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!
Save This Recipe
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! ❤️



Congratulations to the whole family!
congrats, Einstein and Duke will make worthy brothers. take it easy.
Congratulations! I am so happy for you!!!!!
Congrats! Your two elder sons (Einstein and Duke) are just beautiful!
Wow, wow, wow!!!!! Michelle, I am so happy for you. Your family will be in my prayers, and many, many, many, many more blessings.
Congratulation! I am so very excited for you and your family. Those two are going to have a blast with the baby and will be so protective. 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!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you! I think it’s cute that you and your friend Jessica from How Sweet it Is pregnant at the same time. :)
Great news! Take advantage of those naps! Congrats!
Congratulations!
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!
