Hi everyone! I will be (hopefully) finding out the gender of my little bean the day before Thanksgiving. I'd like to reveal the gender at our Thanksgiving dinners since we'll be with our family anyway. I have a few ideas, and need your opinions... as well as additional ideas if you have them.
1) Make deviled eggs for an appetizer and use food coloring to dye the whipped part, and would put the top of the egg over it so it was revealed only when we were ready
2) Buy an outfit that will be appropriate for the baby to wear to Thanksgiving 2014 and wrap it for my mom and DH's mom to open (we would have 1 for each mom, since we celebrate with 1 family in the morning and the other in the evening). It would have a little note on the package saying, "Guess who's coming to Thanksgiving 2014 dinner..." or something.
3) Tell the family I will bake a pie... put a piece of cardboard in the color matching the gender under the pie so when the first piece is cut, the color is revealed. My concern w/ this one is waiting until the end of the dinner... My mom knows we find out gender the day before so I don't think she will be able to wait until dessert, AND we might slip ourselves.
I'm not a big fan of the balloon idea or the cake idea. But if you have other ideas, I would love to hear them!!! Thanks in advance!!!
Re: Gender Reveal @ Thanksgiving!
Started TTC in 2006, LOTS of trying, and trying, and 7 rounds of IVF with 13 embryos, 2 perfect little boys and 5 loses....
All finished with babies, started to make diet changes, Keto, to be MORE for my kids, lost 30 pounds, still going, and 3 months in, I had a natural cycle, and then ovulated... Hubs and I are going to see what happens now... Maybe a natural pregnancy? After everything we have been through? Or just a return to normal hormones? We shall see what the future holds!
Baby Dust To All!!!
