The day we found out the gender of our second baby was a Friday. A friend from church told me a fun idea about having cakes made for the purpose of revealing the baby's gender. I picked out 3 cakes—one for our little family Friday, one for Saturday, and one for Sunday. Steve, Katelyn, and I went to Holland for dinner at the brewery and then to Kollen park. It was a beautiful day in the 70s. After Katelyn played for awhile, we found a quiet park bench and cut into our cake. Steve video taped it and I cut the cake. To all of our surprise, the cake was BLUE! It’s a baby boy-and a baby brother for Katelyn. What a fun day. After the park we went to Tip Toes to look for a special boy present. Steve found a blue onesie that said “Chick magnet” on it. Katelyn got to pick out a necklace. We finished the night off with a coffee from JPs.

As you can see, the cake was destroyed, but very delicious.
Saturday, we had all the Roedemas over at our house for a harvest party/Brian’s birthday. We had Dad and Mom Roedema cut the cake. Mom said that she knew it would be a boy after I told her that the baby kicked me so hard that it took my breath away a few weeks ago. She also told us later that she had been praying specifically for God to give us a boy which is really special to us.
Sunday, we went to the Alles house for a birthday celebration for Mom Alles and Josh. No one could wait until after dinner, so we had Dad and Mom Alles cut into the cake. It was fun to see everyone’s reaction to the color of the cake!
