Baby Trimble

Erin is expecting her sixth child in December. So she decided to have a gender reveal party. When she went in for her ultrasound, she asked the tech not to tell her what the gender was. She asked her to put it in an envelope and seal it. She then took the sealed envelope to Party City, along with a big box, and asked them to fill the box with filled balloons in the appropriate color. Her friend, Terri, picked up the box and took it to Erin's house just before the party. She invited family and a few friends to join in the festivities. The people attending were asked to wear pink if they thought the baby was going to be a girl and blue if they thought it would be a boy. It was about an even split. We were also invited to offer a suggestion for the baby's name. Those were a hoot! At the appointed time, Erin and Brian opened the box. And much to (most) everyone's surprise, the balloons were blue! They're having a boy! And boy was everyone excited and elated. The Trimbles are seeing blue these days!!!
