How I’m feeling
So exciting Ava discovering whether she’s having a new a brother or sister. We went to the scan and it’s all looking really good and they told us IT’S A GIRL! So when we got home I needed to fill the balloon with tissue and hearts like I promised Ava and it took me an hour, I only just managed to get it ready before we picked her up from school.
When we got to our street we blind folded Ava so she couldn’t see the balloon and had her stand underneath it. Then as she lifted up her blindfold…POP! Confetti everywhere. We didn’t tell anyone else (except my Mum) so Ava could tell her class tomorrow.
Pregnancy Tip
