It seems these days everyone finds out if they are having a girl or a boy as soon as they can, right around 20 weeks…

…except me! With my first pregnancy with my son Jude, my husband Will liked the element of surprise, so we waited. As much as I fought it, I have to admit it ended up being fun to find out right after giving birth. It really added to the excitement of the moment we had waited 38 long weeks for! So now this time we are waiting again, but I am even more anxious than ever! Since this pregnancy is a bit different than my first, I have googled every wives tale to see what I may be having this time and belly photos of mommies-to-be either having a boy or a girl! Intuition says boy, Blanqi bump says boy, cravings say girl…October 6 can’t come soon enough! My beautiful sister Natalie happens to be pregnant as well- a bit further ahead and due August 10 with her second also. She always finds out what she is having. Here is a photo of her a couple weeks ago…what does that bump say? …boy or girl?  Scroll down to see…

(I pulled it off her blog www.thebusybudgetingmama.blogspot.com..sister’s can do that!

Fot those of you that find out if you are having a boy or girl before the big birth day, I suggest that you do what Natalie did and plan a…..ULTRASOUND REVEAL PARTY!! HOW CUTE IS THIS?!? Us Blanqi girl’s LOVE parties..and love ANY excuse to have one!!  http://thebusybudgetingmama.blogspot.com/2010/03/ultrasound-reveal-party-boy-or-girl.html

I am not nearly as domesticated as my sister. But since the launch of Blanqi I am at UPS nearly every day making it easier to get care packages in the mail. So of course I had to send a present for the party….again taken from her blog! LOL

It has been so fun to be pregnant simultaneously with my sister while launching BLANQI!! Everyone keeps asking me does the pregnancy bodystyler do everything Sabina and I hoped it would when we designed it…and  I respond with IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!!! I am carrying rather low, which seems to be typical for second pregnancies. So the support and lift of my belly bump is amazing. It really replaces all the bulky belts and other bands out there that are not nearly as comfortable, fashionable or versatile as ours. Of all my emotional meltdowns, none have been over not having anything to wear! So I will just have to keep flaunting my unknown Blanqi baby bump, but my sister’s Blanqi bump………..
