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.

6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adans 6 weeks ago I cut off the top of my Monstera Adansonii because it was very tall but not bushy. It was nerve wracking at first. I had 5 total cuttings that I put into water. 4 of the pieces had roots longer than 2 inches with some secondary roots. The last piece is still in water, it has some roots but not enough, so giving it a bit more time. Where I cut it is also making a new stem and I noticed further down it was trying to branch out in other places. Hopefully it takes off this Summer and becomes fuller looking.

It was soooo cold out there tonight even with the sun. The wind was whipping. It may have been in the 40s but the wind chill was in the low 30s. I think my face is wind burned. Annie did a great job playing tonight and was trying so hard to make a goal. The other team was short on players, so one of her teammates was goalie and did an awesome job stopping the ball. Annie tried a new strategy of holding the ball in between her feet until the other team gives up. 🤣 There is one clip of Prestyn (# 13). His games are harder to take video of cause his field is so big.

Today while eating lunch I told her it was close to coming out and we would need to pull it before bed. While eating chicken teriyaki she thought she swallowed it and spit out the chicken in her mouth. I dug through it and it wasn’t there. She started freaking out. Then looked on the chair and it was sitting right there. 🤣 A similar thing happened with Prestyn on one of his bottom teeth. My kids never want to pull them out until they fall out on their own. Ha.

I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendro I made the mistake of not repotting my philodendron white wizard when I first got it, I also didn’t give it enough sunlight. So it was growing soooooo slow. I finally repotted it a couple weeks ago, moved it closer to a window, and started using plant food from @happyhappyhouseplant. Not sure what made the most difference but the leaf opened and now a new one is already starting. Hoping it won’t take as long this time.
