Long post guys, but whenever I think of this pregnancy, a smile grows on my face and my heart feels warm😌

I don’t even know where to start.. I’m really good at over sharing so I want to stay on topic lol. I have a (almost) 2 year old daughter. I love her to bits. She’s the light of my life and my whole world. I had THE most amazing pregnancy with her. I wasn’t sick too much and I was just a happy pregnant person. I loved being pregnant. When it was over I was like wow there’s going to be nothing in my life that I experience that will be the same as that ever again. I thought “my next pregnancy will be different because I’ll have a baby to take care of” and while that’s not untrue it’s definitely not a bad thing. Anyways. I remember the day we went in for the anatomy scan. Both her daddy and I were hoping for a boy sooo bad. But we had names picked out for both genders so we were prepared for either. I dressed in baby blue shorts, and blue tank top and I even pained my nails blue lmao. I was over the top. Then that ultrasound tech asked if we wanted to know the gender and we said yess! Then... “You’re having a girl” came out. I don’t want to be dramatic but I was a little disappointed. But happy to know. Our little Lucy Rose would be joining us in 20 short weeks. fast forward: (we all know the disappointment quickly faded and Lucy was the best thing to ever happen to us) and it’s August 2018. We aren’t planning to get pregnant until summer of 2019. Went on a family trip to a place we always go to every summer. Dad and I were in a tent and we’re over come by the feeling to TTC for a baby boy. I knew I was ovulating based on my cycle and discharge. This was August 1st. We went back home and I ordered 25 pregnancy tests offline. August 10 comes around and I get my tests in. Perfect, I’m 10 dpo and now I can start testing. BIG FAT NEGATIVE. 11 dpo BFN. 12 dpo BFN. 13 dpo BFN. I’m losing hope lol. But 14 dpo comes around and I’m literally expecting nothing and I pee on that stick and I saw it immediately. A faint line. I’m over come with joy! I knew I was pregnant. I tested every day continuously to get my BFP lol. It came on 16 dpo. FAST FORWARD (sorry this post is long I know) I wouldn’t let my self think about the gender of the baby. I felt like if I obsessed over it like last time I’d jinx the baby into being a girl lol (I know it doesn’t work like that but still lol) also I knew I would love to give my daughter either a brother or a sister and be more than happy. But I didn’t let myself get my hopes up. Anyway last week I went into my 12 week appt (11 weeks and 5 days) we got to see the baby and it was nice. My midwife offered me a genetic test that screens for chromosomal abnormalities, but can also determine the gender at an early stage in pregnancy just by drawing my blood. Of course I agree. Not only would I love to know I’m having a healthy baby, I’d love to know the gender. So last Monday I did the test. She said it would be about 2 weeks for the results. I knew it would be less but my dumb ass self has no self control and I checked the online records every day. Friday came around and the urine sample got put into the online records so I knew that by Monday the blood results would be in. I told my SO I don’t want to find out with out you there so if they call and you’re not around I’m not going to answer lol I’ll call them back. 10 am on Monday morning FINALLY comes around and my SO aid still sleeping while I feed my daughter some cereal my phone starts ringing. I saw it was my drs office and I yelled DEAN WAKE UP THEYRE CALLING THEYRE GONNA TELL US THE GENDER!!! That got him up lol. He was hugging onto my waist while I sat next to him on the bed. “Hi Kacie this is so and so from Chena ob and we got your blood test results back. All of the genetic testing looks good nothing came back positive so that looks good” she was talking so slow I’m like yeah yeah get to the good part lol “this test can also determine the sex of the baby, would you like me to tell you now or would you like me to send it in an envelope?” NOWW “you can just tell me now”

“Okay well you’re going to have a boy”

OHHH MYYY GOODDD ARE YOU SERIOUS?!?! I yelled. These next moments were a blur lol. I was so happy I immediately started crying and I apologized for yelling and told her how happy I am and to have a super fantastic nice day and I’d do the same lol. It’s so amazing guys. Every single time I think about this baby I feel like I light up. I don’t want to discredit my first pregnancy because I was so happy then but I’m just over the moon. I’m going to have a baby boy and I have a baby girl and things couldn’t be more perfect. We get to carry on my SO’s last name as he’s the only boy in his family. And that’s really special to our whole family. We are all over joyed. If you read this far you’re a champ and all this back story was just to reveal that I’m having a baby boy and I’m so so so happy and everything I’ve been doing I’ve been doing with a smile because God blessed us so good and i am so grateful. Thanks for reading guys.
