Caption: Making Plans
Caption: My niece is a CPA. She is married to a master bricklayer who works restoration masonry jobs high on the old skyscrapers of Detroit.
They both like plans. She invests time. He's very organized about building their lives as a family.

Caption: Of course they wanted to know the gender so they could plan ahead. They found out at the sonogram that it was a girl.
Picture
Caption: And so they started to plan and prepare for Isabella.
Picture
Caption: Outfits were purchased, and gifts were handmade.

Caption: Nurseries were decorated.
Picture
Caption: But then there was a surprise. Isabella was a Mason!
Picture
Caption: It turns out that sonograms are only 90% accurate, depending on the skill of the technician and the position of the baby.
Picture
Caption: We think maybe Mason wanted to let them know early he was going to challenge their efforts to make plans.
Picture
Caption: The grandmothers refurbished the nursery before the family got home, but Mason is cool with the touches of pink that linger.
