One of the hardest changes I have had to make since I found out I was pregnant was decreasing my caffeine intake. For me, caffeine is my favorite (specifically coffee). Every morning Wade and I have a cup of coffee together, in the afternoons I always enjoy a little pick-me-up and in the evenings I love making a Wade’s Latte for dessert. Since you actually can have caffeine when you are pregnant, I opt for my normal cup of coffee in the morning with Wade, skip the afternoon cup and then enjoy a decaf Wade’s Latte in the evenings. Wade’s Latte’s have become quite a thing around our house so I thought it would be fun way to incorporate the way I told you guys that WE ARE HAVING A BOY!
A couple of weeks ago when I revealed that we were expecting our first baby mid-July I was SO excited to share the news with you all but in the back of my mine I was even more thrilled to share that we are having a boy! A BOY!! A little baby boy!!
There is something about finding out the gender of your baby that makes it seem so much more real. When I got the call from the nurse telling us that we were having a boy I have never been in more shock. Honestly, we were more shocked to find out it was a boy than when I figured out I was pregnant (if you read this post you know how SHOCKED we were).
For some reason Wade has ALWAYS said that we would have girls, so when I told him we were having a boy he could not believe it. He was not only so shocked (like me) but he was over the moon. Having grown up with two younger sisters, I am totally clueless about boys but I cannot wait to learn as much as possible! I know I am just going to love being a boy mom (eeeekkkk!).
Thank you all for the continued support and following along on my fun little journey to motherhood!
p.s. I cannot wait to show you all the cute baby boy clothes that I have already gotten!
