So once Alex and I arrived I checked in at the desk and went to the back to go to the bathroom, get weighed in and have my blood pressure checked. After that I went back out front and waited with Alex until our doctor was ready to see me. He was running behind on all his appointments that day so we seemed to wait -what seemed to me- forever.
When we were called back surprisingly we didn't have to wait for him to come see us. So as normal he asked me the standard questions. How was I feeling, has anything changed since my last appointment, etc etc.
I finally got on the bed and lifted up my shirt. I was so excited! I love hearing my baby's heartbeat and seeing him. It's always reassuring! So first my doctor measured his head. From there we found out I am a few days further than thought! I thought I was 13 weeks and 4 days but turns out I had already come up on 14 weeks! Whoo!!
After looking at the heart and spine my doctor started heading down towards the butt, that's when Alex and I looked away. I told him that if he could tell what the gender was we didn't want to know. He was kind of surprised but did as we asked. After he was done he left to go write the results down. When he came back he handed us a sealed envelope.
Okay fast forward to Sunday. That was the day we were having our gender reveal party! All of our friends and family were coming over to my home to find out what Alex and I were having. My best friend Cassie threw a beautiful party! Seriously. I loved everything about it. (besides the fact my front room couldn't hold everyone comfortably) She really brought mine and Alex's personalities into the decorations and food. I'm so grateful to have a friend who really knows me and puts her all into something that was important to both Alex and I. :) Love you Cassie!!
Okay so while most of the adults were upstairs in the front room chatting, the kids were in the kitchen eating and us cool people were downstairs watching the football game. Go Broncos! ;)
Finally it was time to gather everyone upstairs so we could cut the cake. I was getting so nervous! (for a split second I didn't want to cut the cake! I wasn't ready to find out!) So we first cut into the cake I still couldn't tell. When we cut into it again and pulled the knife out I caught a glimpse of the color! I screamed! I was SO excited! A BOY!!! Haha I'm more than sure I was the happiest one in the room. Everyone else (including Alex) wanted a girl. Me? I wanted a boy :) Of course my main priority is that the baby is healthy!!
Wyatt had no idea what the heck was going on. Haha that boy. He cracks me up!! I love him. I'm going to absolutely miss it just being him and me during the day. I know this sweet little addition will be welcomed warmly...maybe not by Wyatt..haha he doesn't think much of it so far.
Best. Straws. Ever! So cute!
Beautiful cupcakes!
Some of the party people!
My dad is so funny! *note my sarcasm*
Don't mind my asian eyes. I was crying :)
Getting excited! What is it?!?!
He doesn't understand what's going on but he's happy still.
Wyatt was tired. What a cutie. I love him!
We are great at cutting cake.
I caught a glimpse of the color!!So those are some of the pictures that were taken. If you know me I love pictures but am terrible at taking them! I'm glad I at least have some to remember this special moment. <3
