A few weeks ago I got to have the most perfect little gender reveal party with my family and close friends and got to tell everyone that we are expecting a boy! Which means we also could start telling everyone that our little one will be named Jackson Richard Blinn. We could not be more thrilled about this next exciting piece of the puzzle.
Being back East was so nice for me, to be able to relax and reconnect with everyone that is so important to me. My sister flew in from Germany and my best friends drove up from Philly to see me and it was so incredible to be around so many people that love me so much and are so excited to become Aunties (biological or otherwise) to Jackson.
So now I am in full on nesting mode! And honestly so is Mark :) While I was gone he cleared out the room that was the guest room/office and will now be the nursery, he also did a little arts and crafts project for Jackson! We've starting putting together furniture and all the other gear and we're working on decorating and making it a cozy little space for out little guy. Our friends and family were so generous to us and are making it possible for Jackson to have everything he needs.
Tomorrow I will be 25 weeks pregnant and I'm getting more and more excited to meet our baby. That also means that we are getting very close to being parents, which lets get serious is scary as hell! I know that we will be just fine, this is something we have both wanted for a while and we make such a good team. But its a little daunting to think about all the little details and decisions we are going to face. We have become such a great two person team, and now we're adding a third member! This is the most amazing journey and experience I have ever had and its just beginning. Here's to staying positive and loving every minute!
