boy.
And, our new baby is a...
GIRL! Lauren Olivia Stout will make her way officially into our world sometime in February. For now, we'll shop for pink bows, cute dresses, frilly panties, and loads of Minnie Mouse gear.
Amanda's reaction when she cut into the cake and saw the pink icing says how elated our baby girl is to be having her own baby girl.
As for Lucas, I gotta tell you that this kid has willpower. Despite an entire room full of all the people he loves most in the world telling him to go ahead and lick the cake, slap it with his hand, or even do a face plant, this was as close as he got. I'm not sure why all of us were egging him on, but luckily the smart little boy - who is going to make a fabulous big brother - knew better than to listen to his grown ups.
Stout family - sorry for fuzzy pictures. I love you all so much! Congrats!
Baby Lauren - you are already loved more than you can know. You are a joyous addition to our world.
