Gender Reveal | Baby Ramirez 2016

I decided to document our pregnancy as a way to get all my feelings and emotions out and to later look and remember this beautiful time in our lives. I hope you enjoy if you decide to follow along on this life changing journey.

Before we were even pregnant, I always knew I wanted to have a gender reveal party and I knew exactly how I wanted the reveal to happen. I think I planned it about 2 or 3 years ago? I told my friend that I would love if she'd throw it all those years ago and she did an amazing job in putting together my vision for us. Thank you, Jess!

Be warned that this post is very picture heavy as words aren't enough to share or describe this beautiful moment in our lives.

At this point, I read all the names everyone suggested for either a boy or a girl. Some were ridiculous but very funny.

Getting ready for the reveal!

and baby Ramirez is a GIRL!!

I think it is hilarious how I am able to read every thought running through Anthony's mind in each of these pictures. How would you caption them?

So thankful for our friends opening their home for us and putting everything together. We are truly blessed.

Here I decided to tell a little narrative from when I was like 8 or 9; my cousin Ericia kicked me in my private parts and I yelled at her "now I can't have babies!!" Obviously her kick way back than didn't affect me like I thought!

I am so glad our friend Nick captured these moments for us, we will truly cherish it for the rest of our lives and can share it with our babygirl.

Pregnancy

First Trimester | Baby Ramirez 2016

Posted by stormieariel

My first trimester was relatively easy compared to what other women go through. The hardest thing I dealt with was lack of energy and heartburn. Within a few weeks after finding out we were expecting our baby, we decided it was best I started working part time instead of full time as my energy level was not even existent. Among this and other things, I also switched employers and went back to work for a school I worked at previously and it was the best decision for us during this time.

Emotions:

I still had a lot of fear during this time of losing the baby. Right before appointments I would be nervous and excited at the same time but also feelings of fear. Anthony was so amazing during this time in reassuring my fears and trying his very best to get me through it. However, once I would hear that little heart beat I couldn't stop smiling and replaying the sounds in my head.

Cravings:

I never really felt like I had pregnancy "cravings" I just now had an excuse to get what I wanted which was hot Cheetos with limon, Funyuns, Coca Cola, skittles and honey buns. The biggest thing was my appetite changed for example I used to love breakfast tacos but now I cannot stand eggs.
