Since discovering everything that night, I have been feeling incredibly stressed. My contractions have intensified, and I have been experiencing more frequent episodes of vomiting. Jay and I have decided to host a gender reveal party tomorrow.
"How are you feeling?" Jay asked while rubbing my back.
"I'm hurting so bad right now.." I mumbled.
"Do you wanna go to the hospital?" Jay asked.
I shook my head. "No, I'll be okay"
Once the contractions calmed down, I got up from my bed and dressed myself. We needed to visit the store to purchase decorations for the gender reveal. While I desire a daughter, I am completely okay if we have a boy, as I am confident he will grow up to possess his father's looks and affection.

"I look a mess." I said as I looked at myself in the mirror.
Jay walked over to me and kissed me on the forehead."You look amazing baby" He leaned down to my stomach."Tell Mommy she looks beautiful and she never looks a mess."
I smiled and watched Jay talk to the baby in my stomach. He is definitely gonna be a great father.
After leaving the house, Jay and I made a pit stop at Burger King because I had a strong desire for ice and fries. While I ate my food, we remained in the car for some time. However, I began feeling sick, prompting me to exit the vehicle and switch to the passenger side so Jay could drive us to the store where we had to purchase items for the gender reveal.
Jay got out of the car and opened the car door for me.
"Thanks, baby." I said while getting out of the car.
We walked into the store got a shopping cart and began getting everything we needed for the party. I noticed Jay looking at his phone constantly so out of curiosity I asked him what was wrong.
"Baby, what's wrong?" I asked.
"N-Nothing." He said.
I stopped walking and looked him in the eyes. "No more secrets, remember?"
Jay sighed. "Two days ago when you woke up and I wasn't home, I was at the hospital getting a check up and they did some bloodwork on me to see if it's getting worse. They told me I'd get the results within the next 48 hours."
Jay knows this topic tends to make me emotional, so I understand why he hid that from me. "Tell me when you get them. Okay?"
"Bey, I'm not ready to die. I wanna meet my baby.." Jay said lowly.
"Jay, what I tell you about talking like that? You're gonna live a long healthy life. Let's be positive baby."
The Gender reveal day:
While applying my makeup, I had gospel music playing in the background. Jay is expected to receive his results at any moment today, so I am remaining hopeful for the best outcome. I truly rely on him, as our baby will need him too. It is unimaginable to picture a life without him. Jay may not be perfect, but he strives to be the best version of himself. We have faced challenging times together, with an incident occurring two months ago when he fainted twice in one day, which really frightened me.
I believed it could have been the end. However, he pushed through and spent one week in the hospital before being given the green light to return home. Ever since we confided in my mother and best friends about our situation, they have been incredibly supportive to both Jay and me.
I gave the envelope containing the baby's gender to my mama, she's gonna focus on purchasing the balloons and bubble guns with either pink or blue colors in it.

Because I didn't have any fitting pink or blue dresses, I ended up wearing black due to my increasing size. Although my dad wasn't invited to the baby shower, I still wanted him to have a glimpse of my pregnancy progress, so I took some pictures and sent them to him.

Jay wore this nice blue suit, he looked so damn fine.
"You're so sexy." I said with a smirk on my face.
Jay bit his bottom lip. "Not as sexy as you. Also, I had intended to surprise you later, but I invited my mother, two sisters, and both of my brothers. One of my brothers you have already met, and they will all be at the party. You will enjoy meeting my mother, and my sisters are 23 and 19. My brothers, Fonzo and Carlo, are twins and they both are 24 years old."
I feel immense joy because I'm gonna be meeting Jays' family as it allows me to deepen my connection with him. I enjoy being in the company of affectionate individuals, and I hope that the atmosphere will be positive and uplifting.
"I can't wait!!" I said while hugging him.
