Counting For Caleb {5}

Placing Caleb for adoption and having the adoptive parents extremely involved in the process were decisions that Janey made very early in her pregnancy.  For this reason, she decided to wait on finding out the gender of the baby.  She did however have a strong feeling that it was a girl which we would have named Adalyn Hope.

The day of the ultrasound, Caleb was being a real stinker and wouldn't uncross his legs.  The ultrasound technician finally found a clear view and declared, "It's a boy!"

Shocked would be the perfect word to describe Janey's response, but I was not surprised by the revelation because I could only imagine another gorgeous biracial baby boy.

Andrew, Olivia, and Jax's response to having a new sibling was of great interest to Janey.  For this reason, I decided to throw together a simple gender reveal for Scott and the kiddos.  A big box and a bouquet of blue balloons were purchased on the way home.

Olivia took it upon herself to make pink and blue bows/bow ties to represent each person's guess.  Basing her decision on Janey's feeling and the strong desire to have a baby sister, Olivia confidently placed a pink bow in her hair.  She did need a few minutes to recover after the big reveal.  Switching her mindset from pink dresses and hair bows to superhero capes and bow ties took only a handful of minutes.

The quality of the photos isn't great, but the reveal was absolutely perfect.
