We had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I ran the BoroDash that morning and my goal was to just finish & not walk.. YAY! I did it! It's a 4 mile run through M'boro. Blake & Ella Cate came to cheer me on! I'm so glad that I decided to do it!
Rewind.. On Nov. 17th, we went to the doctor for our 20 week appt. Everything looks healthy with baby. We were worried that we may not be able to tell the gender because baby was all curled up in a ball. The tech wanted me to walk up and down the halls, cough, and lay on my side, and finally she was able to tell that it was a .... GIRL!!! We are so excited for Ella Cate to have a sister just 2 years younger than her. We hope & pray that they are best friends :)
We had a gender reveal party, and let's just say that it didn't turn out EXACTLY how we had it planned. I took the sealed envelope to Party City after the doctor's appt and handed it to the girl working there. I think she was possibly from a different country. She almost started blowing up the pink balloon before I even left the store and she hadn't even looked at the envelope yet! That was my first red flag!! When I finally came back to get the box, I asked if she had done a reveal before and she said this was her first one, but it was really fun, and it is a creative way to announce the gender!! haha!! Not sure she even had a clue still!
Anyways... people at our house, people watching live streamed on the internet and we open the box to find BOTH pink & blue balloons!!! AHHHH!! What in the world??!?! We knew it wasn't twins, but poor girl. She didn't understand! Good thing she put the envelope from the ultrasound tech back in the bottom of the box, because that is the only way we knew for sure!!! So I pulled out the envelope and read "I'm a GIRL" on it!!! Such a fun night!!! We are super excited!!!
