18 Weeks


Thought I would post an 18 week photo for my sisters and mom who keep asking to see my bump! Well here it is! I feel like I've just "popped" out in the last couple weeks and people are starting to notice now that I'm pregnant, not just  fat around the middle.

I am continuing to work, which I keep telling myself is a blessing....I guess I have good days and bad days so I just need to suck it up!

Heath won a trip to London through work so he leaves tomorrow for 1 week...this is the longest we've been away from each other since we've been married! I am all for him going and really excited for him but now that it's here I'm really sad! I guess I'm more sad because I have my 20 week scan while he is away, which I could of rescheduled for the next week so he could be there but Heath is so impatient and couldn't wait so I'm keeping it the same date.

But we decided to do something different to find out the sex of the baby...I'm going to have the doctor put the gender in an envelope (won't have him tell us at the appointment) and then we are going to have a "Sex Party" (not what it sounds like!) with all friends and family so we can all find out the gender at the same time. So I will give the envelope to one of Heath's sisters and they will put a bunch of colored helium balloons in a box (pink for girl, blue for boy) and then we'll open the box at the party (saw it on Pinterest). We will record it and show it to my family so they can feel apart of it too! This way, essentially Heath and I find out at the same time!

Can't wait to find out what we're having!!!

  1. My friends totally tried pressuring me into having one of those "gender reveal" parties! They all thought it would be fun, guess I'm a party pooper. I fully intend to walk into my ultrasound and ask right away whats the gender! You look so cute with your little bump!

  4. Cutie patootie! And I love your outfit! I think the "sex party" is a great idea! I have seen some where you cut into a cake and it is either pink or blue. Mom said you better tell her (while she shook her fist in the air) :) love ya sis!
