hey yo welcome to the vlog so today
sorry I mean to me you can probably hear
the vacuum cleaner going in the
background Bruce is doing his job I know
what you're thinking where's Robbie or
you might not be thinking that I like
Robbie needs a new battery so Rob Easton
over there Bruce it's the shark where
Bob did it short Bruce so he's in there
doing his thing and the dishwasher you
might hear that come on here shortly
maybe not the dishwasher she's not very
loud anyway so today for the vlog I want
to talk to you guys about all things
gender-reveal we're coming up on it
buddy it just it is creeping up on us
and I'm excited I'm a little anxious I
feel like as soon as I got pregnant
everybody's been like guessing and
saying what I thought it was gonna be
since the very beginning so it'll be
nice to know finally what it is and I'll
be able to find some stuff I haven't
really bought anything because I kind of
want to wait I don't want to really just
get something soon or nurture I kind of
want something that I feel like it's for
this baby you know what I mean am I
being too butch I'll be next ring but I
thought once I know it's a boy or girl
I'll be able to like really figure out
what I want to get the theme that I want
to do for like nursery stuff and we
still got so much that we're like trying
to figure out um if we're gonna move oh
gosh that's like a whole nother thing in
itself and that's another reason why I
hadn't really bought anything cuz I'm
like where am I going to put it so if we
end up staying where we are my studio
will turn into the nursery this room
that is technically Cody's room will
then turn into my studio to a certain
degree I'm gonna have to put up on like
my studio equipment my lights and stuff
but other than that pretty sure that's
what this room's going to be and we're
just gonna work with what we got and
then we'll just do that for the time
being because we're thinking we might
end up building and
I don't know if I want to be pregnant
and build in and all that I know people
doing that's doing it but I don't know I
don't know if I don't want to be like
waiting for a nursery to put stuff in
and the house won't be done for another
3 month you know what I mean like I
don't want to know if I want I don't
know if I want to be waiting on
something like that and we only have how
many five months to go you know what I
mean I don't know I'm still on the fence
about all that if we nice if I could
just find something that we just loved
that was already built in a great area
exactly what we wanted him maybe we'd
have to go and like change some stuff
cosmetic wise but as if right now I
haven't seen anything so back to the
gender-reveal so I've been planning that
for the last week or so we already set a
date and we sent out invitation for that
so a week before the actual gender
reveal we'll go to a 3d ultrasound place
because my doctor's office does not do
like I don't have another ultrasound
until them 20 weeks and I didn't want to
wait until the way the way it falls in
my twenty week appointment we're
planning on going on our babymoon like
right around the time and it would have
put us wait until it came back and I
kind of want to know before we go so I
figured we would just go to ultrasound
place that way I can take in some more
family and that'll be nice for all of us
do that together so I thought that would
be pretty cool for us to do something
like that and I wanted to see it to make
sure I know a lot of people told me to
do the blood test so do I'm sneak peek
or some of the other things and I'm not
against that I just was scared that I
was going to do it wrong and get an
answer and actually the other gender so
at least with the ultrasound they can
see it you know but it'll be a surprise
to all of us I do have two friends I
will not say who they are because I do
not want people to try to attack them
with social media to figure out what it
is because I feel like that's gonna
happen
um so I'm not going to say who the
keeper of the genders are keeper of the
gender or weight there's only one gender
even I had a dream that I had to
there was a boy and a girl so I keep
picking at Cody and I'm like what if
there was one hiding behind the other
one and they just didn't see it at our
ultrasound I just I know there's only
one it would shock the heck out of me if
there wasn't too it will literally shock
the crap out of me but so as far as
gender-reveal stuff goes I'm going to
show you all what I've been looking at
so pretty much everything that i'ma get
is off of Amazon so first I wanted to
decide what we were going to do as the
actual reveal itself initially when we
first got married almost five years ago
I said that I wanted to do the whole
shooting the gun thing and go up in
smoke at that time I only knew one
person that had done that and I didn't
know them personally and in the five
years that it's been since that video
went viral so many people has done it so
I didn't want to do it but I still
wanted something kind of big that made
it like a big you know that you could
really really see it I kind of thought
about fireworks but I knew that
photography videography is not the
greatest in the dark so I wanted you to
be able to see people's reaction and it
might be hard in the dark so I'm like
okay no I don't want to do fireworks and
I definitely want video and photography
because I want to be able to keep this
stuff for a while so we decided on these
like cannon things and you guys you'll
have to wait for the extra gender-reveal
we are going to video it it will be up
like the day after it happens because I
don't want people to have to keep it a
secret for long and I know I'm not gonna
be able to hold water so I'm gonna edit
it like immediately after it's over and
get it up immediately as soon as I can
but I want all pink and blue everything
I want a pink and blue it out this is my
opportunity to do this I have waited
forever to do this I know some people
don't go this route and do like the
whole gender-reveal party and all the
things but y'all I have wanted this for
the longest time so I'm going all out
for everything hello so pink and blue
everything
the theme is twinkle twinkle little star
how we wonder what you are
I thought it was really cute and it
wasn't to like played out I know people
have done it but I didn't see too much
about it there was a bunch of like B
parties and ducks and a bunch of that
like mister missus and touchdowns and
tutus and like all that stuff
I didn't want to technically do that I
knew a long time ago I kind of wanted to
do guns or roses because guns and roses
I thought that was really neat but then
I start thinking about decorating for a
guns or roses party I was like how am i
how am I going to decorate for that but
if you're having a gender reveal and you
think guns are roses is cute
feel free to run with it I don't know
what you're gonna decorate with but I'm
sure there's a way you can decorate it
make it cute but I wanted to do all the
thinking blue everything so there's so
many things on Amazon and I made a list
that y'all can shop it if you're also
shopping for a gender-reveal too I will
link it down below in the description
box I'm also working on some other like
pregnancy maternity related lists on
Amazon I'll link those down there too I
got some maternity clothing just
different stuff that I'm working on on
here to make it easier for y'all but let
me show you they literally have like
everything on here but I'm gonna look at
my nails they're growing like insanely
fast and I don't know what to do with
them but they have the balloons so I
think I'm getting this set because that
you can make the balloon Garland it
comes with all of the different balloons
or stickers there's necklaces if you
want people to like pick the team that
their own there's even like the old
wives tale board I'm ordering that
putting a frame there's this balloon set
I thought these were cute probably get a
couple of those to hang up there's these
little cupcake Peaks then there's this
cake topper I need to see if we need
that or not more balloons oops there's
this garland it's really really cute
obviously you have to put this stuff
together but it comes with everything in
there for you to put it together if you
ever wondered how to put look at the
balloon garland again
there's another one they got so many
different things and I know I'm getting
the s right here I thought this was
really neat to hang up as a backdrop and
we'll do like the balloon the balloon
garland or whatever around it and we
could do the cake in the middle
cupcakes whatever on the table but
there's so many different ones on Amazon
I did not know that this was like a
thing that you could buy on Amazon but
it has our theme on it there's a couple
different ones if you don't like this so
if you're having a party looking that
shows you different ideas and where
people's put that where they've used
that banner this is one that I was
looking at and I did really like this
one but I was scared that this black
would just be a little too dark so when
I found that lighter when I thought it
was perfect but if you like this black
and you cover it you know put some light
pink and light blue balloons around it
they got to be really cute but then it
shows like customers also about these
items I mean look at all the look at all
the stuff thank God I got a little
stickers for water bottles if you want
to be that extra they got was that
saying oh this little plate say twinkle
twinkle little star
should I get those I wasn't going to get
anything like that buddy that I had that
I'm always tempted to get those I
probably won't look at hair if you want
the big balloon to pop for the
gender-reveal they got labs look at
their the draw no - I noticed I mean
Amazon has everything like seriously
look at their even have the invitation
just to write it out so cute more cake
toppers that's cute - so the cake has
been ordered I'm going to order some
stuff right now sit here and figure out
all the things that I want to order and
go ahead and get those ordered and have
them sent to where we're having it
because it will not be here so I'll have
all the stuffs in there so then I don't
have to take it there it'll just be
there I don't have to try to remember
everything to take I showed the dress
that I'm wearing to the gender-reveal in
my most recent clothing haul if you
haven't seen that go watch
it it is yellow pink and blue it's
really cute and it's very springy and
it's really comfortable in light weight
I got from TJ Maxx so if you're looking
for an idea of what to wear to your own
gender reveal maybe go wash that to see
what I'm wearing it's really cute I'm
just I'm just glad that it's comfortable
we're gonna do a hot dog bar because one
thing that I have like loved
I've always loved a hot dog with like
all the fixings on it but Wow
the bottom just dropped his poor grade
and I think it just stopped
good gracious anyway I don't have to
hear that at all but one thing that I've
wanted is a hot dog all the way and I've
had a couple of them since I've been
pregnant and that is everything I could
eat the whole thing and it's wonderful
there aren't too many things that I'm
able to eat the whole thing and enjoy it
but I can have a hot dog and so I said
we were trying to figure out what to
have we didn't want anything that was
gonna be like too much and too heavy and
we weren't trying to do it like so
because we are having a baby shower in a
few months so I want that baby shower to
be like I want an epic baby shower no
joke I want anyone but um I knew I
wanted something so then I thought
somebody recommended on the Instagram
that we do hot dogs so cool we could
have a hot dog bar we could have all the
toppings all the fixings a couple
different like potato chips to go with
it I guess what else you eat with a hot
dog other than Ted chips
I mean french fries but don't get have
to worry about those getting cold so
when do Ted chips I'm get a bunch of
cute bowls to put all the toppings in it
should be fun I'm excited but nice Here
I am going to film it all so don't be
worried if you're gonna miss something
you're definitely not gonna miss
anything I will do my best to make sure
that I capture everything if not for
y'all mainly for myself because I'm
gonna look back on all the stuff so if
you're wondering where the dogs are rosy
rose
I'm sorry goodbye to sleep and of course
lady poor lady needs to be groomed
Mama's gonna take you this week I
promise I need to brush your hair and
fix her point to go back to sleep

things that we got going on if you have
any ideas so by the time you guys see
this I will still have some time for
planning the gender-reveal so please put
some recommendations or ideas that you

get back to putting all this stuff in my
cart on Amazon and figure out exactly
what I need
flush what I want and I'm gonna go make
me a snack because I haven't eaten all
that much thing because the baby
wouldn't let me my poor appetite has
still not picked up I don't know maybe
I'll be 15 weeks when you guys see this
so maybe by the end maybe by then I'll
have a better appetite than what I have
right now because I really don't have
much of an appetite probably go cut up a
cucumber and eat it I can eat cucumbers
I might do that but we gotta join up and
have a beautiful and blessed day off
