Gender Reveal

For those of you have not yet heard this weird and wonderful story, here goes. With the suggestion from a coworker, Alex and I decided to have a gender reveal party for our close family and friends. We couldn't possbily wait until baby was born to find out the gender and so we thought having the surprise shared in such a manner would still give some excitement to the news but allow us ample planning time. Also, we were just so sick of calling our baby "it." My wonderful in-laws so graciously planned and hosted the party at their house and our only real duty was to order the cake. Contrary to what some might think, Alex and I were just as ignorant to the news as everyone else although we were pretty confidant that we were having a boy. Only our bakery knew the gender of our baby. Well, the Pioneer Press was looking to do a story on these parties as a new trend and they just so happened to call our bakery. The next thing we knew, a news crew was at our party. The following article was the result:

FYI: The quote about my "troubled students" was a misquote. I was referencing how challenging it is to come up with unique names when I encounter so many on a daily basis. And Alex's dad is named K.C. not Don. Silly, newspaper man :)
