A Big, Big, BIG Announcement!!
Einstein and Duke have some very exciting news to share…
The BEB family is expanding, and no, we are not getting another dog ;-)
WE’RE HAVING A BABY!!!
I am 14 weeks today and little (two-legged) baby brother or sister is due to arrive around January 12, 2015. We are SO excited and I’ve been dying to tell you all!
No crazy cravings yet, and only one specific food aversion. You may have noticed a drop off in recipes containing, of all things… chocolate. Ugh! I can do a little chocolate if it’s in something else, like a chocolate swirl in ice cream, or a peanut butter cup (!), but forget about things like chocolate ice cream, cake or brownies. I haven’t wanted it at all, and when I do eat just a little bit, I feel sick. What a bummer, I hope this passes!
Aside from some nausea during weeks 6-10, the only other really negative symptom I’ve had is some mind-numbing exhaustion. Holy crap, some days I was almost in tears just because I was SO TIRED. I’ve never been much of a napper (well, since college, anyway!), but napping has become an almost daily occurrence for me. Some days I know I need to go lay down and sleep for awhile, and others I just randomly pass out on the couch.
On a positive note, I finally have the beginnings of a bump! I was so excited to start seeing a belly show up :)
(Apologies for the dog hair all over my shirt – the pups are shedding like crazy right now and I was hugging them before we took this picture.)
I’ll certainly be keeping you updated as things move along, and am so excited to finally share this news with you! ❤️
I apologize for taking such a long time to congratulate you on your little miracle. I visit your blog EVERY day, but have only posted one other time, so I couldn’t believe I didn’t at least say something. I think you’ll be a fantastic mother, and at least you’ll know how to cook! lol. I’m raising four children myself, and while it’s the most challenging job in the world, it’s also the most rewarding. Here’s to creating a lifetime of memories, and passing down beautiful traditions. :) Congratulations again, to you both.
My daughter is due with her second child on January 11th. Right now she pretty much sleeps 18 hours a day. Nothing tastes good to her, even if she was craving it. Hopefully that stage will pass soon. She will find out the sex of the baby by mid-August. Congratulations Michelle, I’ve been following you for years, but slacked off when I was diagnosed with celiac disease six months ago. It was torture seeing all the beautiful photos of food I will never be able to make without turning myself inside out trying to recreate a gluten free version. My you have a joyous pregnancy!
congratulations !
Congratulations!
I am so excited for you! I’m pregnant right now, too. Only a few weeks ahead of you. Just curious, are you still going to get your Stitch Fix while you’re pregnant? I’ve been following your blog for quite awhile now and decided to try it recently, but obviously, I’m pregnant. (I’m getting my first Fix in the next few days.) I put down that I’m pregnant in my information, but I’m just wondering if the Stitch Fix experience has been the same for you, pregnant or not pregnant.
Hi Rachael, Thank you so much and congratulations to you! I am still getting my StitchFix. So far, I’ve been really specific about my notes and requests and it has worked out well for me. I’ve asked for no pants(!), and maxi-style skirts and dresses for the summer that are flowy and can grow with me, and/or layering pieces to move into fall, and accessories. So far it has been good! My advice would just be really specific about what you want and what you don’t want.
LOVE it. What a great way to publicize the big BIG event! Congratulations!
Congrats!
What a wonderful blessing. Your recipes have been a gift to my kitchen for years. Now you will have the amazing experience of the deepest love ever known! God bless your family.
Yay! Congrats! I’ve been reading your blog for years so kind of feel like we are friends… very excited for you. Duke and Einstein will be great big brothers :)
How exciting… congratulations!!! Wishing you all God’s blessings for a healthy pregnancy, delivery, and baby!! Congratulations to big brothers Einstein and Duke, too!
Congradulations,that’s wonderful!
Congrats!!!!!!
Congratulations! Continue napping. I rememember falling asleep uncontrolably anywhere, when the nappiness hit. Had to watch my salt, so lived on cayenne, crushed red pepper, Tabasco and garlic. Craved coffee in any form. Hagen Daz coffee ice cream never tasted so good. I wish you well. The older brothers will love their sibling. All kinds of extra treats and nibbles given, dropped or snitched.
Congrats! So exciting!
I’ve been baking following your recipes with a 4 year old (now 5) superhero on my side and a tiny (not so tiny now) baby strapped on my chest in a carrier for a while now. When the cakes didn’t look the same as your pictures(especially icing), I blamed these two active, noisy munchkins! But the taste was always amazing!
I am looking forward to reading and trying new recipes with a pinch of motherhood flavour added in! ;)
Congratulations!! Happy days for you! Brave people. Two big dogs, fur baby and now a baby baby! Just go with the chaos. And consider getting a summer cut for the goldens. I did it for my Schmoe. She looked forward to it every April. It cut down on the hair in the house and brushing. She looked just like a yellow lab when she was cut. So happy for you and the lucky Grandparents.
Kathleen
Congrats! Hope the chocolate aversion passes. Many wishes for healthy momma and baby.

Mazal Tov !!!!!!!

Congratulations.
Congratulations!!!
I am so happy for you!!!
Thank you for all the recipes and hope you have a easy remainder of your pregnancy!!
So incredibly happy for you!!! Oh my gosh! Cannot wait to meet mini BEB! ;)
Hope you continue to feel good throughout your pregnancy! YAY!
Oh my gosh! Congratulations! So excited for you.
Congrats! Love your blog – and so happy for you! I’m 23 weeks along, and had the EXACT SAME THING with chocolate this pregnancy! My aversion finally went away at about 20 weeks, but boy it felt long sometimes! = ) Hope things go smoothly = )
Congratulations! I’m so excited for you!~ <3
Congrats! That explains the Peanut Butter &Jelly Icecream recipie.
Best wishes!
Congratulations and best wishes to you and your Culinary Chief Consultant ;)
I hope that you and your Chief Culinary Consultant enjoy all of the “quirks” of the pregnancy, as it will be over before you know it and you will holding your little bundle soon. Congratulations! Hopefully we won’t be getting any pickle/ice cream combinations in place of the missing chocolate!! :-)
This is just so exciting! Ive been living vicariously through your recipes and posts.. cant wait for the next layer of love to be added to your lives. Congratulations to your family!
Congratulations!!! Children are a blessing from the Lord!
Congratulations Sweetie,
I’m so happy for ALL of you! What a wonderful gift.
Sue
Congratulations!!!!
Congratulations! That is SO awesome – your kid is going to bring the best cupcakes for his/her birthday at school! Also…what is in the water that bloggers drink these days? It seems like every blogger I follow has gone from literal to proverbial buns in the oven. Congrats again!!!
Congratulations! Your photos are adorable – love the big brother t-shirts & lovely baby bump!! :) I was also uncharacteristically exhausted during my first pregnancy – would go hide in a bathroom at work so I could just close my eyes & would fall asleep in a parked car on my lunch break & collapse when I got home. I’ve heard it has to do with the pregnancy hormone which peaks in the first trimester… hopefully will get better as your pregnancy progresses! Hang in there & take care of yourself! Congrats!!!!!!
Congratulations to the person who got me hooked on food blogs! Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy.
–So funny, must be something in the water within the foodie blogosphere…I see Jessica over at “How Sweet” is also expecting!! :)
A belated Congratulations, awesome news.
So happy for you all. Wishing you the very best.
Congratulations Michelle! How exciting :) Wishing you an enjoyable and healthy pregnancy :)
Congratulations and Best Wishes!
So happy for you! Don’t worry you will eat chocolate again!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That is awesome news!
That’s fabulous news!!! Congratulations to all four (soon five) of you! I hope you enjoy your pregnancy!
Congrats on your New addition. Loved how you made your announcement. Duke and Einstein will surely make wonderful big brothers.
Congrats!! What great news! Hope chocolate sounds good again soon! ;)
Congrats!!!!! So, exciting!
I hardly know you but I am so thrilled for you!
Congrats!!! I’m 12 weeks along and can’t wait to share my news in two weeks.
CONGRATULATIONS!! I just had my first baby in June and during the first few months I also had a complete aversion to chocolate, even though I’m a total chocoholic. Thankfully, it passed, and by Christmas last year (when I was around 4 months pregnant) I was eating lots of chocolate again. Hope your taste for it comes back too. :-)
Congratulations! As soon as I saw the subject I thought “they’re having a baby!!”. so happy that is what it turned out to be. Amazing how happy you can be for someone you’ve never met but yet I feel like I know. I will eat your share of the chocolate until you feel like having it again. :-)
Congratulations one thousand times!!! A baby is such a blessing, you cannot believe how much until you have your own in your arms. Your life is going to change so much, your whole perspective of everything will change, for better, you will see. I am so happy for you all, I wish you the best and for the next 9 months take very good care of yourself and of that little baby your nursing already!
So happy for you all! I will be watching things grow! Lol! I sure loved watching the dogs grow. They are such gorgeous animals!
Yep, baby-bump clearly visible.
Big Bro shirts a must, of course!
Take Good Care of You. So happy for all.
Congratulations! This is very exciting news. Few things in this world ever seem to exceed my expectations, but I have to say motherhood is one that did. I hope it’s the same for you.
What an awesome sentiment, I love it :)
When you mentioned in another post about your vivid dreams and show characters in them, I KNEW that was the reason. Not sure if this post was before or after that, but I didn’t see the announcement until today. I had crazy vivid dreams during my second pregnancy.
Congrats!!!
Congrats!!
Congratulations! My husband and I are also expecting our first baby in November. It’s all very scary and exciting at the same time. We have ALSO decided to move in August before the baby comes, so I am trying hard to concentrate on the move right now. Once we are all settled in our new house, I can start buying things for the baby!! They need so much stuff :) Haha, good luck on this new adventure!!
Congratulations! This is exciting news for BEB. Nobody ever really talks about the exhaustion like they do the morning sickness. That exhaustion is un.be.liev.able!!!! And it really does bring you to tears . . . But it’s all good in the end. Seeing the dog fur makes me happy . . . I keep a lint brush in just about every room of my house and in my car :D
congrats!!!
I’ve been reading your blog forever, but never have said hi! Congratulations!! I’m expecting my first baby next month. Take it easy, the first trimester was rough – I hated that tired feeling. For me, it all turned around by 20 weeks, and I started feeling like myself again. Enjoy and best of luck!
Happy News!! Congratulations :)
Congratulations! I am very happy for you, and I hope your love of chocolate returns!
Congratulations! That’s wonderful news! I was a “chocolate” girl all my life but after I had both my sons something strange happened. Even though I still love the “thought” of chocolate- I find myself going for vanilla when it comes to ice cream and staying away from brownies….. because it actually makes me nauseous. Don’t freak out – I still eat SOME chocolate – but not the way I used to! haha
Congratulations!! Thanks for sharing with us! :)
Congratulations!!!!
That is AWESOME! I’m so happy for you :) Congrats! My oldest daughter is having her first child in December and I’m sooooo excited to become a grandma!
CONGRATULATIONS
amazing , the most wonderful experience…enjoy it!
Long time lurker (I love your site!)…but I needed to say congratulations!!!! Best news ever! Please take care!
Oh my goodness, congratulations!!!! So excited for you and your husband.
What can I say that hasn’t already been said! Congratulations and I wish you a healthy pregnancy and a fast natural birth. You have the right dogs for the job too.
Congratulations……………that is wonderful news
Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you!
Wahoo! Cutest little baby bump ever:)
Congrats! To bad you couldn’t have detested vegetables instead! You won’t miss chocolate for too long.
Congratulations!! Wishing you a happy and healthy pregnancy:)
Wow great news congratulations to you all wishing you a healthy pregnancy lots of love from australia.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! That’s going to be one happy kid with a mom as cool as you :) Sorry about the sudden aversion to chocolate, though! Its just an opportunity to try stuff that normally would be bumped down the recipe queue in favor of chocolate :) What a blessing for your family!
Looks like all my favorite blogs are having babies! Congrats to you! Howsweetitis is also preggers!
Congrats! I definitely thought it was another puppy at first!
congratulations! Hope everything goes the way it should nice and smooth, all the very best to you and your expanding family.
Congratulations!!! I was wondering if this would be announced soon! So exciting!! Enjoy this special time!
Congratulation Michelle!! I am so happy for you and your family, and I am sending lots of positive thoughts to you guys! Wishing you all the best! :)
WooHoo!! So thrilled for you and your family! Babies are a joyful addition. Just remember, pregnancy is like being possessed by an alien and you’re just along for the ride. Sleep while you can as once the little one comes, it is fairly sleepless for awhile. :D
Congratulations from Australia on your exciting news. I have been an avid follower of your blog for a long time but this is my first comment.. Your cupcake recipes are to die for :-) Best of luck on this new journey, motherhood is a wonderful adventure!
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! Love the “Big Brother” shirts on the pups – great way to make your announcement!
Congrats!!!!!!!
Aw, I love pregnancy announcements. Congrats! Happy and healthy 9 months to you!
How fun is this announcement! A million congratulations!
Congratulations! Wishing you and your family all the best and thanks for sharing this wonderful news with us. So thrilled for you!
Congratulations! So exciting! I was so unbelievably tired with both of my pregnancies, it was painful.. But it passes and when you feel that first kick, it is worth every bit of nausea, exhaustion and non chocolate cravings! Keep us posted.
Congrats on your wonderful news, I am sure your boys will make excellent Big Brothers! Take care and keep us all posted! Again, congrats! God Bless!
So Happy for your growing family!
Congratulations!! Best wishes!
Congratulations!! I’m sure Einstein & Duke will be fantastic big brothers!!
January babies are AWESOME!!!! My third little guy was born last January 14th. He is 6 months old today and just got his first tooth….next July you may be saying something similar. Congrats!!!!
From fur-babies to real babies, congrats!
Congratulations! A brown eyed BABY! Awesome news!
Congratulations!! How exciting! I never had any food aversions, my sense of smell just became extremely heightened which was quite unwelcome in some situations–there are definitely times you don’t want to be able to smell everything in a one-mile radius! ;)
Congratulation!!!
Congratulations! Best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy. I am loving that my two favorite bloggers (you and Jessica from How Sweet Eats) are pregnant at the same time.
How wonderful , I’m sure Duke and Einstein will love the baby. Love the pictures with the shirts!!
Congratulations!!! What terrific news!
Congratulations!!! Wonderful news :-)
Congratulations!!! Einstein and Duke will be jealous but they are the most loving dogs and will warm up to the baby in no time! Good luck and best wishes for a healthy pregnancy!
OMG Im so happy for you! That’s so exciting! That little kid is going to have a great mom! And a lot of yummy meals :-)
Congratulations and thanks for sharing the great news! Thank you for making our lives so happy with your posts and recipes. Now we can shower you with happiness! Best to you!
Congratulations!!
Congratulations to you. So exciting.
How very exciting! Congratulations. Enjoy every single moment of it.
A Big Congratulations! Love the boys shirts. Looking forward to hearing about any food craving. May inspire new recipes!
Congratulations!
Congrats! Hope your chocolate aversion passes soon. I was nauseated by garlic during my entire pregnancy. Lol.
Congratulations
Michelle, this is wonderful news. You made my day! Congrats to all of you.
Congratulations!! I’m so happy for you!!
Congratulation, I hope the distaste for chocolate passes!
Congrats! I was actually Googling some stuff because I am pregnant as well, and this came up as a recent update.
Congratulations Michelle!! So glad to hear your happy news!
SO over the moon excited that you guys have made me an Auntie!! CAN.NOT.WAIT. to meet (and more importantly) spoil this little peanut. <3
CONGRATS!!! As a mom of 5 I know how excited you must be feeling!
Wonderful news!
Denise
So so excited for you guys! Congratulations!!
Congratulations Michelle!!! Good things happen in threes- you, Jessica @howsweeteats… Who is next?!!
Congratulations Michelle! I am so excited for you!! Years ago when I first got pregnant, before I actually knew, I couldn’t figure out what was wrong with me. I was 20 and it was 3:00 in the afternoon and I was so tired. I kept thinking “what is wrong with me?” Of course when I found out why it made total sense. With my 1st pregnancy I couldn’t eat anything spicy or I got really bad indigestion, with the 2nd pregnancy it was summer and I love fresh tomatoes and corn on the cob – but if I even thought about eating them I felt sick. Isn’t that funny how everyone has a food they normally love but can’t eat? You will now have another Culinary Consultant to try your dishes out on!!! I had to laugh at myself when I saw your bump. When I was 40, long after my two children were born, after years of having a flat stomach, I got a bump, I guess it’s my 40 year old bump? I can’t for the life of me get rid of it. Not dieting or anything else has worked, so I’ve grown to accept it. Sorry, but it was just funny to see your bump because it something I see all the time on me and that just made me laugh. :) Enjoy your pregnancy and remember, you can always come back to your readers here for advice/questions, we’ll be glad to give it!
Congratulations! There is nothing quite as exciting as a new baby. The little bump is adorable. I’m looking forward to watching it grow. I have teenagers now, so I am always thrilled about new babies.
Congratulations! And the pups look adorable as always =)
Congratulations!!
Congrats!!! Big Hugs for all Four of You!!
Congratulations and best wishes!!!! You’re going to have a beautiful and well fed baby!!!!
Congratulations to you both (well… four of you:))!!!!!!
Congratulations! I’m thinking that maybe a chocolate aversion is better than a chocolate obsession
yay, congratulations!! very, very happy for you :)
Congratulations from our crew here in Menomonee Falls! May your little one never know anything other than good food, fellowship, the joy of cooking (for oneself, for the challenge of creation, and for the love of others), and how awesome it is to have Einstein and Duke for furry bigger brothers!
Congratulations! Einstein and Duke will be such good big brothers. So happy for you. :)
Congrats:) Such a special time…enjoy the journey!
I look forward to updates, hope you have a healthy pregnancy!
So wonderful! Very happy for you! Congratulations!!
Congratulations!!! Soooo excited for you! Having a baby is the best thing ever :D:D:D But not at first. At first it SUCKS. Haha just a warning. Everyone told us about how great it is but not how hard it is. You’ll be such a cute mommy!
Awesome news! Congratulations! Love your blog (it’s my favorite!) and love love love Einstein and Duke. Let us know if they sense your pregnancy! Best wishes to your growing family.
Congrats! For all of you! The boys will be such great big brothers! They can get on each side of her/him and teach her/him to walk! Get pictures!
OMG!! Congratulations!!! My daughter was born on 1/12/74. I couldn’t stand ham and I LOVE ham!! I craved peanut butter and I wasn’t a peanut butter lover, though I like it now. Go Figure!! And tired!!! Oh, Girl…… talk about tired!!! But once the doctor adjusted my vitamins and I got more air and exercise, I felt more lively.
You enjoy your pregnancy. We can live without the chocolate recipes (maybe,) until you get back in the mood. Again, congratulations!! :) So exciting!!
Congratulations!
I’ve been a silent reader for a whole now, but I just wanted to say congrats! I’m so happy for you!
congratulations that is awesome!!!
CONGRATS!!!
I am a loyal follower and am so happy for you – being a mom is the best! I am dying laughing at your picture because I too am pregnant (15 weeks) and we used the same shirt to announce it on our son!!! Enjoy this fun time and take advantage of the second trimester energy – the chocolate love may come back soon!!!!
CONGRATULATIONS! When I saw the heading, I said to myself…”she’s pregnant.’ (do I have esp or what!?)
I am thrilled for both of you!! The pic is soooo cute!!
They are going to be GREAT ‘big brothers!’ Take care of yourself!
Congrats!
Congrats! SO happy and excited for you guys! Feel like I know you well since I’ve been following you for over 2 years now. Such exciting news. And that’s an adorable way to announce it :) best of luck for a healthy and happy pregnancy!
gloria
Congratulations that is great news. Tiredness and aversion to perfume, coffee – I remember it well but it passes and is so worth it.
I am very happy for you….I hope your pregnancy goes well and that you have a healthy baby.
Congratulations!!!!!!
If you’re not sick of hearing it yet, congratulations! I can attest that golden retrievers make EXCELLENT baby sitters- my mom loves to tell the story of how she found two year old me taking a nap in the doghouse with the puppies.
Congrats!! So exciting!
Congrats! I’m a long time follower of your blog and frequent baker of your recipes. So excited for you!
CONGRATULATIONS! I slept through most of my first trimester(s) but then was fine! ENJOY!
Congratulations!
Congrats! What a cute baby bump!
Congrats! I had no desire of chocolate when pregnant for my son, but loved chocolate ice cream with my daughter. It’s very strange. Good luck!
Awesome news, congrats!
Congrats!! :)
Aww YAY! Huge congratulations, Michelle & CCC! I totally empathize with you – I couldn’t handle chocolate with either of my pregnancies. Best wishes for a healthy and easy pregnancy :)
Congratulations, Michelle! Enjoy your pregnancy! :)
WONDERFUL!! And I hope the chocolate aversion goes away soon! I’ve had just the opposite. I would like everything chocolate all the time always. Best of luck for a healthy pregnancy!
How exciting! In a couple of weeks you’ll be able to find out the sex, will you tell us? I have no advice for the aversions or tiredness, I didn’t have that in my 3 pregnancies, but instead gained over 50# with each, so there’s that. But, I do recommend that you read, “Natural Childbirth the Bradley Way” – even if you plan to have drugs at your birth, this is hands down the best book explaining the process of childbirth and the emotional phases a laboring women goes through. That’s my $.02.
Congratulations, may you be free of morning sickness and have a painless delivery!
say goodbye to life as you know it and hello to lots of bills (and I mean that in a good way) God bless you and your new family.
Congratulations! I’m so happy for you. I look forward to seeing pics of the new little one. You’re due just a month after my daughter. (grandbaby # 8) Duke is just a couple weeks younger than our Dixie. She’s a black lab & rottweiler mix. It’s fun to compare their growth.
I am a loyal follower and therefore I feel like I know you (that’s probably creepy)! But this is SO EXCITING, and congratulations! Your pregnancy so far sounds similar to both of mine…mild nausea, very tired, and more food aversions than cravings. I have a girl and boy and both pregnancies were almost identical, just the aversions changed, so I can’t offer a guess as to what it might be! But YAY!
Wao Michelle, these are super happy news. Thousands of blessings for you!
What wonderful news! Enjoy every minute of this most amazing time in your life. You will know no other love that will consume you like that of this little miracle.
Congratulations!!!
Yay!! Congratulations!! I just love those pups too, they look just like my Lily :)
Una gran bendicion, felicidades!!! A great blessing congrats!!!
Congratulations!!! How exciting!!!
Have been following your blog for a few years – Einstein drew me in, my son has a golden retriever – Congratulations on the new addition to you family – you will be a wonderful parents.
Congratulations to you and your family. Aaawww that’s so precious!!!!!!!!!
Michelle, I’m so excited for you. Hope everything goes well. The extreme tiredness will pass soon.
Congratulations!!! Yippee!!
Congrats!! Yes you should have your baby January 12th, my grandson’s birthday who will be 21.
Congratulations!!!! Wishing you have happy and easy pregnancy!
Big congrats on your exciting news!!!
Congratulations! Such an exciting time!!
Congratulations Michelle! What wonderful news – so happy for you and your husband.
Hooray!! Congratulations :D
Congratulations! I’m at the tailend of my pregnancy (due in 2 weeks!) but can remember how exciting it was to first see the bump. I can also remember the nausea and exhaustion! :) Best wishes for a smooth pregnancy!
Wonderful news! Congratulations to you, your husband, and the big brothers-to-be.
WOW—–how fabulous!!!!!! My most sincere congratulations—this is going to be one lucky baby!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Happy Happy Joy Joy!!!!
Congratulations!!!
congratulations! Wishing you all the best! I am also sure your boys will be instant best friends with the baby :)
Congrats!!! Recipe for raising a child….unconditional love and patience! That’s it!
Congratulations!
That is VERY exciting news! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! Very exciting news!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!
Congrats Michelle! I’m so happy for you and the family! I, too, hope your chocolate aversion passes because I so love your sweet recipes!
Congrats!!
Congrats to you!!!
Congratulations! So sad to have an aversion to chocolate…but well worth the temporary suffrage.
What fantastic news. The boys are going to be great big brothers.
Now you are going to have a first-hand opportunity to create recipes and provide helpful food hints for other pregnant women who are experiencing similar food/smell aversions and the other accompanying symptoms of pregnancy.
I’m sure that new mothers will anxiously await your baby food recipes when the time comes.
Don’t worry about the exhaustion, take it easy for now while your body adjusts. As your pregnancy progresses you will find your energy level increasing.
Exercise, eat healthy, take your prenatal vitamins and enjoy!
Yay! Congrats! I’m due on January 18th, so we’re basically twins. Except this is my 2nd child (but my third pregnancy), so my bump popped out much sooner and I already look like I’m 7 months pregnant. Whatevs.
Awww congrats! That’s so exciting to hear about!!
CONGRATULATIONS MICHELLE!
Truly a blessing!
Congrats..
Congratulations!! So happy for you!! And you enjoy those naps. You are working hard growing that baby!
Hugging them? More like wrestling them into their big brother shirts, right?
Congratulations!
How very exciting, I’ve been reading you since about a year after you started blogging, so I feel like an old friend just gave me the big news!
Don’t feel bad about not able to touch chocolate, it’s a bummer, but the craving will return…. I LOVE chocolate but couldn’t even smell it when I was pregnant with my daughter… Not sure what happens there, but both she and I are BBBIIIGGGGG chocolate fans!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Wonderful news for you and hubby! I will be following your great news as well as my daughter -in -law who is also expecting Jan 15th…..
SO RIDICULOUSLY ECSTATIC!!!!
i have no words.
xoxoxoxox
Congratulations,wish you the best!
Congrats!! I just had a baby in January and I didn’t like sweets the entire time. This was very unlike me because I have a mega sweet tooth. I did however crave sweet potatoes and regular potatoes. Enjoy the journey!
Awwww. So excited for you! What a blessing! Your boys will be awesome big brothers! I have 2 Goldens also…girls, & they are awesome, loving, & patient girls with their little brothers (boys 2&4). Your boys will be protective of you these next 6 months! Congratulations & enjoy everyday of your pregnancy & those awesome little baby kicks inside! :)
congrats!!!
What an exciting time in life! Enjoy it! Just think of the chocolate aversion as your pre-parenting lesson: Just like all stages in parenting, the no chocolate stage (as annoying as it may be) will pass even though it seems like it’s taking forever to get there. Congratulations!
Great news! CONGRATULATIONS!
Congrats to you and all your family. I hope everything goes really well for you!
CONGRATULATIONS!! Such sweet pictures! So happy and excited for you!!
Yay! Congrats! I’m pregnant with my third. Its such a fun time, enjoy it!
Ahhhhhhh congratulations!!!!!!!
This is fabulous news! Congratulations! Babies are such a joy.
Congratulations to your family!! Best thing ever to have a baby. I can’t imagine how I thought life was good before my son, because it’s 100x more amazing now!!
Congratulations Michelle!! that is so exciting, i wish you all the best during your pregnacy :)
Congrats and God bless!
Congratulations! Definitely look into Baby Led Weaning when the time comes for solid foods. As a fellow foodie, you will love it.
Thanks for the recommendation!!
Congrats!!!! I’m so happy for you and your family.
Congratulations!! What a wonderful gift! Sorry to hear about the chocolate, hopefully that changes soon!!!
What wonderful news Michelle! Congratulations to you and your CCC! Get all the rest you can! Love the shirts on Duke & Einstein!

Congratulations!!! What an exciting time for you. Einstein and Duke will be such great big brothers. Thanks for sharing.
What great news…I am so excited for all of you! I agree with the other ladies, do not feel guilty about napping. It’s a lot of work for your body, building that miracle! Blessings and best wishes. xxx
Savor every moment. It is a great time in your life.
This is so exciting. Congratulations!!
OMG! I am so happy for you! Your mom must be so excited. Get as much sleep as you can. Unfortunately, it’s not cumulative. Thanx for the baby bump shot. Congrats!
HUGE congrats, Michelle! You’re going to be the best mom!
Soooo happy for you! Keep us posted!
I am so excited for you and your hubby! Having a baby is such a blessing and I should know cause I have 3 beautiful girls! I remeber those days of not being able to eat fried foods, potatoes and hated chamomile tea. It will pass after you have your preciuos little one. They say if you are tried and sleep alot then you will have a girl but thats just a wives tale cause only God knows for sure. What ever you are having I pray that she or he will be healthy, happy and beautiful! Congratulations and keep on posting those wonderful receipes! God bless!
Oh, congratulations to you! The pups will love their little sister/brother! Cannot wait to see what you bake for his/her first birthday!
Hooray!! So happy for your family to enter this new phase in life and so thankful you have chosen to share the joy with all of your fans! Congratulations!

Congratulations to the BEB family! It seems that all the food bloggers I follow are pregnant right now. I had that exhaustion with my first pregnancy too – would come home from work, pass out on the couch, and then get up in time to go to bed. It passes! Wishing you a happy, healthy pregnancy!! :)

Congratulations! What wonderful news!
Thank you for sharing it with us.
Awe so happy for you CONGRATS
Congratulations. I remember that mind-numbing exhaustion. Just remember how much work your body is doing right now to build a tiny human. Remembering that certainly made me feel more productive on days when I didn’t seem to manage anything else. Enjoy this first season of motherhood, it is beautiful.
Congratulations! Babies are such blessings! So happy for you and your family!
Congratulations!!! What wonderful news for you and your family! I have been following you for a while now and I am so happy for you all. Thanks for sharing the news.

Monica from Toronto
Congratulations!! That is wonderful!
What happy, happy news! Congratulations to you and your family!!
I just KNEW that’s what you were going to say as soon as I saw the subject line. My biggest congrulations to the entire bloomin’ family, especially Einstein and Duke. You couldn’t have any better 4-legged big brothers for a little one. Lucy, who has been known to just plow into me or any adult as if you’re not even there, walk so gently and so delicately around a little toddler just learning to walk that it left me speechless, she even controlled her tail, all without me having to say a word to her about being “easy”. But it shouldn’t surprise any of us, after all, goldens are known as the “mothers” of the dog kingdom. They’ll try to mother and care for almost any sort of baby or injured creature.
Congrats!!!! What terrific news!
Congratz Mich :) soooo excited for you and your hubby. I wish you all the best. You little bundle of joy is very lucky to have you as a mommy. You are going to be fantastic!!!!
Congrats!
BTW, forgot to add that in January, I was the one who made the cake for the gender reveal party. I made an actual 3-D baby to top a full sheet cake, which I torted and filled with fresh raspberry filling laced with framboise. That day between when I found out , and until the cake was cut, was one of the longest days of my life! Anyway, if you can send me an email address, I’ll send you pictures.
Congratulations!!! All the best too you and your family!! Hopefully you will enjoy your chocolate again soon!!! Salty snacks and recipes might be better for now!!
Oh, Michelle! I’m so excited for you! I’ve been wondering when you were going to start a little “human” family! I know those two boys of yours are going to be great big brothers! I can’t wait to see your little bump progress in the coming months!
So excited for you. Congratulations!
What blessed news, Michelle! Our first grandchild celebrates her 6 week birthday today, so I’m no stranger to a new little one in life. Your bump is so cute! All the best and much love to you, your CCC and the little one.
Congratulations! I am so very happy for you! Bummer on the chocolate, but that’s ok. Sleep as much as possible! Can’t wait to hear more in future blogs.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!! Very happy for you and your family.
Congratulations!!
Congratulations!! Love the t-shirts on the boys and best wishes for a happy and healthy pregnancy!! I’m 31 weeks with my 3rd and I hear you on the exhaustion!!
Best wishes and prayers for a safe and healthy pregnancy!
That’s exciting news, congratulations.
Oh how exciting! Congratulation to you & your husband!
Congrats! I am so happy for you two (and the puppies, too!)

SO SO HAPPY FOR YOU !!!!!!!!
Little baby – BIG changes! Congratulations on the wonderful news! Your lives will be forever changed in ways you can’t even begin to imagine now–mostly (99+%) for the better. :-)
congrats! that’s the cutest little bump!
Congratulations! It’s such an exciting time! I was also extremely tired with my first pregnancy, but it does pass. I didn’t get the ad version to chocolate though. All I craved were Swiss rolls and Lucky Charms – basically anything I use to eat as a kid!
Congratulations!!!! Enjoy every moment with your child. I have two boys…26 and 21. Hard to believe they’re grown. Then you never hear from them……you never write, you never call…………. Enjoy them.
How exciting! It must have been hard not telling us! What a lucky baby! Stay healthy and get your rest!
So exciting!
So happy for you!!! Sleep. Nap. And enjoy your pregnancy.
Congratulations!!!! Being a momma is the best!
Congrats!!!
So exciting congrats!
Aww- that’s awesome! Congrats! Kids are the most life-fulfilling wonders you can imagine! Looking forward to some kid- friendly recipes too!
Congratulations, Mama! :D
So exciting and so incredibly happy for you! :)
I’m so happy for you, your husband, your dogs, and the rest of your family. Remember to let your first ‘kids’ be a part of this great adventure (and what an adventure it will be!).
:-) :-) :-)
CONGRATULATIONS! I was wondering when you and your consultant would be having a baby! Now you’ll have to post some baby food recipes!! :D
Oh, I remember sending my husband for a chocolate milkshake – I needed it so bad…. But when he got home just the smell made me sick. He enjoyed the results of his errand ;-) I have five beautiful children with the youngest twin 13 yr olds. Keep a private journal of your thoughts and feelings (physical and emotional) — the whole process. It will not only bring you joy, but someday this little person will be so excited to see it, too! Naps are a have to now since you are making another person! Just make it part of your schedule. Your greatest job in the world is before you – congratulations! May you have health and strength!!!!
Ahhh!!! Congrats!!!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! That is very exciting!
Congratulations!! You will find it is the best thing you ever “baked”! When my sister was pregnant with her son, she couldn’t listen to Jackson Brown (her favorite artist at the time) and I couldn’t read women’s magazines with food in them, with my first! And I love to cook!! (been cooking since I was 7) but looking at pictures of food made me plain old sick…LOL…Can’t WAIT to see your progress, and who pops out..!
cogratulations!!!
Congratulations! I have enjoyed reading your blog and will enjoy reading all about your pregnancy and baby. Such an exciting time in your lives!
That is so exciting!! My fiancee and I are expecting as well and I am due on the 15th of January! Going to be a lot of great holiday treats for us coming up!
Congrats!!! Such exciting news :)
Huge congratulations, Michelle! I’m so happy for you. January 12th is my dad’s birthday, so that’s a good day :)
Such exciting news! Congratulations :-)
Congratulations!!!! Thanks very much for keeping the recipes coming through the first trimester, I wasn’t so productive in that first stage of pregnancy.
All the best for this very happy time!
Congratulations!! This is exciting!!
Congratulations! Happy pregnancy! Such an exciting and wonderful time. Stay well.
Congratulations!! That’s so exciting!! The puppies will be great buddies for the baby.
Congrats! What a great day to be due ;)
Wonderful News!!!! Congratulations!
I am so excited for you! Being a momma is a wonderful thing! Will be praying for you through your pregnancy. It is one of the best things that can happen to any woman.
Congratulations! LOVE Einstein and Duke’s announcement shirts! They will be great big brothers to your little 2-legged guy or gal! :-) For the sake of ALL of us I pray the chocolate aversion passes quickly! :-)
Absolutely Fantastic! And the first time you feel the little peanut stirring, you will fall in love.
Congratulations!!!!!
Congratulations…what wonderful and exciting news!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you!
Congratulations! Your child will never want for delicious food in your house! Now…if you can only get him/her to try it. ;)
I love reading your blog and trying your recipes. I look forward to seeing your progress through the pregnancy!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! A new and wonderful adventure to embark on!
Congratulations!
Congratulations! What wonderful news! You should nap at every opportunity–you’re growing a baby!
A sincere congratulations to you, your husband and the two big bros! Such exciting news.You will have such fun getting all things baby ready for the little one. I am wondering if you plan to find out the sex or if you are going for the big surprise? Also, I am thinking something must be in the water in Pittsburg these days. Jessica @ How Sweet Eats made a baby announcment last week as well.
Take good are, rest as you need to and enjoy every new, exciting day. Oh, and I have to ask…how did you ever manage to get those t-shirts on not one but two big dogs???
Hi Nancy, Thank you! We’re still undecided about whether we’re going to find out the sex. We won’t be able to until the 20-week ultrasound, so we have a little time to decide. Haha, yes, definitely something in the Pittsburgh water! Einstein is so totally agreeable to everything, he just stood there while I put the shirt on him. Duke was a little bit more of a challenge, but thankfully they both sit still for treats :)
Hi Michelle,
Thanks for the reply. I really do have a visual in my head about the t-shirt “procedure”. It must have been a hoot. I vote( not that you are asking,lol) for the big surprise. I have friends who learned the sex as soon as they could and others who chose to wait. The friends who waited have said that there is no other surprise in life that is quite as amazing, joyous and special. If you do chose to know early on, make the reveal special too…maybe have the ultrasound tech write it down, seal it up and you and your husband can plan a special reveal just for the two of you alone. Again, congratualtions. I feel like I know you and I am so happy to hear this wonderful news.
Just a comment on this because so many people talk about the “surprise” element of finding out the sex at the end – but it’s a surprise no matter when you find out, it’s really about when and the circumstances you are in when you get that surprise. Personally, I wasn’t a fan of finding out with my legs up in stirrups :-) The other thing I’ll say (and then shut up about it), is that the mothers I know who waited said that they were a little too surprised, as in they expected one sex and got another, and it took them awhile to adjust to it in their heads and hearts. One of them, my sister, said she didn’t even realize that she had expected a boy until her daughter was born, and then she was like, “really, you’re sure it’s a girl?”
Congratulations on your wonderful baby news! I love reading your blog for the great recipes and to see what your Einstein & Duke are up to.
Congratulations!
Yay!! Congratulations! I’m pregnant too (About 23 weeks) so I always get excited hearing/reading about others who are heading down the same path. My energy came back around week 16 and it happened within a day. One day I needed lots of naps, the next day I woke up and felt ready to take on anything. So excited for you and I look forward to hearing how the rest of your pregnancy (and beyond) goes.
Sooooooooo excited for you and your family! Congratulations! All my favorite food
blog peeps are preggers…. yippie. Cant wait to follow your journey.
much love
D
Yay! Congratulations! I’m currently 24 weeks pregnant and for the first few months I also had an aversion to chocolate – it tasted like chalk! Luckily that has passed and things are back to normal. Best of luck to you over the next few months – here’s hoping you remain mostly symptom free :)
What wonderful news! I am sure your baby will eat well, and you will share some of your marvelous recipes for ‘homemade baby food’ in the process … :-) And Einstein and Duke will so enjoy their new baby brother or sister. Looking forward to lots of cute photos! Congratuations to you and your husband!
Congrats to you and your family!!! Cant wait to hear about your progress and then the sweet pictures once baby is here :) Such great news for my Monday!
So happy for you both. Hope the pregnancy and birth goes smoothly. Keep us (your followers) posted on developments!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! I know you are thrilled. I am currently 21 weeks with our first baby, a sweet little girl. Pregnancy is such an exciting time — enjoy every minute!
I knew something was up when I saw the title of this post! ;) Haha, congratulations!
Congratulations!! I am happy for you both – very exciting news!
Congrats, Michelle! When you posted the pix of you in the recliner, I wondered if you were ill – now I know why you were taking it easy. So happy for you two!
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations! That is so exciting and am sure Duke and Einstein will jus love him or her. Keep napping, and yes, the desire for Chocolate will return.
When I first saw the picture i thought, ‘wow, another puppy?!’ To be honest, I thought you were a little crazy. But I was wrong. CONGRATULATIONS! I look forward to following your pregnancy.
YAAAAY! :-) Congratulations! :-) The pictures are adorable! How exciting! But chocolate….really?! I am sorry to hear that part for you. ;)
Ahhhh! So exciting!!!! Congrats on the big news!
That’s just awesome news! Congratulations! Parenthood is a great adventure!
Woohoo! I’m so happy for you! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.
Ah congrats! And don’t worry, your energy WILL come back. I felt so tired I could barely take it and around week 15 or so I FINALLY started to feel normal and energized again!
I knew it when I saw the title. Yayyyyy. Congrats!!!!!!
Congratulations!! I just had a little one two weeks ago today and let me just tell you, it’s all worth it! Every bit of it! Pregnancy takes a strong woman and it’s so special, yet not easy, but what you get in the end is the best reward you could ever ask for :) Our two dogs have taken a bit to adjust, but they do just thst and in no time, you’ll feel like you never knew what it was like not to have a baby around and they will feel thst way too. How exciting! I hope your dislike for chocolate goes away soon!! Crazy hoe pregnancy does that! I hated cucumbers before I was pregnant and now I love them! Fish was my good adversion and I still don’t care for it as much now, but you have to love chocolate again someday, it just wouldn’t be right otherwise!
Congrats again!!
That’s so wonderful and exciting!!!! I can already see the baby climbing all over Einstein and Duke :-). Keep the monthly baby bump photos coming :-)
Congratulations! What wonderful news! Wishing you a healthy pregnancy.
Your post made smile. Congratulations!
What happy news! Congratulations!
Congratulations! You will be an AWESOME mom! What a wonderful time in your life…. Enjoy every minute ( including the naps!).
Oh Michelle! how exciting! congratulations to you and your husband on your new addition…
Yay! Congratulations! I thought something was up……I did notice drop in chocolate recipes? So, so happy for you & CCC & the big brothers!
Congratulations! So happy to hear this news!
Congratulations!!! How exciting for you and your family!!! I can’t wait to follow this journey w/ you!!! :-)
Couldn’t be happier for all of you. Please listen to your body and take advantage of those naps, it’s your system asking you for help to produce this beautiful new addition to your family. Thank goodness the temporary food issue is chocolate and not peanut butter, you would really be disappointed, but this too shall pass. Best Wishes and can’t wait to hear all about everything.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! What wonderful news to start a Monday morning!! Wishing you and your family the very very best!!!
This is wonderful news! Congratulations to you and the family!
Congratss! I saw the subject and guessed it was a child. I just hope it’s born on the 13th, because… THATS MY BIRTHDAY! Another Steelers Capricorn so exciting.

Congratulations to you Michelle and to your CCC. We’;; be with all the way!

Enjoy you time now so you can savor all the changes as they happen, because time will go so fast and before you know it January will be here. I wrote letters once a month to my baby (we didn’t want to know the sex) so they would know just how much I loved them before I even met them! Good luck and get lots of sleep!
Congratulations! Becoming a mom is a wonderful, hard, exciting, overwhelming, and the best thing to ever happen (to me).
So happy for you! I loved being pregnant, it felt so……different. Wait till that little one pushes with his feet or rolls over in your womb. Crazy good feeling!

Great news! Take advantage of those naps! Congrats!

Congratulations, Michelle!!! That is such wonderful news. I so remember those days during first trimester when I felt like I’d been hit by a bus & couldn’t keep my eyes open. Hopefully it will pass for you during 2nd trimester :)
Also wanted to tell you I made 3 of your recipes this past weekend: gyros, baklava, & S’Mores ice cream…omg, they were all 3 AMAZING. Seriously, so incredibly good, my husband & I were singing your praises :)
Congrats again! So happy for you & your hubby!!
Yay!!! Awesome!
Congratulations! So happy for all of you. Einstein and Duke will be the BEST big brothers! Such exciting news!
Hearty congratulations, but I already suspected it. I cannot remember what triggered the notion that you were pregnant, but I have been waiting for you to “spill the beans”.
Einstein and Duke will be great company for your child. You and your family must be over the moon.
Congratulations!!
Congratulations! Naps were a big part of my life while pregnant. I was also going to eat gallons of peanut & jelly ice cream. Love peanut anything. When pregnant I could not even look at it for the whole 9 months.
Congrats!! I went through the tired spell, too. After that, pregnancy was a breeze!
Can’t wait for updates!
Congratuations! I wish you a happy, healthy and calm pregnancy!
