Random

The night after the reveal we flew out to California to visit my brother Josh and his wife Julie. Also to get away for a bit before I can't travel and not want to go anywhere without baby. We had a blast just relaxing, eating at all our favorite places and visiting with family. I took my camera with me but didn't take one single photo see i'm a loser. But here is a recent picture of my brother, his wife and my cousin Kenny. My mom went out there a week later and took this so it is recent.


Here is a recent pregnancy picture of me. I am about 23 weeks. One of my mom's coworkers gave birth about a year ago and she sent me a bunch of her pregnancy clothes, so nice of her. Maternity clothes are sooo expensive so i'm glad that I have things to wear now. :) Thank Aurene.........


The reveal

Okay so it has been awhile, there has been a few things that we have been doing, but i'm a loser and hardly ever take my camera with me. So here is an update on the past month and a half. About a month ago, Tahri and I got to go in for our 20 week ultrasound at which time we could find out what we were having. Well, I made him do something fun with me to reveal the gender. I'm sure others have done this too, but we had the doctor write the results on a piece of paper and put it in the envelope, we then went to target and picked out a girl outfit and a boy outfit, and we bought a gift bag and some tissue paper, so we take our items up to the counter and we tell the cashier, we just got back from the doctor's office and he wrote down on a piece of paper the gender of the baby we are having. We then asked her if she would be willing to open the envelope, look at what the results are, and purchase for us only the outfit that matches what the results are. So blue for boy, purple for girl. She said sure, so we turned around, and like 5 mins later, so tells us she can't tell what the results indicated, but to try another cashier. I said but the doctor typed out the results on the ultrasound you should be able to read it, she goes, I can't. So i'm about to give up and just look, but Tahri says lets just try another cashier, so we wait in line again, and a pregnant woman comes behind us, so i tell her what we are doing and ask her if she can read the results, and she says yup, i can see what you are having, so we ask the next cashier if she can do this thing for us, and the pregnant lady shows her the results and which outfit to purchase for us. Then they wrapped it in the bag so we couldn't see. Then we went to my mother in laws house for dessert and some appetizers and all the family showed up to see the big reveal. So then I open the bag and we all find out together that it is a BOY!!!! :) It was a lot of fun, and my family was sooo good to induldge me. :) Tahri set up a video camera so that my mom could watch online too. It was soo awesome that he thought to do that. And i was glad that my mom was able to be apart of it. She was soo excited to find out all day long, she didn't want to wait. :) So here are a few pictures from that night.

My mother in law is holding up the outfit Tahri and I picked out for the reveal.
