Match.com Baby

Posted on June 11th, 2012 by Brad under: personal experience

As many reader’s here know, I met my wife using the dating service Match.com. We’ve been married for 5 years now and are entering the next phase of our family: expecting our first child.

We decided to have some fun with finding out the sex of our baby by having a gender reveal party. If you’ve not heard of this it goes something like this:

My wife and I went to the doctor’s office and had a sonogram done that reveals the sex. However, the technician didn’t tell us the sex but instead wrote it down and put the paper in an envelope.We then took the envelope to our bakery and they bake a cake. The sex of the baby will determine the color of the batter: blue for boy, pink for girl.Next, we bring the cake home and then throw a party. With everyone together, we cut the cake open and everyone finds out the sex of the baby at the same moment.

It was a lot of fun although I was very tempted to peak the morning of the party (but didn’t). Plus, when we did the actual cutting of the cake it was more of a “tearing into it” sort of approach than the normal cake cutting ceremony! So here were the results of our party:
