Having A Baby In Medical School! | Gender Reveal

What's up guys, last time that you saw both of us, we made a special announcement that we were expecting our first child. And we haven't really followed up with you guys since, but this past weekend we had a very special event where we actually had a baby shower and a gender reveal and we wanted to share that experience with you guys. And so much went into kind of that day that it kind of flew by super fast, but we were able to videotape and kind of sulk in the moment. And now we're kind of able to really relish that day and just kind of celebrate that excitement. But before we get there, how did you feel going into that day of the baby shower with like all the anticipation? How did you feel about it? It kind of felt like surreal because we had been talking about it for literally months because we had known a while ago, well the doctor knew and then we got the envelope and then gave it to someone else. So like we could have known for a very long time and like six weeks, people were like always asking us like, what are you guys having? And I was like, we'll find out in a couple of weeks. But then now we know what it is and it just made it seem even more real and just celebrating it all weekend. Like people flying out from all over and right. My parents came down from Colorado, some of my friends from Colorado came out, I was able to spend some time with them and show them around Mayo, which was super special. But again, one of the most special weekends that I think that we've ever had, you know, besides their wedding. Besides the wedding day. It's right behind that. Best day ever after. Best day ever, yeah, after that. So after our friends and family got to meet, got to mingle, hang out, get to know each other and eat and have a good time, we did some super fun baby shower games, which were amazing. I didn't know how fun baby shower games would be, but one of the shout out my mom, shout out mom with the baby shower games and one of the creative games that we had was pitting a diaper on a baby blindfolded. And this was a good opportunity to, I think, shed light on some skills that I still need to develop. time to officially do the gender reveal. It was fun because we had a stethoscope for the guest if you thought it was a boy and they had a to represent dad being in medical school or doctor or whatever, and then a whistle if you thought it was a girl to represent mom being a PE teacher and a coach. And so Madison, what did you think it was? I was laying in bed like two, three months ago. And I felt one of those two, two months ago, I felt like a, like a different kick. And it was like a really strong kick. And I said, it's a boy. And in this moment, she just screamed this in another room and I was in and I thought she cheated. I thought she had the envelope and she snuck a look at something. And I also don't understand this. I don't I don't because you didn't have any reference, you know, no, it was just like out of the blue. Yeah. You didn't have like a pregnancy before this to compare that kick to you just know, I just boy kick. I was like, that's it. So I've been going on that guess. So yeah, she's been boy this whole time. And I've been a super girl the entire time. I didn't get kicked by the baby. What made you think it was a girl? I'm curious. Well, one, I didn't want to just choose the same thing that you chose. So then you had to do the other one. So I kind of had to do the other one. But then two, I just like started to feel the idea of being a girl dad and you hear all the things about like, when you have a girl, it changes you and the dads, you know, like change forever, you get a little softer and yeah, you know, there were just a lot of things that made being a girl dad super, I don't know appealing to me in that moment. So I was like, you know, it's a girl, I'm gonna be a girl dad. I just feel it. I don't even know any boy names that came to my mind, a few girl names like came and stuck. So I was like, it's a girl. So we actually went into this event, thinking different. And so it was, it was, it was, here it goes. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1! Keep going! So as you can see, I won. I was right. She's always right. I don't know why I even tried to go against. As you wives know. No, I'm kidding. Wifeys be right. It was probably a lucky guess. No, it was one of the most incredible days again. And we are so thankful for everyone who was able to make it to the shower, everyone who has continued to send support and encouragement and prayers through gifts and messages and just showering us with love. We wouldn't be able to kind of go throughout this process comfortably and with the level of excitement without that team of support and encouragement that we have. So thank you guys so, so, so much. If you guys want to keep up to date with how the baby shower, the baby stuff is going, we have our registry and we have all that kind of stuff. I'll leave that in the description below.
