Jay's POV it's been a couple weeks since Erin had that nightmare of me dying and her raising Camryn alone. I hated she had that awful nightmare sine she told me about it I have been more cautious at work because I don't want that nightmare to be real I want to see my daughter grow up. Right now erin is 35 weeks pregnant so we are getting closer to meeting Camryn. Right now we are babysitting Owen for Natalie and will while they have some alone time

Erin finally lays down with Owen they sleep for about 3 hours while they sleep I watch some of my shows. Right when one of my shows ends I hear someone knocking on the door so I go and answer the door

WH= hey o have self control
NM= well I keep the paper way form him the whole time I also had Maggie lock him out of my chart for right now
J= smart woman

J= no you wouldn't have
E= okay what ever you say so do you have any ideas on how would you like to find out what your having

E= I guess that's fine for you to throw me a baby shower
NM= that's great I will start planing it
E= you know what I just came up with a great idea
J= you did what is it
E= what about combing the baby shower and gender reveal together
NM= are you sure you want to combine them together
E= yes I am sure Besides I am someone who doesn't want all the attentions her I am sure you are the same way

E= wow that sounds like fun
WH= it's all right Owen say goodbye to uncle jay and aunt Erin

E= no you can't
J= why not
E= for one if I tell you the gender your can't keep it a secret and you will tell will especially if he bugs you about it and two I want to be the only one who knows the gender
J= I guess your right and that's fine I can't wait a week to find out
E= Good so some they are gone I am kind of hungry

E= I don't know maybe some Cheez-Its and some vanilla is cream
J= wow that's a weird combination but if that's what my wife wants then that's what she gets I will be right back

Erin's POV: I can't believe I had that nightmare a few weeks back that nightmare shock me up for a couple of days but after a few day's I realize that jay is here and he isn't going anywhere. Ever some that nightmare I get nervous each day he leaves out that door for work but hopefully it will pass soon. Right now I am 36 weeks pregnant with Camryn do hopefully soon we get to meet her. last week when we watch Owen Natalie ask me to do her gender reveal which I am so excited to do right now I am getting ready for the party since it's a gender reveal and a baby shower combined party

( at a local community center)
NM= hey guys erin you look great

NM= I am so ready I think Will is way beyond ready to know what we are having
E= I bet he is
WH= so jay did Erin tell you what we are having
J= no she didn't I try everything but Erin wouldn't tell me
NM= nicely done Erin these halstead men are very persecuted to get the answer
WH= I beg to differ it's called we hate waiting on things or hate secrets
E= that proves Natalie's point
J= so are we doing the baby shower party first or we going to do the gender reveal
NM= I say we do the baby shower first than the gender reveal last
E= oh yeah I totally agree
WH= wait a minute that isn't fair
J= yeah I agree with Will ( Erin and Natalie bust our laughing )
HB= what's so funny
NM= nothing just your faces
E= because we are messing with you guys of course we are doing the gender reveal first
WH= wait you guys where messing with us
NM= oh yea we were
E= your faces were the best
WH= that wasn't funny
J= no it wasn't
E= this was a great plan way to go us
NM= oh yea
J= you guys aren't funny
WH= not at all
NM= all right so since the gender reveal is first did you come up with an idea for it
E= yes I did how would you guys like to find out the gender with a basket ball
NM= I love it thanks Erin
E= your welcome so let's go and Greet all are guess before it's time to know the gender
J= all right let's go
We spend the next hour socializing with all the guest and then it was finally time to do the first party which is the gender reveal so I go around and ask everyone what they think will and Natalie are having and then after we will find out if they will need more boys clothes in the house or have to buy some dresses and bows for their little girl
J= boy ( jay)
NA= boy ( April)
AR= boy ( Adam )
KA= girl ( Kevin.)
SG= boy ( Goodwin)

NS= boy ( Noah sexton )
E= all right did I get everyone's guess on what will and Natalie will be having
All= yes
E= great so how this is going to happen is Will is going to dunk this basket ball and when it hits the ground it will either be blue or pink powder to let us know what they are having so is everyone ready
All= yes
E= all right before I hand you the ball will I want to ask you and Natalie what you guys think your having
WH= all right so my guess is a boy
NM= well my guess is a girl
WH= you said you though it was a boy the whole time what change your mind
NM= I don't know I just feel it's a girl in this moment
E= totally understands all right here is the ball do the dunking on a count of three will all right
WH= all right ready
ALL= yes 3...2...1. It's a... ( he dunks the basketball)
NM= it's a girl I was right
J= wait I was wrong
WH= Owen you were right you are going to have a baby sister
OM= no I wanted a brother
NM0 it will be okay that just means you don't have to share your toys
WH= beside little man maybe soon we will give you a little brother
NM= William ( slaps his arm) don't put that in his head because I don't want to be pregnant for a while once I have her
E= hey at least our baby girl will have a girl cousin to grow up with
NM= I know I can't wait to see them grow up together I bet they will be each other best friends
J= wow I know mom would be so happy to have two granddaughters at once because she always wanted a daughter
WH= she for sure did
NM= now it's time for the baby shower part of the party so let's play some games
Over the next two hours we play some baby shower games and then it was time to start opening all the gifts everyone got for baby Camryn. I was shocked by how much stuff we got me and Camryn. Once we opened all the gifts the party was over so we said our goodbye to everyone and head home. Once we got home jay carried the gifts inside
J= and that was the last of them
E= that's good here come sit down
J= I can't believe we got so many presents today
E= oh yea I think we got everything for her now she can come out anytime now
J= I agree any time would be great
E= so what do you think about your brother having a daughter also
J= I think it's amazing we both are becoming fathers around the same time and on top of that becoming fathers to little girls my mom would be some happy right now today it hit me that I miss her a lot
E= I know jay o wish she was here too but at least we can share some of our daughter clothes onto our niece
J= that's a good point beside I think we have way too much clothes for her
E= no we don't you can never have to much clothes with babies especially if it's a girl
J= maybe tomorrow we can work on her room how does that sound
E= I love that idea but for now I need a shower and you still have to finish what you started earlier
J= oh I do well here let's go do that thing
He picked me up and we enjoy nice steam shower together. And then we head to bed the next day we get Camryn's room completely done now we are just waiting on her to decide to come into the world to meet everyone
