After all of the second guessing, I think this will be fine for a boy or a girl. I wrapped it up my new favorite way: in a tulle bag. I tried it once out of desperation, I had no wrapping supplies on hand and my present was too weird to tie tulle around. I thought sewing tulle would be hard, but if you can push a pedal you can sew tulle. Now I keep all colors on hand and whip up a custom sized matching gift bag in a matter of minutes. I took it to one of the best baby showers I have ever been to. It involved chocolate, cupcakes and scrapbooking. Need I say more? I will post about it's awesomeness tomorrow and probably the few days after too, it was that great.

So there are two types of moms-to-be:
The "we can't wait to find out what we are having" and the "we love the surprise". I am 100% in the club of finding out as soon as I can. I guess it has to do with my terrifying pregnancies and all that we have been through. I want to know the child I am carrying as well as I can in the womb for however many days they are there. But I can totally respect the brave few who welcome the unknown. Tomorrow I am going to a baby shower for a mom who has one girl and one boy. They decided this time would be a surprise. So fun! It is a diaper shower and I just couldn't bring myself to just wrapping up a pack of Swaddlers and calling it a day. She needs something fun to keep them in, right? I found myself struggling with what fabric to pick. Almost all of my stash is either very girly or very boy. The few fun retro kid prints I have won't work. The type of diaper clutch I make calls for an all-over, not directional print. My sweet husband who indulges my craft questions suggested I use a Hawaiian print. BRILLIANT! I had some red hibiscus left over from another project just waiting to be used. What do you think? Is it neutral enough? Would you carry it around for a baby boy? I don't have boys so I am a bit clueless. Maybe she will have a girl and all of this wondering will be pointless.
