Gender Reveal!

  I woke up super anxious to the point where I was feeling ill, I truly didn't know if I was going to be able to go. I told myself you've waited for this for sooooo long just suck it up and deal with it. I finished drinking almost a oz of water, what I didn't drink in water I replaced with orange juice in an attempt to get the baby hyper so s/he will show there parts to the tech.

Right before my son and my boyfriend (Devon) and I left the house I started getting the urge to pee, it quickly became torturous. Once we dropped our son off to my parents we headed to go get the ultrasound. After 5 minutes of waiting I found myself lying and waiting. The ultrasound tech walked in and was so kind, she let me watch the entire exam. She asked if I wanted to know the sex of the baby and she told me she would try her best to find out. She started examining different parts  of the baby and every time I thought "I think I see a little noodle!" (I spent 30mins last night researching how the male & females parts appear in a 16-22 week ultrasound scan).

 The ultrasound tech then hovered over a image and at this point I knew she found its parts after a couple minutes of work & I was pretty sure I knew what she was going to say...

  A tear rolled down my cheek and I couldn't help but smile as she told me she was pretty sure it was a girl! Through out the rest of the ultrasound she looked 3/4 more times and she was still convinced it was a girl and so was I.

 I was amazing to see my baby girl! Her legs are so long she didn't even have to bend them much to kick me (which she constantly did). She was facing my back the entire time which explains the back aches I've had non-stop as of recently. At one point she even appeared to smile, it was precious. Just by the ultrasound I can tell she looks nothing like my son (hes his daddys mini me which leaves me to believe she will look more like me).

 After about 40 minutes the tech told me I could use the bathroom and then Devon could come in with me and look at the baby. I was honestly shocked because I thought your bladder had to be full? Anyways after a legit minute of peeing I hurried out and told him we were having a girl (he was shocked just like I was we were so convinced we would have 2 boys). He really wanted a girl before we knew what our son was so I think he didnt want to get his hopes up, hes going to much such a wonderful father to our baby girl it makes me smile just thinking of how things will be like :)

 The rest of the ultrasound went smooth, she checked her heart, feet and legs and let us view her face and body. She looked a couple more times to confirm it was a girl and she was still pretty sure as was Devon (I told him the night prior to what everything would look like).


         Overall I had a fantastic experience it couldn't of gone better and I'm so very happy to finally get to be a mother to a daughter. Mommy, Daddy & your brother can't wait to meet you Julianna <3

   

Anxious...

  Tomorrow I found out the sex of the baby and I find myself feeling so nervous and excited, even scared? After all what if something is wrong with the baby? What if they aren't able to find out the sex? All I want is to be told my baby is ok, and thats its a girl or a boy. I have such a strong nesting urge so not having bought anything is driving me crazy. I'm so anxious I don't even know if I will be able to sleep tonight. I will probably get pictures and I will post them up on Saturday. If I find out the sex that will be announced too. I will do a baby buy blog and probably a youtube video as well. Anyways I'm going to try and stay calm until tomorrow and hope and pray for the best.

Revlon Lip Butter's Collection

   Hey everyone its Jess

 So next week or the week after I will be filming a new makeup collection so I thought now is the perfect time to share with everyone my absolute favorite makeup collection which of course is my Revlon Lip Butters! They seriously are the best lipsticks ever! Yes I consider them a lipstick because of how pigmented they are. I hated lipsticks before I found these babies.

 To me Lipsticks use to mean a high maintenance product that will completely alter your lip color and I found most lipsticks super drying on my already dry lips :( When I heard there was a new super moisturizing lipstick/lip butter hybrid that offered a variety of build-able colours I knew I might of just found my holy grail lip product. I watched countless youtube videos on them and I read so many blog posts and after months of waiting they finally arrived in Canada. I initially bought 3 and fell in love, I plan on buying more as I'm over my "pink lips faze".

 So where can you get these babies if you don't already own them?
I've found them at Walmart and Drugstores :)
In Canada there around $8-12 (When I first bought them I found they were the cheapest at Walmart).

Overall I would rate these a A+
I hope to see more colours and finishes released in the near future! :)

15 & 16 Week Update coming Soon!

Had to get my internet changed so I've been m.i.a and I had a not so great ultrasound experience (the lady was a ****) so ya updates will be posted within the next 4 days! Sorry for the wait...

Ultrasound!

 So I'm booking my doctor apt tomorrow, if I can get in on Thursday I will not have my pregnancy update on Wednesday. If I go to my Doctors on Thursday and she can get me a ultrasound on Friday then I won't have up a blog post probably until Saturday or Sunday because there is a good chance they will tell me the sex of the baby and I will want to go shopping and I already have a few plans for both days.


   Anyways I thought I would share a ultrasound pic of my son who is now 1 & a Half :)

                                          He was 20/21 weeks, he loved to kick me lol


  I'm so excited for this upcoming ultrasound. I can't wait to see my wittle baby! <3
