Thanks for the responses! I hope I can hear the heartbeat! But I'll settle for just knowing he/she is snug and safe if need be.
Definitely rent a dress for your baby shower! My sister even got her makeup professionally done so she could look/feel her absolute best that day. I think your body being so unfamiliarly big messes with you and you just want to feel like you look your best! Nothing wrong with that!
Gender reveal parties are so fun!!! My sister had one and it was amazing to find out the sex at the same time she was. Very special. However, I don't have that patience ! My husband and i wanna find out together privately and then we'll have a party to share it with our families in a fun way but we'll already know. Speaking of, how are you guys going to reveal your baby's gender ? Cake ? Balloons ? I love hearing this stuff!
Also, how did you guys tell your families you were pregnant? We haven't told either family yet but want to do it in special and fun way! Ideas welcomed!
