We went to the doctor on Monday, July 16th twice. I had my regular check up with my doctor in the morning which my mom got to go and hear the baby's heartbeat. I also found out that I had gained another 6 pounds. I really wanted to cry but I figured it had a little to do with being in Vegas for a week and not exercising. It was hard to eat good food on $26 a day. Not really but that is what the school gave us so we tried to keep the cost down. I ate a lot of trail mix and almond butter sandwiches. The second appointment was with radiology. This is when we were going to find out the sex of our baby but we decided last minute that we wanted to do a gender reveal party. I went back in forth on what to do because we would be leaving the next day for our vacation. My friend, Stephanie convinced me to have it so we did it. I'm so glad we did because it was a good excuse to get most of our friends and family together to celebrate this little miracle. At the appointment we were able to see so much more than I ever thought. We saw the baby's golbladder, chambers of the heart, arm, hands, and so much more. Because we wanted to the gender to be a surprise we didn't get to see anything below the belly button. The radiologist put the gender of the baby in an envelope along with a video and a picture of the baby pointing to it's gender parts. I took this straight to the bakery so I wouldn't be tempted to look. Needless to say I waited all week but when it came for the party we started with the cake!!! My nephew kept telling everyone that we were having desert first, which he was more than thrilled about. Here are a few pics from the party.

AND THE CAKE WAS........
We were shocked but very excited! I really thought it was going to be a boy. I had a dream about the baby and it was a boy and they say you are more hungry with a boy which I have been. Secrectly we were both hoping for a girl so we were super excited to find out that we would soon be holding a little girl named Campbell Elizabeth. Both names are family names. Nathan's moms maiden name is Campbell and my middle name and my mom's name is Elizabeth so this is how we came up with the name.
Here are a few other pictures from the party.

| I really wanted to get Lola a shirt for the party that said, "I don't care, I don't want either!" I don't think she has any idea about what is going to happen in a couple of months but I do hope that she loves Campbell as much as we do. |

4 Months
This month was very similar to month 3. I have felt great. I have gone to crossfit almost everyday since I really have nothing else to do. I'm loving the time off by the way. I have cleaned out cabinets, the baby's closet and room and most importantly the junk room is now clear of the junk. I also cleaned out my closet which Nathan said won't last. Thanks for the support honey. The only complaint I have this month is not being able to sleep that well. I ordered the snoogle, for those who don't know, it's a giant pillow bigger than me in the shape of a c. It's great because it gives support all around. It has really helped me with my sleeping, thank goodness because it is really important to me. (FYI I'm most worried about this after the baby comes) I'm a stomach and back sleeper so sleeping on my side has been an adjustment. This month the baby got to go to it's first concert. Thanks you Doss and Danielle for taking us to see Coldplay. It was a great show. It was so loud and I know the baby had to have heard the music. Next month we will find out the sex and finally get to see our baby again. I will also be traveling to Las Vegas for a school conference and then off to Turks and Caicos for our baby moon!!!
