The most exciting part of this appointment was scheduling our ultrasound to find out the gender! That appointment is currently scheduled for the week of July 21st. We are planning on having a very small gender reveal party with immediate family and a few close friends on the 27th. We will probably find out before everyone but that could change. I just have a feeling we won't be able to say no to finding out when I am at the doctor's office getting my ultrasound. I am so ready to start planning out the nursery!
Once we find out the gender we will start registering too. We already have some of the big ticket items picked out (crib, car seat, stroller, etc.) but let me tell you, it is overwhelming how many items a baby needs and all the options! I really want to be a very practical mommy so that is why I will be recruiting the help of some very dear new mommy friends to help with the registering process. I am so grateful to have amazing people with experience and great advice. I can't wait to pay it forward with my knowledge someday.
One exciting new development is that I am starting to feel movement! It feels like a little flutter in my stomach. It is the coolest feeling! It's still so surreal that a human being is inside of me and I don't feel pregnant at all, mostly bloated, so feeling the movement is reassuring and makes it even more exciting!
