The Big Reveal!

I am now 21 weeks pregnant and feeling great. I am so much bigger at this point than I was the last time I was pregnant. It cracks me up all the time. The only thing I wish I could do is run or exercise, but because of having placenta previa, the doctor suggests that I lay low for the rest of my pregnancy. My biggest fear is that I could go on bed rest in my third trimester, but hopefully, that will not be the case. There is also a big chance that I will have to have a C section at 37 weeks, but I will know more after my next ultra sound. I love feeling the baby kick more often now. New life is such a miracle!

21 weeks pregnant

At our 19 week ultrasound, we decided to put the gender in an envelope and have a little reveal party to find out what we are having. My friend, Amber, was the ONLY one who got to see what we were having, because she made our precious little cake for us. If it was a girl, she would make the cake pink. If it was a boy, she would make the cake blue. We would find out as soon as we cut into it!

Isn't this cake precious!

My guess was boy, because I am carrying the same way I carried James. And the baby's heart rate seemed low to me. Justin guess girl because I was sick more often this time around, and I have had more complications with this pregnancy.

Family picture before we cut the cake.

(I was so anxious to find out that I was a nervous wreck!)

And the cutting begins...

And what color do we see?????

PINK!!!! I could not believe my eyes!

Were we really having a GIRL????!!!

Well, you can see James expression. He was either really disappointed we were not giving him a brother, or he just got really upset when I started screaming out of excitement.

(I think it was the latter :)

I just kept staring at the pink cake, because I just knew I was going to see blue.

And of course, since I am such a cry baby, tears started flowing. I am sooo happy to be having a little girl. I pray that she stays healthy and that God makes her just the way he wants.
