Gender Reveal

And the wait is over -

Maternity 21 results

So two weeks and two days ago I took the maternity 21 test. It's super simple to do and take two weeks for results. Awesome. I knew I'd have my nt scan before the results but wanted the test anyway.

Today I called and the the results are all negative. Yay. I knew things were ok because the nt scan went great. 

Then there is the gender. I did ask. And I've read a few things saying the earlier you do the test the more likely it is to be inaccurate for gender. But I think that's more in regards to girl results vs boy results. Not sure though. 

Anyway our results are in and it said we are having a

!!!!! BOY!!!!!!!!

I'm not shocked. I had boy feelings off and on. And two dreams where I had another boy. 

Gender Feelings

I haven't had any feelings yet on what we're having but today I had this "feeling" it's a boy. And as much as I want a girl I'm surprised that the thought of another boy doesn't sadden me. I love raising my little man and for him to have a brother would be pretty awesome too.

Pregnancy announcement and gender reveal ideas

Trying to not lose track of my thoughts.

Announcement:
The rumors are true - it's time for baby #2
Juice it up cups in multiple sizes
Leiland with chalkboard announcing
Leiland with ultrasound picture
Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way...oh what fun it is to say "a baby's on the way!


Gender reveal:
Photoshoot with pink or blue balloon coming out of a box
Send Tim a box of balloons pink and blue, make him pop them to reveal the gender.
Send Trevor a banner or something to announce the gender
Send Tim cake in a jar, pink or blue
Send Tim a compilation video of Leiland, and at the end have him announce gender

CVS results and gender

So I got the call today to tell us the results from our CVS. There are NO chromosome abnormalities with out precious little bean. I am SO happy to hear this great news. They offered some additional testing but I don't feel it's necessary. I am happy with this. Now we just wait to see how the heart looks as it grows and see whats up with the arm.

And, we now know we are having a Little GIRL!!!

DH and I are so excited, we both really wanted a girl, but would be happy either way. I am so happy right now.
