This week on Calling in Sick, we’re sharing everything about our gender reveal and closing out my first, first trimester!!

We're diving into:

💙 WHY we found out early

👀 How we accidentally used the Sneak Peek at-home test for our gender reveal party (WHOOPS!)

🤢 First trimester wrap up and what's finally starting to ease up

💊 Chronic illness update (the good, the bad and the thing making me frown) and why that’s making me start nesting at 12 weeks!!

So excited to share this moment with y’all!!!!

xx,
Alex
