Because we waited until our second trimester to tell everyone we were expecting, it wasn't but a month later that we found out that our little bity was going to be a girl. I had seen a friend from high school had a gender party and when I told Tyler about it, he loved it too. We decided that was a perfect way for us to find out if our little bun in the oven was going to be tutus and recitals or basketballs and trucks.
At our BIG ultrasound we asked the sonographer to tell us anytime she was in the "nether regions" so we could look away. We were teasing each other that one of us would cheat, so we stared lovingly (haha) into each other's eyes the whole time so we would know for sure that we were being honest. She cut that picture out seperatley for us and sealed it in an envelope. Later that day I dropped the envelope off with my best friend, Jodi. She and her husband found out the next day if thier baby was a girl or boy also, so she had her secret to keep and mine for a few days. TORTURE! I knew she knew, she knew I she knew...it was crazy fun!
Jodi called a baker friend of ours and explained the process and said to bake a cake and dye the cake itself either pink or blue and ice it completely white and write "It's a ?" on the cake.
We invited our families and some of our closest friends to dinner and had a VERY suspenseful meal waiting for dessert!
Here are some pics of our night. It was SO fun! If anyone wants to find out the sex of their baby in a fun way, this is it!
My beautiful mom, Nonnie and I waiting for dinner...
Mommy and Daddy waiting to find out!
Cutting into the cake! Funny moment...the baker (who is a friend from church) wanted to trick us, so she "accidently" dabbed a little blue icing on the bottom decorative part. Tyler took it out of the box and was saying "I see it, I know, I see it" before I even cut into it. I was yelling at him saying "No you don't, No you don't" because I wanted us to fin out at the exact same moment!
We both were FULLY convinced it was a boy - so imagine our surprise! PINK! GIRL!!
Pink cake for our sweet girl, Zolie Addison Rohr!
"My Daddy ROCKS!" - Yes, sweet girl, he does. Hard core. :)
Everyone weating blue that thought Baby Rohr was going to be a little boy.

It really was one of my (and Tyler's) favorite memories we've made in our marriage. We loved it. Thank you friends and family for making it so special and finding out the surprise of our little girl with us!
I was going to blog my entire pregnancy today - but it is NOW TIME to go the hospital! We start the induction early in the morning. So I must go for now. I will continue to blog the rest of our pregnancy, but it will be after she gets here!
Send prayers and thoughts and love our way - we are on our way!
