8. Best Moment of the Week: Taking the gender envelope home from our doctor's appointment without peeking. The 18-week appointment is so exciting in itself because you get to see all the anatomy and how everything is progressing. When it got to the gender arena, we were asked to close our eyes. We took the envelope home and had the excitement all day of getting to look that night. That evening, we went on a date to our favorite local Italian spot Daniel's in Apex. After we ordered our entrees, we opened up the envelope, just us. It was amazing and fun to finally know just the two of us. I would recommend this to anyone and everyone.
9. Gender: It's a girl!! We're so excited but honestly we were both shocked. We thought boy for the last four months. When we opened the envelope and saw "it's a girl" we were both like hold on, what!? There are few true surprises in life, and this was certainly one of them.
10. Belly Button In or Out? In.
11. What I Miss: A medium rare steak from a really nice restaurant.

15. Maternity clothes: Still rocking my Dylans.
