22 weeks! And baby reveal!

OOk things have been a bit crazy the past two weeks. I obviously forgot to post last week and actually totally forgot that I didn't post the baby news!!

So what happened last week kinda sucked... We were supposed to have our summer wedding party / baby reveal but at the last minute my grandmother got super sick and ended up at the hospital. Come to find out she got a really horrible case of the stomach flu and was contagious so we had to cancel. There was just no option because it was the party that my grandma had spent sooo much time, effort and money on and really it was so that she could celebrate with us. So what we ended up doing was getting some close friends and family together at a nearby park and did our reveal there. It was cute and worked out just fine. I mainly just wanted to get photos of us opening the box and all the balloons coming out.

So, I guess I should finally spill the beans... It is a BOY!!!

We were going to be excited either way but I am so glad we found out!

There is so much to do now! My grandmother decided that now she will host the baby shower since the decor that she picked out just happened to be baby blue haha

The shower will be in late August.

We have another appointment when we get back from Santa Cruz. We will be traveling there for a little vacation over 4th of July holiday so I'm excited about that!

Anyway, it is my bed time so good night. We took a photo this morning...yes, I'm that big lol

20 weeks!!

Today marks the half way point! Although I am hoping that it is little more than half way because I wouldn’t mind not going all the way to 40 weeks!

This morning was our Anatomy Scan which means that we found out the sex of the baby!! But…im not allowed to tellanyone because we are doing a reveal on Saturday. I thought I would want to wait but now I just really want to tell the world! We are sooo happy and can now start planning for our future baby! My mind just cannot focus on anything else. I think I am still in shock of just realizing that we actually have a baby coming soon and now we know we can pick a name, shop for the right colors and everything else. It is a great feeling but I think my head is going to explode!

This past week was good. Barely felt pregnant. Slept pretty good. Over this last weekend we went on a 4 mile hike that I was proud to have completed without feeling horrible. We also went to my grandparents house to visit right after the hike and when we got home I was exhausted. Then on Sunday we got up early and headed to the beach with some friends. That ended up being great. We had set up a few umbrellas so I wasn’t in direct sun and Frank packed plenty of water and snacks. It actually turned overcast later in the morning so the weather was perfect. We left the beach and headed to our other friends house for dinner. They have a 2 year old that will end up spending a lot of time with our baby, I’m sure. It was nice to have a busy weekend. It felt like it was long but man going back to work always comes to soon.

This coming weekend is our reception / summer party that my grandparents are throwing for us in their backyard. We are excited to see and spend time with everyone. And most excited to let everyone know the big news!

I will post a photo tomorrow. I totally forgot this morning because of the Doctor appointment.

19 weeks!

The suspense is killing me! It’s so funny because I know that it will either be a girl or a boy, it’s not that complicated and we will of course be happy with a healthy baby of any sex. It is just that feeling of not knowing. I never thought it would be such a big deal to me. I must be getting that nesting feeling that people talk about but I don’t feel like I can plan things until I know the sex. I am super excited for next Tuesday morning!

This past week I have started feeling more comfortable with my belly sticking out. Before, I was trying to hide it with larger shirts and shawls. But now it almost looks like a really am prego and not just getting real fat. It actually makes it easier to find stuff to wear at this stage because I can still wear my regular tops, they are just tighter.

Almost every weekend is filled with activities for the next 3 months so that should keep me busy. Then it will be baby shower time and when I really need to start planning for the little one. Seems so far away to be planning but we even have to start looking into daycares (if that is how we end up having to do it) and pediatricians. I have started watching birthing classes online but still not sure if I will actually sign up for the real thing. There are so many resources online that I feel like I have read about pretty much everything they could teach me.

Will post a photo tomorrow because we forgot to take one this morning!

Wednesday: adding the photo from this morning :)
