We actually meant to put it up months ago, but got so busy it got put on the back burner. Whoops! We found out in November. One day Tyler came home to this on our door:
I used a couple of the "what will your baby look like?" websites. Thought it turned out cute, but not at all what Grant looks like!
Baby Coming is Mid July!
Actually horrible timing, since we made it into the family cast of the Nauvoo pageant and it starts on my due date, but oh well! Totally worth it :)
We announced our pregnancy to our families when my family was in town for Thanksgiving. They came to see Savior of the World, which Tyler's family was in. After the show, we told them we wanted a family group picture. We gathered everyone together and pretended like we were taking a picture. In fact it was the following video:
I think it's funny that you can tell the message didn't get across to everyone. It has now though!
Well, for some reason I have REALLY been curious about the gender of this baby. Even more so than I was with Grant. I felt like it was a girl, but didn't want to say so because I felt I was biased. I really really wanted a girl next. We looked into finding out early, but weren't willing to pay the $50 that my obgyn charges for a 16 week gender check. Week 16 came and I couldn't stand it. I was going home that week for my brother's mission homecoming and I wanted to be able to tell everyone! We discovered a place that only charges $25, so...
We're having a Girl!!!
I'm ecstatic! I immediately made Tyler go out shopping with me for some baby girl outfits. We were only supposed to get one, but found some good deals and couldn't make decisions so we ended up with:
Anyhow. The pregnancy has been going well. I'm just starting to show. The annoying kind of show where it doesn't look like I'm pregnant, but looks like I'm a little pudgy. It's a stepping stone though! I've been more tired than I was with Grant, but that could just be a mental thing. I have an excuse to sit on the couch and watch Gilmore Girls and I've been taking advantage of it. My face has completely broken out. Guess that Chinese wives tale is true for me! I haven't been sick, which is a blessing.
Tyler and I are both really excited for the new addition to our family! Grant is going to be a great older brother. We already have him in training ;)
Congrats!! So excited for you guys! Are you still going to try to do Nauvoo? How's that going to work?
ReplyDeleteThanks! Sadly, we won't do Nauvoo. I entertained the idea for a few days, but then had to be practical. If she comes early like Grant did, we may go out so we can see the rest of the family in the pageant!
