lately

It seems like time is flying by lately. Every week I have such good intentions of getting certain things done and then before I know it, it's time to start a new week! Just a few updates... we found out the gender of our baby! I threw an adorable (if I do say so myself) gender reveal party and then forgot to take any pictures of the set up, banner and friends that attended. I did manage to get someone to take a couple of us cutting the cake that showed either pink or blue.

 It was blue! We are having a boy! We actually found out before the we threw the party, because wanted to know before everyone else. Which I'm glad we did, because I was actually pretty shocked! I'm not sure why, but when the ultra sound tech told us, I was in disbelief. Probably 5 minutes later she was showing us the baby's heart chambers and I just started crying. I couldn't even explain why, I was just so overwhelmed with emotion. Having a baby is one thing, but a son is another! Don't get me wrong I am so excited and Chris even more so. He wanted a boy so much and I am so glad that he'll have one. Since we found out, I've been buying really cute boy clothes and have started working on the nursery.

Honestly, I think that I'm more shocked that I'm even pregnant. I guess it should have sunk in by now, but it still feels like such a miracle. It wasn't that long ago, that I thought this time in my life would never come. And now I feel my baby boy moving around and kicking every day and night. Chris and I talk about what our son will be like and look like. This has been best 6 months of my life. Not that it's been super fun, but my prayer every day as been for God to help me find the joy in every part of this pregnancy.

My next posts will include our trip to the corn maze, nursery ideas and pregnancy ups and downs.
