January 23, 2016 had to be one of the most exciting days of my life and one that could change both mine and my husband’s lives either way. Would we be raising a rambunctious, adorable boy or a sweet, sassy little girl? I had the unfortunate fate of having absolutely terrible morning sickness. I lost count of how many times I got sick and some days couldn’t keep anything down until the mid-afternoon, so according to old wives’ tales I had an idea of what we were having. I’ll call it mother’s intuition. I had been telling all of my immediate family I thought it was a girl. Either way though we didn’t really care; boy or girl. Raising either one has it pro’s and con’s.

I am really not a big party planner. I think it always sounds like fun in my mind but then once it comes to actually planning a party I stress out. So I was doing good by baking all the cupcakes and muffins with the help of my husband and sister, of course. We also had a gender prediction tree so everyone that showed up but their guess on it with a pink or blue fingerprint and signed their name.
No one at the party including Timothy David and myself knew what we were having, except for my mother because she was in charge of ordering our giant gender reveal balloon. Yes, I trusted my mom enough not even to tell my dad. We all gathered outside for the big reveal.
I cannot wait for May to come so I can finally hold my sweet daughter in my arms. We couldn’t be any happier! In the meantime, for any of our friends and family reading this, here’s our baby registry I started to put together!
