Cupcakes with Pink Filling!!

On Tuesday after we found out that our little baby is a girl, I started to make my pink filled cupcakes for the big reveal to our families later that day. It worked out so perfectly. We made everyone divide into either the Boy team or the Girl team, then they took a bite at the same time! It was so much fun!

I wanted to show you how I made the cupcakes. I just used a Duncan Hines cake mix.

After they were cool, I cut a small piece out of the center of the cupcake.


Next I put the filling inside. I make my own icing, so I just made vanilla icing then added a few drops of pink food coloring! I lucked out because if it would have been a boy I don't know where I would have found the blue food coloring because Wal Mart did not have blue. Strange.

Then I took the piece that I had cut out of the cupcake and cut off its tip.

After that just put the top back on!

Then lastly frost the tops!

I was really happy with how they turned out, since this is the first time I made filled cupcakes! Just make sure you don't put too much icing on top and inside since it might turn out with too much icing all together.

Our Little Blessing at 19 Weeks!!

Monday, October 13
Our Little Blessing at 19 weeks!

How far along? 19 Weeks

Baby's size and stats?
She should be able to start hearing us this week!! I want to start reading to her!!

Gain? I have gained a total of 7 pounds, I weighed myself at the Dr and I have gained 6-7 pounds.

Maternity clothes? Still the same. Just maternity bottoms. Things are getting a lot tighter recently!! :)

Stretch marks? None

Sleep? Sleep is good, but I am still waking up on my back. My Dr. said to get some kind of support pillow and put it behind me so I don't roll onto my back. But then I have been having problems with my left side getting numb. It is so weird. I try to stay on my left side as much as I can because I read that is the best side for the baby.

Foods I am loving? Flavorful foods, mashed potatoes, noodles, chocolate milk and more chocolate milk!

Foods I am hating? Plain chicken, fried foods.

Best moment this week? Can you guess!! :) Seeing our precious baby on screen for almost a half hour and finding our that our baby's a GIRL!!!! She was sucking her thumb the whole time, and it brought me to tears every time. That was something I will never forget for as long as I live!!

Movement? I have not felt any movement, and now I know why!! I told my ultrasound tech that I have not been feeling any movement, and I thought it was strange because I could see our baby is very active. She was kicking and moving all around!! :) He said my placenta is in the front instead of in the back and she is kicking that so I do not feel anything. He said she will make up for lost time in a few months! I felt so relieved to hear that there is actually a reason for me not feeling anything.

Symptoms? I have been a lot more hungry more often. When I do not eat every hour or two I will feel nauseous.

Gender? A beautiful baby GIRL!!

What I'm looking forward to? I cannot wait to meet her!! I am very very impatient right now. I want to hold her, and look at her!! She is so precious. Her profile just melts my heart.

Milestones: Finding out our baby's gender!! And she is measuring exactly 19 weeks and 2 days!! Right on!!

Emotions: So happy that my face hurts. I have been smiling so much. I feel very blessed that our baby is healthy and that everything looked great. We were able to see every part of our baby, and the Lord has Blessed us immensely.

We Are Overjoyed to Find Out...

It's been such a long day, but I just had to let you all know the great news!!! Our Little Blessing is a perfect little GIRL!!! She is beautiful. Seeing her sucking her thumb was one of the most emotional moments of my life. I feel so blessed. I am so in Love with our little Girl. Thank you Lord for a healthy baby.

I will give you more details soon. As well as post my 19 Week Post!!!
