Gender Reveal Party

To start I was running behind so these pictures are crappy....
I had planned on getting set up and taking pictures before the fam arrived, but I was still finishing when they arrived. OOPS! Not to mention the lighting in my house is HORRIBLE. 

Anyways it was such a blast, it was so much fun to get both of our families together. The people we love most and tell them all at the same time. I highly recommend it.



This was on the front door.

We had a name suggestion board, and a sweets table.






NACHO BAR!

 Look at these two huge babies :)


 Melyn & Griff's kiddos were loving all the sugar I provided.


 Cute lil Grandpa sporting the pink & blue.



The youngest cousins my baby boy will have(for now).
These two will teach him to wrestle.

 Getting ready for the big reveal with the huge balloon.
I was a little scared to pop it.

 Dang chandelier.





I think almost everybody was wanting a girl, but the Mr. and I were wanting a boy. We would have been happy with either, but we are over the moon with the fact that it's a boy!
We are so lucky, and  I can't wait ti meet the little guy.
Thank you so much to all of our family for coming.
It was really really fun, a memory I will always cherish.

20 Weeks-Whoot whoo half way!!!


Yay the second trimester is so much better. I feel like a new woman! It's still not as great as being not pregnant, but yep way better. Why do some women say they looovvveee being pregnant? they are nutters if you ask me. There is no "GLOW", my hair sucks, my skin- oh myyyy ha ha 15 yr old. Ha ha I just think it's funny. Don't get me wrong it'll be worth it, I just think people tend to lie about being pregnant. Anyways...
I am really starting to get quite the belly! On the other hand I am having a hard time this last couple of days. I think "Am I sure I want to raise a kid in this crazy world?" Well it's a bit late to wonder if I want to, I am a bit overprotective (just ask my siblings, I drove them crazy trying to tell them what do & mothering  the hell out of them.) I am worried for this child, oh man I am so overbearing & nosy. Hopefully they won't hate me too bad in the teenage years! ha ha
