uh oh 🤦🏻‍♀️ where did this little blue balloon come from? that’s the question. now what’s the story behind these pink and blue balloons?

😳 😱 💙 if anybody knows my balloon story; you’d know why i’m kinda freaking out right now.

back last summer before derek and i found out when we were pregnant for baby E; we were trying for like 8-10 months; i thought i had a fertility issue so we just stopped trying... then when we came home from dinner one night unloading groceries too, he noticed a pink balloon floating to our backyard and it just hovered in our backyard and it was windy and it wasn’t leaving our area.... so he goes over to it and grabs it and says i bet you were gonna have a girl; and i said yeah right. thinking he was joking. well the month of may hit and we went to go get shoes for him and i had to go potty so i snuck some pregnancy tests with me from the house and took one in subway and i was reading a plus sign and it was mother’s day. and i was like wait a minute.... i took a second one and it was more clear to see that we were pregnant 😃 i came out of the bathroom and told derek and he said “see what did i tell ya?” “it’s a girl” && then months and months went by and found out forsure we were having a 🎀 GIRL 🎀! all because of that little balloon, i had faith that i was finally gonna get my girl! and i did!! and she is beautiful!

After baby E was home from the hospital, we got nestled in & sat down and relaxing on the couch and our other three kiddos were running around playing and derek got up to get something from the kitchen and bent down and picked this little blue balloon up from the ground and said “ hey woman ? “ and i said “ yeah? “ he showed me the balloon and i said “ you’ve got to be kidding me “
