Little Surprises

Well… it’s time to share something I’ve been quietly holding onto: we’re expecting baby #2!

I found out I was pregnant back in January, and even though this pregnancy was planned and hoped for, I’ll be honest—I’ve felt a lot more nervous than excited. I’m slowly getting there, but it’s been different this time around. More layered. More real, maybe.

Pregnancy is such a strange mix of emotions, even when everything is going well. There’s the physical part, sure—but mentally and emotionally, I’ve been treading a little more carefully. It hasn’t all been glowing joy and Pinterest nursery boards. It’s been cautious hope. And that’s okay.

At seven weeks, I decided to take the SneakPeek Gender Reveal blood test. I had used it before with Wren and it was accurate then, so I figured I’d give it another try. The test itself was $79, but I found a $15 discount code, so I ended up paying $64. It’s a simple test you do at home, and a few days later the results landed in my inbox.

It’s a girl.

We were completely surprised. A little sister for Wren—and a new dynamic for our family that we’re just beginning to imagine. At our 20-week anatomy scan, the results were confirmed: a little girl is officially on her way.

For those curious or skeptical, I’ll also mention this: SneakPeek does offer a money-back guarantee if they get the gender wrong. It’s right there in their terms and conditions, which gave me some peace of mind when I ordered it.

She’s due in September, and we’re starting to slowly wrap our heads and hearts around what life with two will look like. I’ll be updating the blog as we go—what we’re learning, what we’re buying (and returning), and how I’m really feeling along the way.

Thanks for being here and reading. I appreciate the quiet support more than you know.
