LIFESTYLE JOURNAL: GENDER REVEAL









Oh my gosh… I’ve dreamed about this post since the moment I found out I was pregnant. Our doctor is super cool and let’s us come in and do ultrasounds more often than usual just to get extra time with our babe and see those precious ultrasound shots. Around 10 weeks, our doctor took a guess at the gender and was pretty confident… BOY! Even at that early stage, we saw (lol!) what the doctor was talking about. Around 11 weeks, the gender was confirmed through the blood test.
We couldn’t be happier about our sweet, baby boy. Finding out the gender was the moment I felt that instant, deeper connection with our baby. I am obsessed with my husband and his mannerisms, and the thought of having a mini Anthony just melts me. I go out of my way to say “I love my boys” on a daily basis. I’ve searched the Internet for BOY MOM tshirts. I day dream about watching my husband and son play then our little boy coming to me to console him when he falls and scrapes his knee. I joke that I’m going to mold him into a mommy’s boy, but I just know my husband and son will have a connection that only God could create.
Oh and Anthony… as I’m sure you can imagine, thrilled doesn’t describe the level of happiness he has for having a built in best buddy for life. The day we found out, he went out and purchased all sorts of “boy things” that he and our son would bond over for the next decade or two. I’m sure this sounds crazy but when Anthony talks to me for an extended period of time (in his loud, expressive voice), our baby goes crazy in my belly and pushes himself close to the surface. You’d think I’m kidding but this happens way more than what is coincidental. I get a little jealous and will be upping my tummy talking time lol.
Needless to say, our baby boy is the light of our lives already. We play THIS SONG often and, of course, I cry over the line, “we like fixing things and holding mama’s hand. Yeah we’re just alike. Hey, ain’t we, dad.”
Throughout my pregnancy, I’ve been so taken back by the amount of love and support you’ve shown my growing family. Thank you so much. It means more to me than I can put into words!
