The Reveal

As many now know, I am pregnant! We are super excited and it really does fly by more so with the second one! I mean...I didn't even post it on social media until I was 18 weeks...! :) I am already 23 weeks and growing! growing!...and since it is the second one I know what my precious preggo body does and I am so looking forward to that look during summer sun weather....

Aunt Natalie was so sweet and wanted to throw a reveal party to see what Baby Seifritz would be. It was such an exciting day! With a reveal, nobody knew what the sex of the baby was (except the DR and Party City) until that night when everyone was together. It is a memory I will cherish forever!

At the beginning of my pregnancy, I wasn't going to find out what I was having. I thought it would be fun. I didn't really tell people I wanted to do this because I knew I would get talked out of it....well Tman talked me out of it. Two days after I found out I was pregnant and before I told family, his teacher texted me. She wrote" Pardon my question, but are you pregnant? The only reason I am asking is because Turner has been going around all week telling us he's getting a baby sister" From that moment on....Turner KNEW it would be a girl! I was shocked that he was even saying anything because it's not like we sat him down and told him I was pregnant. He just knew.

Before the reveal and the day I found out I was pregnant, this is how I told Addison:

'Bun in the oven!'

(He makes it look like he didn't know it was coming or something)

 

I wan'ted to do something fun for him because last time I was still in shock and just blurted it out with his back to me when he got home from work. So fun!

Chugging right along.. so blessed I have had the exact type of pregnancy I had with Turner..no morning sickness and healthy baby! I don't really remember January-March because I was so exhausted and slept a lot like I did with Turner, but that's better than sickness I know!  LUCKILY, Turner went through this phase of loving playing pretend like he was putting me to sleep in his bed, reading me books, and letting me 'sleep' and then coming to wake me up. I am thinking...is this kid for real?? So I just played along and layed in his bed and closed my eyes. So nice.

Speeding right along....I started showing WAY, WAY sooner than I did with Turner...so I was a little nervous because I bought my bridesmaid dress the same day I found out I was pregnant and then POOF the belly starts.

This is maybe 10-12 weeks...??

The little feet in the upper right! and the Big Bro left side!

I am never really good at taking belly bump pictures. I think this is now about 21-22 weeks, maybe.

 

Aunt Nat made the CUTEST invite!! I love it!

 

 

So! The big reveal was so fun!! The pictures 'reveal' so much of cuteness Aunt Nat did and sweetness she put into making it extra special for everyone! Shugie was sweet and let us have the fun reveal at her house! I can't wait to show Baby Girl Seifritz the love she already had!

 

Addison didn't agree with all my answers :)

 

Cute hostess!

 

One thing everyone was to wear the color they thought the baby would be! It was fun watching everyone walk in and see what they were thiking.

 

Turner was so excited about this night! He talked about it forever. I was hoping he didn't think his baby sister was IN the box!

 

 

 

Both teams

 

 

Team Pink

 

Team Blue

 

It was much anticipation! We had pizza before the reveal and while eating I felt like a kid at Christmas just not able to wait much longer!

 

Now for the play-by-play reveal:

Natalie wanted to do balloons and I LOVED that and so did Tman!

It's a girl!

 I was shocked. I really thought a boy.

It was so fun when the balloons popped open and everyone was cheering and all..such a great memory!

 

I literally got wrapped up in the baloon excitement and many were shocked I jumped in the air on steps, in wedges, pregnant. :) Just couldn't hold in the excitement!

It's a girl! It's a girl! IT's a girl!

 

What was so funny is there was no 'surprise' from Turner. He probably didn't understand exactly what was going on..but when we told him he was having a sister..he looked at us like..'yeah...I told you all that'

 

Aunt Nat made it even more fun and had a drawing! Turner got to pick the gift and that person one a prize!

A friend gave me this superman shirt for Tman. I love it. He will be a wonderful superhero big brother. The diapers and such were such a sweet gesture from all.

 

 

It was such a fun evening!

 I loved that Natalie took the time to put it all togheter for us. I was so happy Shugie let us reveal at her beautiful home! Like I said before, can't wait to show baby girl Seifritz the love she is already receiving!

 

Now I know you are thinking....so what's her name???
