TEAM PINK

When we came out of the sono appointment with thoughts of a baby girl spinning through our hearts, we couldn't wait to tell everyone. We were planning a very special surprise to tell both our parents together later that evening, so we started to call our brother and sister. Both did not pick up their phone at first, go figure. So we called our best friends James and Ann. Mike was first on his phone and got a hold of James. James has two little girls so he is knowledgeable in team pink. Ann was next and she was extremely excited too. I then called Shannon, Mandi and Brooke. Brother and sister both called back and were delighted about having a niece in 17 weeks.

The plan was to go to Cheesecake Factory since John, Judy and Anabelle were on their way over from Vero. Liz and Jack were on their way from Dade City. Liz brought a beautiful 8 x 10 frame of the photo I had taken at sunset and two bottles of wine from Doctor Gandle to help celebrate the occasion. I had picked up a pink item to put in the cheesecake at dessert, but the pressure from the grandparents was so fierce that we had to do plan "b" instead. I asked the waitress to stink pink booties in the bread basket that she would bring the table. Everyone still thought the reveal would be at dessert, but when she brought the bread it was an even bigger suprise. Judy and Liz broke out into tears and loud screams.Everyone was excited with the news. Liz began texting to her co-workers/friends and Judy tried to call Mo. We enjoyed the rest of our meal talking about the many thoughts of having a baby girl adding to the family in 17 weeks. It was a wonderful dinner.



At the conculusion, we hustled to the cars in the pouring rain. After dinner we relaxed at home for a bit. Judy and John then gave us Baby Girl's first pink outfit. It was a pink and white onesie with a hat and jacket and a pink blanket that said "Thank Heaven For Little Girls." Buster had his eye on the blanket already.



We then posted this message on facebook: Kim and Mike are excited to tell everyone they are having a baby girl. We received more than 31 message with folks from across the country.
