I feel like I just wrote about being 17 weeks along...thank goodness the time is flying by!
Tomorrow is the big day that we find out the gender of the baby - as well as finding out if all the organs are in good working order and it has all the necessary parts.
I had originally wanted to keep the gender of the baby a secret - just between Jesse and I - and have the inside of the cake at the shower be blue or pink. I even told our intake nurse that idea and she asked if she could share it with other parents-to-be. However, the number of people who want to know or are convinced that they can figure it out (by looking at my facial expression)...paired with the people we would want to tell (family and close friends as well as the amazing ladies planning my shower)...well, it just negates the need to keep it a secret. Plus, Jesse really wants to share the news and if I'm being logical (which yesterday and today I haven't been...yay hormones) he needs to be able to have some say in this whole process. The guy gets the shaft in this whole pregnancy thing.
So, tomorrow I will come home from our appointment and make some cupcakes that will either be pink or blue inside...and then I can share those cupcakes with close family and friends over the following few days. The gender will not be posted on here until probably Monday. So keep putting in your votes on the poll! And for those family and friends close by - touch base with me to get your cupcake! (How many should I make...?)
I finally spent some time cleaning out my armoire to get rid of the clothes that have been taunting me. I hung up all my maternity clothes so I can open the doors and see what is a logical option for me to wear. It's a fairly bare sight - but that's ok. This is such a short time of my life so I can wear the same things over and over again. Next up I'm going to go through my t-shirts and put away the ones that will already show belly.
Next project will be to finally start uploading Europe pictures...grr - why am I procrastinating on that?
I just have one complaint about your post today. You say and I quote "The guy gets the shaft in this whole pregnancy thing." ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteMy back hurts, my joints hurt, I cant sleep, I get dizzy spells, not to mention the whole first trimester of just feeling like crap.........How exactly does he get the shaft?
Your silly!!!
ummm can you overnight matt, reece, and I a cupcake please.. K$
ReplyDeleteYou is pregers? CONGRATULATIONS! = D
ReplyDeleteRobot - I am preggers! It finally happened!
ReplyDeleteKristin - I get your point. It is logical. I rescind my statement about the man getting the shaft.
K$ - I will eat one for you and take a picture :)
Most definitely - the guys get it easy. So, enjoy this special time and if ANY guy says anything negative or derogatory, you have mine and every woman's permission to hurt him. :) Anyways - BIG DAY! WOO-HOO!! I want to know as soon as you find out. The cupcake would be moldy by the time it got down to Florida. I have a bunch of things I want to get that all depend on the gender. It is going by fast - too fast. Love this baby - both or girl.......and love you more than life itself.
ReplyDelete...whoops...meant BOY or girl - not BOTH or girl... Is that a sign?
