Gender
The news is out! We're having a BOY!!!I had just bought halloween crafts and decorated my house. I found awesome stuff at the Dollar Tree and Walmart. It was so fun to decorate, while I watched "When Harry Met Sally." Oh meg I love you. He style is impeccable in that movie.
I then cut my hair with Kortney Cook. I LOVE how she cuts my hair and this time I took a leap of faith and had her color it as well! I love the result! It cost the wallet a nice diet but I love the haircut. And Kortney and I had so much fun talking. I felt so spoiled and blessed that I got to just sit while someone made my hair pretty. I got pampered, I got to relax and I got the best head massage of my life.
At South Towne Matt bought me Lemonade. One of my main cravings right now. I always want it which is weird cause I honestly could care less about lemonade before this. It is really my only craving. Except cookies... but that is nothing new..
We also stopped in Gymboree to pick out an girl outfit and then a boys. The boys clothes were just not cute and so I really only picked out a girls outfit with little bunnies on it.
My heart was pounding OUT of my chest before my appointment at Fetal Studio. There was this obnoxious music playing above me and weird fetal photos all around and tummy casts saying, "8 months" and "4 months" and I was just thinking, "I cannot do this." It was a weird reaction, I admit. I just got scared I think. I can't quite put my finger on it but I was scared and nauseated and didn't want to go into the ultra sound. I don't know if its me being a very private person lately that I didn't want some man knowing my business, but I relented and actually ended up feeling a lot of peace. Drew, Elodie, and Laura were present and though I originally wanted to just go with Matt, having the kiddos there was helpful. I lay on the bed and pulled my shirt up. My Doctor was from Lithuania and he made me laugh with his strong accent and called a penis a pee pee. Also a little weird. My favorite part of the appointment were seeing my little guy's hands. They waved and both were curled up and very visible. I love his hands. I stared at his face and honestly forgot anyone else was in the room. I never wanted him to find the gender because I wanted to stay looking at my baby for the rest of my life. He was crazy, bouncy and all over the place. I knew it was a boy before he even found the penis. Even though i said right before I think it is a girl. Its the same with each ultra sound I have had. I just see the baby and know its a boy. And my intuition was right!
I shed one tear but held it together and just stared dreamily. I felt such a connection with him in my belly I just I cannot describe it.
The Doc was blocking Matt's face and so I didn't get to see him until afterwards and once I saw his smiley face I started to cry.
Matt and I are just way too blessed. I just cannot believe it sometimes. Laura paid for the appointment and dinner afterwards. I don't know how we are so taken care of all the time.
Back at gymboree I announced the gender to the workers there and immediately the little boy's clothes were the cutest things I've ever seen. ha ha ha so funny how that works. We picked out a brown bear onesie and Laura bought us a blue striped onesie.
Elodie would not believe it's a boy. She just keeps saying its a girl :) I love it.
At blue lemon after I enjoyed just sitting and eating. Its my favorite restaurant by far. I could eat there every day.
We got home and called mom and Dad. They were both so excited for us. We planned how we would tell the siblings and then took pictures to send them. I also told Kortney, Christie Savage, and Caitlin Anderson. They and the siblings were the first to know. I told Mandy and Brooke Woolf later and then Nicole. But none of my other friends. Whoops.
Pregnancy Woes
My week 15 went good and I only really got sick in the afternoons and nights. I had, one night, a lot of lymph node pain and lots of headaches. I also am very achy everywhere. It's just my old aches accentuated and more often. I learning to complain less and less. Which is always good.
Announcement
We finally did a gender/baby announcement on social media. It was not only a blast to make but a huge hit with my family and all our friends. I am grateful for Barrett who came to film and then hang with us afterwards. We watched the Internship that night and I laughed way too hard. Some movies really get me LOLing.
Gender Announcement to the families and few friends.
Other Actives throughout the week:
Cornbellys with Brady and Bailee
Frank our front door
Waiting to head into the ultrasound
Waiting to head into Blue Lemon
Our bat wall! I just stare at it all day. I love it.
Extra big today!
My future son's bestie. Also I went to SLAB with Christie and Dax (pizza disappointed me..) but Christie is my bestie for life. I love her.
Lexie Bullock invited me to a "Fall Colaboration Party" and I had a great time. Met new people and just enjoyed myself out in the nature. I told Matt I would try my very hardest to be myself and I ended being able to!
My friend the Blue Jay
Side note: I made my first roast with carrots and cauliflower potatoes. Delish and then made me super sick :) and we saw the Martian midnight showing. Awesome movie.
I finished the book "Smiles To Go" - Jerry Spinelli. I love this author so much.
