Monday we will hopefully know the gender. A popular question we’ve been getting lately is what are we hoping for and honestly we just want the baby to be healthy. Many people are hopeful for a boy because the boys are outnumbered. But boy or girl the baby will be so loved! I have noticed myself saying he a lot and I do correct myself and say he or she, some say it’s instinct. So we shall see!

Balsamic chicken!
Another easy and delicious dish!
In a pan add 2 tablespoons of oil add chicken, salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. Once cooked add and onion (slices, diced, whatever your preference is ). Cook it only a bit so it keeps that crunch! Finally mix in about 1/8th of a cup of balsamic to the chicken and onions. Serve over rice and enjoy!

Are you drinking coffee?
I am a big fan of coffee however it just did not sit well with me so I stopped.

Have you had any cravings?
My cravings weren’t big just mostly cheese and everything bagels. For me it was more like I saw a commercial for pizza or burgers or something and wanted that for the day haha.

How and when did you tell your family and friends?
The second we got the positive tests we FaceTimed our parents and siblings we didn’t announce it to anyone else till we had our first ultrasound at 8weeks and 4 days.
