One of the greatest things about photography is being allowed to be a part of the special moments in peoples’ lives. It’s extra awesome when those people are also friends. It’s bombdiggity awesome when you get to photograph lots of special moments for the same friends.

 How adorable was this idea that Jeff’s Mother came up with? Using some old wives tales for predicting the sex of the baby she made this cute board to tally up which ones applied to Alicia.

Questions about morning sickness, whether she’s clumsy more now that she’s pregnant…even to how she held her hands up when asked to show them or picked up a key can apparently all reveal whether she’s having a girl or boy.

After that everyone was logged in and ready for the big moment. The lady who did their ultrasound had written the sex of the baby on a piece of paper and put it in a sealed envelope. Jeff and Alicia took it to the bakery and ordered cupcakes with instructions for the cupcakes to have strawberry filling for a girl and blueberry for a boy.

How exciting is that?! I’m stilling smiling 🙂
So you want to know what the old wives tales predicted?

 Maybe there is something to all that stuff?
