Hello my loves,

Pink or Blue?!?!?

I’m happy to announce that we are indeed expecting a little girl!

We are both over the moon and feel so blessed she’s perfect and I’m so in love already. We actually found out when I was 16 weeks pregnant though my husband couldn’t believe it! It’s the first girl in his family in over 29 years so yes they are all super excited for her arrival. She does have a name I might share that soon when I show you her nursery which we started working on this week. We placed an order on her furniture last Saturday it all seems so real now. I can’t believe we are over half way, and that soon enough she will finally be here!

I have never felt happier than now. She is truly a blessing, and my heart goes out to anyone with fertility problems. I’ve been there and I know no matter how much people say you will get there the pain does not get better if anything it hurts more. But believe me when I say, once you are all the hurt and tears will be worth it and they only made you stronger. All I can say is better days will come, cry if you need to scream your heart out. I remember so many nights I would just cry for no reason the pain was SO deep…

As I sit here and type this I’m being kicked from the inside a little reminder that life gets better, chin up my love. Every little pain still scares me, because I’m scared in a blink of an eye she’ll be gone. I just want it to be February already so I can hold her finally. For now let the shopping carry on! Just how cute are baby things?!?! I can’t stop myself from buying, I think she pretty much has enough clothes to get her by but I don’t think I’m ready to stop!
