What will it bee?

Boy, we had one busy week last week. We spent the week in Kissemmee (or Orlando, really) because Paul had a work convention since he's now the big boss man at work. So, while Paul was working, Gracie & I were playing. Jordan stayed home with Granny because he couldn't miss school. The coolest thing about the hotel we stayed in was that it had a mini water park on site, right next to the pool. We only got to use the water park on Thursday, our last full day there but Gracie had a blast. I on the other hand got sunburnt. As it always goes that way. But regardless, we had fun!

Earlier that week we took Gracie to Downtown Disney to the Bibbidi Bobbidi Boutique to be made into a princess. Disney took such great care of her. They wound up comping the whole experience for us since in November when we originally went, our appointment was pushed back 3 hours, which meant she wouldn't of been dolled up till after closing hours due to how busy it was that day. I made sure to make this appointment for first thing in the morning. She even had a little photoshoot when they finished.

I didn't have time to scan them so I just snapped quick shots with my phone.



She's such a ham! I couldn't believe how great she was through the whole thing. Usually she throws a fit when I brush her hair but for them she smiled the whole time and was so well behaved & thankful. I was proud. :)

This week (Wednesday) I have my anatomy sonogram, the big one when we find out the gender! I'm so excited! I really hope our little peanut is facing the right way and shows us their little parts!! As I've said before, we're having a Gender Reveal Party this time, instead of a baby shower. My mom made all of the invites in the Bee theme I asked for. She's crazy talented! I gotta say, they turned out pretty great!



You can view more of them (since she made them all look slightly different) at her blog.

Anyway, looking forward to finding out what baby #2 is! Everyone I come across thinks different things. Some think it's a girl, some think it's a boy. I'll be happy either way but would love a little boy. I guess we'll have to wait till March 10th to find out the answer! In other news, we start working on the nursery in the next couple of weeks. Lots of good stuff happening in March!

It's almost time!

So, I've been a tad MIA lately because the stomach bug swept through my house like a tornado and took everyone out with it. First Gracie had it, then she gave it to me, then I gave it to Paul & then Jordan got it. Thankfully it only lasts between 1-3 days so we were all back on our feet by the weekend.

Today my mom and I went to my monthly doctor visit to check on baby. Have I mentioned that ever since I entered the 2nd trimester I've felt fantastic? As a long time nail biter, I finally have nails! My own REAL nails!! Since I got pregnant the thought of biting my nails has disgusted me. Never in my life has this happened. My hair is healthier, I just feel great! I haven't even been taking prenatal vitamins because they make me sick. So all these changes are all natural! Which brings me to think I'm having a boy. I never was like this when I was pregnant with Gracie. My mood is great too! Even tho the 1st trimester was hell (something else I didn't experience with Gracie) now I feel great! I'm telling you, my instincts are telling me I'm having a boy. Now whether I am or not, I'll be a happy momma anyway because I've waited SO LONG for this to happen that I don't mind either way, but deep down, I feel it's a boy.

Anyway, I'll be 16 weeks on Monday. I went to the doctor today and babies heart rate was 150. We talked about my Gender Reveal Party and told him I gotta make my appointment for my second sonogram and he agreed and let me do it when I wanted, which will be the last week of this month. I'm shooting for the 27th since it's a Wednesday and Paul has that day off. I gotta tell ya, I'm so excited! I can't wait till my mom finishes the invites that she's custom making by hand, so I can post it here! We start renovations on baby B's room in the next couple weeks! YAY!
