I had big plans to do a cute photoshoot for our gender reveal — but alas this photo was the best I could do with a grumpy model who wasn’t too interested :) I never got it together for Piper’s either, or maternity photos for that matter.
We debated back and forth for many weeks about finding out the gender of our baby or letting it be a surprise this time around. I really thought I wanted to try something different and not find out but as the weeks past I really found myself just wanting to KNOW! At the very last minute before we went into the waiting room we decided to just find out as they were doing the ultrasound (we thought about having the doctor write it and put it in an envelope for us) and I’m so excited to say we are having another GIRL!!!
I really, really wanted a girl with my first baby. I mean I REALLY wanted a girl. I was so nervous and anxious heading into that first ultrasound! With my second pregnancy I felt myself wanting another girl again, I grew up with a sister and really hoped Piper could experience that herself but I was also excited about the idea of having a boy! I can’t wait to get out all of Piper’s baby clothes and start getting things ready now (if you read my 20 week pregnancy update you’ll know we haven’t done a single thing yet!) to prepare for our baby. Something about seeing the baby at the anatomy scan and finding out the gender makes everything feel more real and I feel so much more connected to this little girl now.
Yay! So happy for you, Caitlin!
