Christmas Gender reveal!




This is our REAL reaction when we found out it was a girl! I loved that we did it this way instead of just having the tech say "Its A!!!" It made it so much more emotional and truly added to the experience! We will definitely be doing this for all our babes!  

Gender reveal video!!


Video doesn't start until about a minute in, so skip ahead!

Ryan and I went  an early view ultrasound place, that specializes in only ultrasounds! I highly recommend it! It was only $75 and we got a ton of pics, found out the gender 4 weeks earlier then we would have and the guy was super nice and gave us this awesome DVD for free!! That we can show to her later down the line!:) 

18weeks!

Sweet Baby Girl! 

How far along? 18 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: 4 pounds still! When I went to the doctor the scale said I only gained 2 pounds! But at home its still about 4 pounds. (not complaining)
Maternity clothes? Nope, just my stretchy clothes.
Stretch marks? Nope
Sleep: Iv'e been having alot of insomnia!
Best moment this week: Finding out the gender of course!

Symptoms? Iv'e had alot of growing pains in my stomach this week! 
Miss Anything? Home!:( and a glass of wine! (This one wont change for a long time)
Movement: Nothing....hopefully in the next two weeks! 
Food cravings: Breakfast always sounds good!! 
Anything making you queasy or sick: Still a little at night, and if I eat too much:( But over all SOOO much better then the past few months THANK GOD!
Have you started to show yet: I didn't think so, until we took this picture last night! In tight clothes I'm for sure rockin the bump!
Gender prediction: ITS A GIRL!!
  
(week 16 feeling): I think deep down I'm worried I wont get any girls, and I need at least one, my thoughts are boy, and I've always seen myself being a boy mom, but my gut feeling is girl......Its weird! If any of that makes sense. (Thought it was interesting to read this now that I know the gender!)

This week: Its so crazy! I felt in my gut this whole time it was a girl or it may of been that:
Chinese calendar gender predictor= Girl
  Severe morning sickness= Girl

baking soda & urine test= Girl
My mom knew it was a= Girl
Ryan and his intuition thought= Girl
High Heart Rate= Girl


  I still couldn't get myself to believe it might be a girl! My family and Ryan's family always told us we were going to get all boys, which runs in both of our families, so as long as a can remember I've prepared myself to be a "boy" mom........So as you can imagine, I'm in shock and so thrilled! I've always been a mamma's girl, so I really hope I can have the same relationship with her as I have with my mom. (PLUS GIRL CLOTHES are so much cutter then boy clothes!)
Labor Signs: Nope.
Belly Button in or out? In
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been in pretty good spirits this week! Christmas around the corner and feeling better has definitely helped! 
Looking forward to: Christmas and feeling this gal move around!!
Possibly what baby girl will look like next Christmas!:)

P.s We will not be announcing the name until her birth;) I've known since my teens that this would be my first little girls name..... if I were to be blessed with a girl that is. Her middle name will be after my moms mom, as my middle name was after my moms mom:)
