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!

We made it!

It's official! We made it to the 2nd trimester and I gotta say that ever since I hit it I've felt so much better. I finally have some energy, no more morning sickness & I finally felt good enough to go get my eyebrows waxed. Talk about relief! It has been two months since I last got them cleaned up and let me tell you, I'm so glad it's taken care of now.

With the 2nd trimester now in my grasp, I have lots of things to look forward to in the coming weeks and months. We are planning a Gender Reveal Party, which I'm really looking forward to. We decided that on the day of the sonogram that only Paul & I will be going and we will have the tech put the gender reveal image in an envelope without telling us what the gender is. Then we will head to Publix and ask the bakery to look and see what we are having and to make a cake that on the inside will either have pink or blue icing, depending on girl or boy of course. Then we will send out of our invites for the party and then reveal on party day at the end what the inside of the cake tells us. I'm going to be doing a Bee theme, which I know is pretty common for Gender Reveal Party's but our last name starts with a B, so it really fits. My lovely mother will be hosting the party at her home and creating the invites and some decor for us. I'm pretty excited!

I'm hoping for a March party, since the end of Feb should be when we find out. As far as the nursery, I made a inspiration board, which I'm still tweeking. So, I'll have that ready for my next update. Hopefully later this week! :)
