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! ❤️
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!

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!
