So yesterday was quite the disappointment for me. I had a doctor's appointment & come to find out he is still head up.(breech) I'm not gonna lie I cried a lot after leaving the doctors office. I have been planning a HypnoBirth & I have been so ready, so excited & practicing a ton!! Mike & I have been loving the classes & have been preparing & getting so excited as it gets closer. So this was a slap in the face to me. C-section honestly hadn't even crossed my mind. So they scheduled me for a ECV (External Cephalic Version)on Monday. This is where they manipulate your stomach to get the baby to turn. They have to warn you of the risks, so this freaked me out a lot!! I talked to a bunch of people though & the risks are actually very small. There are more risks just having a baby & way more for a c-section. I am really hoping he will turn on his own before Monday, we are going to try some tricks. If not I will be heading to the hospital Monday praying it works & doesn't put me in labor. They said it's not very comfortable to get done, but they could/would give me drugs. Ha ha not happening, I will get to use my Hypno breathing (surge breathing) ahead of time. After the procedure I have to stay in the hospital for around four hours to monitor the baby & I then go back to get checked again Tuesday. If anyone has had this done please feel free to share. Thanks so much. Wish me luck.

Oh goodness I can't wait to meet this little man!! It is really starting to fly by & I need to get my butt in gear. I really need to start working on turning my amazing Geeked out office into his room (i'm a tiny bit sad). I need to do a lot of cleaning re-organizing & the one thing I want most is a new (HIGH QUALITY) vacuum before he gets here. I have one in mind and I really hope we can sell the van soon so I can get it. Yes we are selling the band van. Lots of good memories in that thing. I am really really going to miss going to the bands shows. Mike & I are both a bit depressed that they are no longer. :(

If any of you mommas have any must have baby gear you would like to share your info with me about that would be great & I can add it to my registry. If there is something you think is pointless or just sucks I would like to hear about that too! Either on here or FB. Thanks :) Have a great day.

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.
