Gender Reveal for Baby Halstead

Filed Under: Family, Pregnancy Tagged With: gender reveal, rainbow baby

My blood test came back on Tuesday. Everything looked good! So that means… it is time to know the gender of our new baby! Watch the clip below to find out. The balloons got stuck and Dustyn ended up walking out of the scene when he pulled the box open. It was still cute though.

Here is a photo of Carsyn getting the confetti dropped on him.

Then we shoved the balloons back up in the box and took some photos of the boys together.

All in all I think it turned out really cute. Check out the infographic below for more clever ways to announce your pregnancy or gender on social media.

Gender Reveal

Panorama is a DNA screening test that can tell parents important information about their pregnancy. They can find out if baby is at risk for having Down syndrome or other chromosomal abnormalities. Panorama can also tell parents the gender of their baby. Non-invasive and highly accurate, Panorama has the lowest falsepositive rate of any prenatal screening test for the commonly screened chromosomal abnormalities, trisomies 21, 18 and 13. And, Panorama can be done as early as nine weeks into pregnancy using a simple blood draw. Visit the Panorama website for more information.

I really wanted to get this testing done to ease some of my fears. Having a son with special needs made this pregnancy a little more nerve wracking. I know the results wouldn’t have changed my mind. We would have kept and loved our baby either way, but I like to be prepared. Thankfully our results came back normal and everything looks good. This screening gave me some peace of mind.

Did you do a gender reveal on social media?

Thanks so much to my friend Kate for filling the box for me,  Melissa Stallings Photography for taking the photos for me, and for Panorama Prenatal Test for sponsoring this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Still on my to-do list: a gallery wall and living wall, but I'm a bit nervous since I'm not exactly good at that. One day, though... I also dream of getting a projector to display scenes on the big white wall.

I'm going to miss my Halloween decorations when they come down - time to start scouring thrift stores for Christmas decor, I suppose! 🎄
Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I Thanks for coming along on this journey with me. I am so grateful to have my own library/plant space. 

It will be a few more months/weeks before it’s complete but I’m proud of how far it’s come. 

What I have left to do still: Get the top for my desk and seal it. Organize my craft stuff and put it on the shelves under my desk. Figure out my gallery wall above my desk. Order my @wallygrowplanters for my living wall. And of course buy more books and plants. 😆

It may not be perfect or Instagram “worthy” but it’s mine and I’m proud of all the time and effort we have put into it. The rug arrived today. I am so pleased with how it is coming together. Thanks so much to my cousin @r_holz9 for all her decorating advice and @em.e.hicks for putting up with my million text messages. IKEA bookcases will be here tomorrow. Then need to paint them and start moving my books out there. After I finish with that, I will work on my living plant wall. Not sure when my low bookcases and desk will be built, but it will happen eventually. Almost there. 🙌🏼
