I had spent all morning decorating for the baby shower. We decided to do another gender reveal, with everyone knowing except for Christian and I. I had my sister be in charge of holding the results, so I was very anxious to find out what we were having. I couldn't wait to see Wyatt's reaction when he found out if he was going to have a little brother or sister.

I looked in my closet, trying to figure out what I wanted to wear. My bump was starting to grow more, which meant going back into my maternity collection that sat in the back of the closet. "Babe? Can you come help me?" I call out to Christian who was helping Wyatt with something.

Christian walked in and looked at me, "What's going on, baby?" He asked me, "Whatcha need?"

"I need help finding something to wear...I have no idea what I want to wear." I sigh, "I wore a dress for Wyatt's baby shower, and I have a lot of dresses I could wear. I just, don't know what to wear.." I take a deep breath, looking at him.

He looked at my clothes, tapping his chin before he pulled out a pair of leggings and a cute blouse, "What about this? And then some comfy sandals?" He suggested, causing me to smile.

I nod, "That's cute, baby.." I tell him, taking it from him, "Thank you.." I tell him before kissing his cheek. "I'm gonna get changed and then I'll be right out. Everyone should be coming in like an hour or so."

"Okay, baby. I'm gonna go help Wyatt finish getting ready." Christian told me before he kissed me quick and walked out of our room, going back by Wyatt. I sat down at my vanity, starting on my makeup. I honestly didn't really know what to do. I wanted to feel good about myself, and I know with my last pregnancy it was hard to find that self confidence in myself with my growing bump.

Wyatt came running in a couple minutes later and put his hands on my thigh, "Hi, momma." He smiled at me and I set my blending brush down, smiling at him.

"Hi, handsome! Did daddy help you get ready?" I asked him, leaning down to kiss his cheek.

"Yeah, mommy! He did.." He did a little turn around. "I dwess nice!" He giggled, looking at me. "You too, mommy!"

I smile at him, "You look very handsome, baby boy!" He reminded me so much of Christian, it was crazy how much he was growing. I couldn't believe that he was going to be a big brother.

Once everyone arrived to the shower, Christian and I mingled with the guests, making sure we were saying hello to everyone that showed up and thanked them for coming. I was excited to find out what we were having and I could tell that Aspen couldn't wait for me to find out either. She was the first to find out, and she's been the one to hold the results.

"Okay, everyone!" Aspen said, looking over at Christian and I, "We're going to allow the lovely couple find out what the gender of baby #2 is! I'm so excited for them to find out. Nadia had given me the results and told me that I wasn't allowed to tell her or Christian, so I needed to think of something creative." She laughed, putting a box on the table. "So, you two are going to open the gift, and there will be a shirt of the color of the gender you're having. Obviously pink for girl, blue for boy. I think you'll like the shirt," She said with a smile.

I looked over at Christian, smiling, "You ready?"

Christian nodded, "I've been waiting for this," Him and I started to unwrap the box as everyone was recording to get our reactions. When we opened the box, inside was a pink Brewers jersey with Christian's number on the back. "What!?" He exclaimed, "Seriously??"

Aspen nodded, "You two are having a little girl!!" She said and I couldn't help but tear up, hugging Christian as tightly as I could.

"Nads! You see that? A girl!" Christian smiled, kissing my forehead. I was a blubbering mess, unable to control my emotions. We were having a little girl and that's all I wanted. "I love this little jersey, wow." He said, holding it up again.

I sniffles, holding the shirt in my hands. "A little girl..." I say, looking at Christian, "We're having a girl..."

He nodded, wrapping his arms around me. "I can't believe it! I totally thought it would be a boy.." Christian said, looking at me and ran his fingers through my hair, "Crazy, baby.."

I laughed, wiping under my eyes, "You were so confident about that. But, I guess I was right!"

My mom came over by us and hugged me, "Congratulations, my love. Were you surprised?"

Christian smiled at her, "I sure was. I thought it was going to be a boy! But, I am perfectly fine with a baby girl too.."

"Yeah, I mean, I had a feeling it was a girl. All those things you read about that mention like how a baby boy makes you feel and how a baby girl makes you feel when you're pregnant, I definitely was thinking it was a girl." I tell her, wrapping my arms around Christian, "I am super happy."

"Good! Now you two gotta start thinking of names. I bet Wyatt will be excited." She smiled at us, "Did you like the jersey idea? Aspen thought it would be so cute since you guys did something baseball related last time, but I love this one!" She held the shirt, looking at it, "A one of a kind shirt!"

I chuckle, "For sure. Can't wait to take her to baseball games." Christian kissed my head, rubbing my side before he settled a hand on my tummy. "I'll be excited to see how Christian is with a little daughter," I say as I smile up at him.

Christian looked at me, "She's gonna be my new best friend. Next to you and Wyatt, of course." He laughed, "Maybe she can play baseball when she gets older."

I roll my eyes, "What if she wants to be a dancer or a cheerleader?" I tease, sticking my tongue out at him. "We already know Wyatt wants to follow in his daddy's footsteps. Maybe our little girl will do the same.."

That night, after getting everything cleaned up, my mom stayed back to help us and Aspen kept Wyatt entertained while we cleaned. I definitely was ready to call it a night.

I walked into the bedroom, taking off my shoes and rummaged through my closet to find a baggy shirt to wear as my bump was becoming a trouble when it came to finding clothes to wear.

"Hey, you okay?" Christian asked me, looking over at me as he sat on the bed.

I turned to face him, nodding as I slipped a t shirt over my head, "I'm fine, babe. Just was trying to find something to wear." I walk over by him and stand in between his legs, "I had a lot of fun today, and I am still so shocked we're having a girl.."

Christian nodded, "For sure. They're gonna look just like their momma," He put his hands on my tummy, smiling, "She just needs to hurry up and get here! I am getting impatient."

I giggle, looking at him as he kissed my stomach. It was so fascinating to me how amazing of a father Christian was. Watching him go from super nervous, to being a natural with Wyatt, I definitely was very confident that we were going to be okay with a second kid. He doubts himself, but, I know that he is the most amazing dad I've ever met. I wouldn't want anyone else to be Wyatt's daddy.
