The PINK Campaign ......

If you have followed my blog you will know that I have had a "Think PINK" campaign going on for Angela and the new baby she is giving us.  Not that I don't love Jase or the fact that we have a wonderful little GrandSon.....but Angela needs a little PINK baby to do 'girly' things with.......Jeffery does have Jase......so it is only fair.   So since the announcement of the new little one I have asked everyone to Think PINK!

They have had two or more visits now with the Doctor or Midwife ...the first sonogram she told them it "sounds like a Cowboy"......I continued to stress Think PINK.....the next visit they were told "it sounds like a happy little girl".....in other words........who knows.......

Yesterday was THE day to find out what they are expecting ........ The way they do this is to have the tech doing the sonogram do her thing.....then write down or print out on one of the pictures what the baby will be......then they go out to dinner and open the envelope..  Wonderful tradition ......true......but a little hard on the GramMa.....

So.....we get a phone call while they are waiting for dinner....."We know the results so can we swing by on the way home?"........duh.......am I gonna say No?  Then after hours (it seems) pass we get another call....."Jase is really tired so we are just going home and will come by tomorrow or the next day"......HA!!! I don't even think that is an option!

I have been collecting and knitting for this new arrival and have a Pretty Flowery Box full of PINK things.......and a storeage bag full of litle blue things.....
I know not very equal......but remember I was Thinkin' PINK........so I have them on the coffee table waiting for everyone to come over......when they get here I tell Angela she can have which ever she will use.......

Our Sweet Angela went over and looked at them both......then picks up the blue bag....I really tried to sound excited ......"oh...It's a Boy!"......then with  a very serious look she hads me the bag back and says "You may want to keep this for the next baby"........WHAT????....


.......So now you know the end of our story..........Thank you all that were with me on the "Think PINK" campaign .......I do believe it worked!

The disappointment on your face when you thought it was a boy was classic! I'm thinking that maybe Angela wasn't the only one REALLY wanting a girl! Ha ha! Love you mom!
