Gender Reveal!!!!!


Gender Reveal!!!!

Our baby is a boy and Dave and I are both over the moon with excitement and cant wait to meet him in 2014. I really couldn't hide how happy I was at finding out about the sex of the baby I had been carrying for the past 5 months. The gender reveal box was a real labor of love as it took me around 2 hours to make, my photographer loved it so much I told her she could have it. When we have our next child I will make a new box. Here are a few pictures from the gender reveal we did Sunday September 22nd in Dallas, I am 21 weeks in these pictures.

20 Weeks and Counting...


20 Weeks and Counting

We have made it to twenty weeks and I am feeling incredible blessed. The heart rate I see on my home doppler is always in the 150s and each time I hear their little heart, my heart swells just a little  more. The baby has been incredible active for the past two weeks and their "kicks" make me feel so happy, Dave hasn't felt the baby move but I can't wait to see his face when he does. Being pregnant after a miscarriage has brought so many challenges, the biggest one has been me fearing another loss. At this point in my pregnancy I won't say I feel overly confident, but I am definitely feeling  comfortable about reaching parenthood with Dave.


Next week we will know what gender baby Lokey is and I am getting more exited by the day. We both think that baby is a girl, but would never be disappointed if we were having a boy. I just want to know so badly, because with that knowledge comes all the fun stuff. Planning the nursery, buying clothes that are gender specific (no more yellow for us lol), and registering for our baby shower which we plan to do at the end of the month.

I also wanted to update everyone on my recent purchases. Baby Lokey now officially has 8 cloth diapers and because I got a little carried away with the cost of those diapers I am now on a freeze until next month. We have also purchased the nursery furniture, which is still packed away in boxes in our formal dining room. I really have no clue when we will get around to physically putting things up in the nursery, but I will begin buying decor when we know the gender.  Here is a picture of the furniture, I wanted a modern look for the nursery as well as white furniture which I believe will make the room appear larger and sleek.
