A few weeks ago I, along with three other fantastic ladies, had the pleasure of hosting a gender reveal party for one of my closest friends.
For as long as I have known Sonya, she has talked about how she couldn’t wait to one day be a Mom. Her and her husband traveled for work for 7+ years, and as such there was a specific plan lined out for when they would start contemplating having kids. All of us knew about this plan and its timeline, and let me just say that over the past year there have been a few of us that were everything BUT quiet in our impatience for “the announcement”. Thankfully, a couple months ago the glorious news came that Sonya and Arturo are expecting… cue all the girly excited screams (seriously, I’m sure my neighbors heard us).
Now, in the time I’ve known Sonya I’ve also known how much she wants at least her first baby to be a girl. There’s some chuckles had in our group about the “curse” she put on a few of our guy friends and that they are all doomed to have little girls. Up until literally last month, that “curse” had continued to come to fruition (three guys, three daughters). In retaliation, they were casting a similar premonition on Sonya that her first child would be a boy.
We’ll get back to that in a minute…
Not long after the announcement, Sonya’s 20 week sonogram rolled around and in order to keep the surprise for the party, we ended up having to keep the secret for 10 DAYS! I’m shocked Sonya survived it.
Fun was had by all. Up next, the baby shower! And in case you were curious…
Until next time…
