And here’s the long-promised video, everyone! We are so thrilled!
I’ll post some pictures of the finished cupcakes later today. We put the colored frosting inside them so you could discover the baby’s gender when you bit into one. They were quite a hit with some little friends later that evening, too.
Ahhh… aren’t you excited?!

This photo is from this week when we had our 19-week ultrasound and found out the gender of our baby! We are tickled pink (or umm… blue?) around here. Lena and I spent much of the morning (and some of the afternoon… it’s a long process with a little one) baking cupcakes with colored frosting in the middle. Tonight we’re going to bite into the cupcakes with our friends and reveal the gender!
I took a little video of Lena mixing up the colored frosting and “discovering” if she was going to have a baby sister or brother. Right now I’m just sharing it with the family so they can know first, but I’ll post it here on Monday morning!
Any gut feelings from you all if we’re having a boy or a girl? We’d love to hear your guesses!

We arrived home this past Friday exhausted after a week away in northern Italy (Elliott had a training course in Vicenza outside Venice) and ready to do a mountain of laundry and relax. Well, guess I’d better not complain too much when we just have one baby! Things will get a lot more tiring all the time pretty soon.
By Sunday morning, though, we had recuperated and were glad we’d agreed to join our friends at the beach for the rest of the Labor Day weekend. We’ve known this couple since soon after we moved to Sigonella and have enjoyed a deepening friendship this spring and summer. Emily and Nathan have a darling 9-month-old daughter named Ava and she and Lena were in total awe of each other. We loved reading in deck chairs at the peaceful hotel, thoughtful conversations over dinner, and building friendships with like-minded people. Thanks for inviting us, Emily and Nathan!
Enjoy some photos below… including my second-on-the-blog-ever belly shot! And Lena giving kisses and examining crabs.
