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! ❤️
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!!!!!
