It's a GIRL

As I was laying there in anticipation of the gender reveal I didn't know what to expect I honestly just wanted to hear that everything looked good! But when Matt and Lane came into the room and Sammy told us it was a girl I was so excited and Overwhelmed with emotion that I just started to cry!! It was such a special moment for all of us!

I'm not sure I can put into words how freaking excited I am to be having a girl!! Don't get me wrong I absolutely love my boy and all the love and joy he brings to my life but I could not be happier or feel more blessed to be getting one of each! I seriously feel like I won the jack pot!! Bring on the pink and all the sparkles!!

I have big plans for the nursery and I'll keep you all updated on that once I have everything bought and ready to go! Of course there is going to be a fair amount of pink involved! I have not started shopping clothes yet because I'm honestly not sure where to start?! Where are the best places to shop for girls clothes ladies?

We had our 21 week apt and follow up of the ultrasound and she is looking perfect and im measuring bang on so that is great news!! I am even starting to feel way better! I am only having to take diclectin once a day instead of 3 times so that is huge for me!!

We are dreaming up some beautiful baby girl names and I am just having so much fun imagining what our sweet baby girl will look like! Lane is quite excited and is always wanted to cuddle, kiss and talk to his sister! It melts my heart he keeps asking me when he can actually hold her!! He's going to be the best big brother!

We are feeling so extremely blessed and I  am cherishing every little kick and movement! For now anyways! Haha once she's bigger I may not find it so cute!

4.5 months to go and I hope they fly by I can hardly wait to snuggle my little girl!

19 weeks

6 days people!! I am beyond excited to find out the gender of baby Smith!! Any guesses?!? Ahh I'm seriously more excited for this than Christmas and if you know me you know Christmas is my FAV!! I don't have any real "feelings" I KNEW Lane was a boy I could feel it in my bones but I'm not so sure with this one!! This week better fly by!!

19 weeks I honestly cannot believe I'm already half way through my pregnancy that just seems crazy! I still don't feel great BUT I'm not puking (as long as I remember to take my diclecton) so I'll take it!! Haven't felt any crazy movement but the odd flutter and twinge here and there! Honestly some days I forget I'm pregnant because I'm so busy with Lane and his new found attitude and stubborn-ness I blame his dad on that one!! This week has been tough we are both not feeling good! I'm thankful for my essential oils and Vicks I forgot how awful it is to be sick when your pregnant!! It seriously is just cruel! I'm hoping I'm on the mend now and that we can all be healthy and happy for Christmas!!

What is everyone's Christmas plans?! We are staying home for Matt's bday (Christmas Eve) and then making the rounds to see everyone! We are so lucky to have all of our family so close!! And those that aren't are coming home this year so I'm SO excited about that!! I love Christmas! The lights, decorations, the spirit of the season, the family gatherings, gift giving, great food and wonderful traditions and memories being made. It's so easy to get caught up in all of the hustle and bustle and to forget about the true meaning of Christmas! I'm hoping to take the time to really enjoy Christmas this year and all of my many blessings.

My bump is really starting to show lately and I am finding it a bit harder to do some of my workouts! I'm still doing them don't you worry I'm just taking my time, listening to my growing body and modifying when I need to. It's amazing how much better I feel this pregnancy with staying active and eating healthy, I think that's half the reason why I forget I'm pregnant sometimes! Then when I get dressed I quickly remember! I don't weigh myself because in all honesty I'm not a big lover of the scale to begin with I'm way more about how I feel, so not sure how much weight I've gained but I'm feeling good!

Potty training is getting better every week it seems. Lane is getting so big and I love watching him learn and grow his newest accomplishment is his ABC's we are still working on the counting! He loves reading books and has the best imagination, sometimes to good he is always telling me there are monsters in his room which makes bed time hard but we are working on it! Lane is very stubborn and he tries my patience on the daily. He is also so sweet and loving and I just adore him so very much. Im trying to really cherish these last few months just the two of us one on one time because I know both of our worlds are going to change! I'm excited and nervous and anxious but I know it will be so great. Thank goodness for my amazing hubby who is always there to help me and support me ❤️.

I hope you all have a fantastic rest of your week
