A special thanks to SneakPeek for sponsoring today's post.
The past few months have been a whirlwind filled with excitement, nervousness, pregnancy symptoms (hello, morning sickness!), and of course the impatience of wanting to know if our second child is a boy or a girl! I kid you not, from the second I found out I was pregnant, I started researching how early I could find out if it was a boy or a girl--I was that impatient.
Well, I have some really great news for you if you're just as crazy as me and you are dying to know super early!! Did you know that SneakPeek, which is an at-home early-gender DNA blood test, can be taken as early as 6 weeks?! They're 99.9% accurate, and the best part is you take it in the comfort of your own home on your time.
I'll be completely honest, I was nervous to do the test because I'm terrified of needles, but this was easy peasy. The best part for me personally was that you only feel the microneedles for a matter of a second and you never have to see them either. They're concealed in the SneakPeek Snap Test, which I highly recommend as your test option.
The directions that come in the box are very detailed, and there are also informational videos you can watch as well. From start to finish, the test took me about 20 minutes and you follow the instructions to prepare your sample and get it ready to be shipped back to SneakPeek to get your much-anticipated results! Shipping was faster than expected for me--even with the standard test, and results are delivered via email or text--whichever you choose when you register for your test.
Here are a few tips I learned along the way that I want to share with you if you decide to take a SneakPeek Snap test to find out the gender of your little one!
One // Sanitize your testing area really well.
Two // Follow all sanitizing and prep instructions for your arm/hands before and while taking the test.
Three // Drink tons of water 20 minutes before.
The more water you drink, the easier the test will be as your blood will mix properly with the solution inside the test to prepare it for shipping. I drank several glasses of water over the course of those twenty minutes to be sure that I would be hydrated enough.

Now the moment you've all been waiting for...
IT'S A...
BOY!!
We are so thrilled to welcome another sweet boy to our family this October, and we just know that Bentley is going to be the best big brother to his little bro. Bentley started to say baby brother, and honestly, it's the cutest thing I've ever heard him say. They'll grow up to be the best of buds, and Bentley will show him the ropes on all things trash trucks, cars, and construction vehicles.
This pregnancy has already been so different from when I was pregnant with Bentley--it's so interesting to see how pregnancies differ and it makes me wonder what this little dude's personality will be like. He's already so loved, and we can't wait to meet him.
Team #boymama 💙
