Fall Gender Reveal
When we first found out we were pregnant, we immediately were thinking about what the babies gender would be. Luckily, with the technology of today, a gender can be found out really early. We decided to do the Sneak Peek Test at 8.5 weeks in order to have a Fall Gender Reveal. Manuel wasn’t so concerned about finding out, and would have been totally fine just waiting until birth to find out. However, I am way too much of a planner for that so I had to know! In order to compromise, Manuel wanted us to find out during the…
