Maternity wear- PinkBlush Maternity

As my bump continues to grow I really understand the importance of comfort. My belly is growing much faster as this is considered my fourth pregnancy. It's hard to find comfy clothes especially when you are pregnant. I've found that maxi dresses are usually the most comfortable. I just received my maternity dress from PinkBlush maternity in the mail and fell in love! It is both comfortable and cute for my growing bump. If you haven't checked out PinkBlush Maternity yet I recommend doing so!

15 week update..giveaway coming soon!

I had another check up with my little angel girl this past few weeks. Brielle Ann and I got to listen to her heartbeat with the doppler for the first time. It was such a beautiful sound and the doctor was able to find my sweet girl's heart immediately! Everything seemed to be going on track and I had the second part of my genetic screening lab drawn. I can't wait for the moment when I began to feel this little girl move. I started feeling Brielle Ann around 17 weeks so I know it could be any day now. I'm still so overjoyed that our family is growing. I couldn't have asked for any bigger of a blessing. She will make our family feel complete. God continues to answer our prayers and without my faith I would have never gotten this far.

We were anxiously waiting a much needed mini vacay with our friends over the weekend!

Stay tuned for a giveaway with PinkBlush Maternity in the coming weeks! And below is my growing bump :)

Gender reveal!

The big day finally arrived when we would share the news with our family and friend... the baby's gender! We waited a few weeks before Charles' family was up from Texas to share the news. We had a small reveal with just our immediate family at my parents' house. I purchased a HUGE confetti balloon from Etsy that had either blue or pink inside. I also had a beautiful cake made with our baby's name to share his/her name. Our family cast their votes and then it was time to share our BIG news!

We are excited to announce we will be welcoming a girl in December! Her name is Haven Rose and we couldn't be more excited to give Brielle Ann a little sister. She will be the best gift this coming Christmas!

Keep following along for more pregnancy updates and family fun this Summer!

Boy or Girl? And genetic screening

Before my 11 week ultrasound I received a call with my recent blood work results. All of the genetic screening came back normal which was wonderful! They also had the results of the baby's gender. :) It's amazing that we could find out the gender so early in the pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Brielle we had to wait till 19 weeks. Now they can tell the gender with the baby's blood that crosses over the placenta. I had the nurse write down the gender on a card that I could pick up at my appointment that day.

Charles was able to make it with me to my ultrasound appointment and I was beyond excited to see our baby again! Our little one was quite stubborn at first but with a little help from the ultrasound tech the little one began squirming all around. Our baby appeared to look healthy and we received a call later from my OB that the ultrasound results showed no concerns.

The envelope with our baby's gender sat on the dinner table for a few hours. It took some major willpower not to open the envelope! Once Charles got home he went straight for the envelope. It wasn't exactly the plan but I figured we could find out together before our reveal. It was so funny to watch him try to sneak a peak through the envelope before opening it. We opened the envelope and..... stay tuned for the gender!
