IT’S A BOY! :)
Joseph is going to have a little brother and we couldn’t be more excited! Now we need to pick a name :)



Congrats! I wish gender reveals were a “thing” when I was pregnant w/ my daughter (17 yrs ago – yikes!). So fun!!
Congratulations! (i guessed boy too). How exciting for you all!! He and Joseph will have such fun together!
Woohoo and congratulations! What a fun way to let everyone in on your secret and what a cute pair I’m sure your boys will be.
Congratulations! Since I already thought you were having a boy guess I am not surprised. Hope your next months are good and you have a healthy little boy.
Congratulations Michelle, Thankyou for sharing your happy news with us. Just wanted to ask if you are still able to finish your rainbow blanket, I know you mention that when you were carrying Joseph you started to suffer with carpal tunnel.
When you do finish maybe Joseph and his little brother could share it ????
Couldn’t be happier for you. I have two grown boys. It’s the best. Although some Barbies in my life would have been nice!!! All the best to you.
So happy for you. Congratulations!
I have two brothers and it is one of my biggest blessings in life! I am the middle child and have always felt loved and protected by them. Plus, they are super close now that we are all adults!!! Congratulations, I am truly so happy that my role model/ idol is such a blessed and happy woman! I can’t wait to let my mom know! (We look at your Joseph pictures all of the time when I go home on Sundays, usually after gobbling up one of your delicious dessert recipes or a big plate of pasta with your insane sauce and meatballs!)
So happy for you! Congrats!
Congrats!!
Watching two brothers grow and bond together is simply one of the best things in life!
Such happy news I got up each morning to check to see if you had the reveal for us. I am so happy for your family and thanks for sharing with your BEB family.
Congratulations!
Congrats! We are due with a baby girl in under 3 weeks! Ekkk!
This is the happiest of news, Michelle! I’m so excited for you. Joseph is very loving with Einstein & Duke and will be absolutely the best big brother to his new little brother when he arrives. The cupcakes are such a great idea too. I do pray that the rest of your pregnancy is blessed with ease and health and wonderful memories. Enjoy this time. I’m really sorry that some felt the need to be so selfish and rude on YOUR blog as you share your wonderful news with us. Many blessings are wished for you and your family and hugs sent to you. XO
Congratulations to you and your little family! Joseph will be such a great big bro and how much fun will you have at all those junior hockey practices! Thanks for sharing your special joy with all of your followers.
Phhewww. I am glad you clarified. I thought you were having a Smurf. :-) Congrats! And I love the idea of the cupcakes to reveal. Awesome idea, and they look delicious.
I have three sons and they are a joy. Congrats to you and your beautiful family.
Congratulations Michelle and family. I couldn’t be happier for you. I love the special way you broke the news to your family. You always make these celebrations memorable. (When I grow up, I want to be you!) Being the mom of two sons has it special joys. My two are in their 20’s now so I get my toddler fix from you and your wonderful blog.
Congratulations!
So very happy for you Michelle. May this little boy bring joy and happiness. You are very special to be blessed with sons.
Yay! Such happy news! I couldn’t wait to hear!! So excited for you!
How exciting! Thank you for sharing with us! He will be so blessed!
Oh Michelle, congrats to you and your beautiful family. This means you will share more Friday cuteness of all the boys, yeah us!!!! So so happy for you. Please delete these insane people on your comments section. Reveal away sister friend. God Bless! ?
Congratulations on your announcement. May you have a smooth easy pregnancy and delivery and a healthy child. Going to be loaded with a bunch of testosterone in your home-not a bad thing at all.
And if you could find a way to delete some previous comments, that would be a good thing.
Congratulations Michelle…Im sure Joseph will be a lovely big brother, not to mention, Einstein and Duke :-) xx
Congratz BEB! You are surrounded by all the boys!
So happy for you all and I bet Joseph is thrilled! Congrats!!!
Does it really matter if it’s a boy or a girl? What if he or she decides that the gender assigned at birth is not accurate. I’m so tired of this whole gender reveal bs. Maybe just celebrate that you have a healthy child and leave the rest alone??????
Kara,
Since you seem to be so opinionated, here’s mine to you: how bout you shut the hell up!
Clearly Michelle has been excited about having a healthy baby. So my advice to you is to shut your mouth from now on.
You should go suck a d*ck. Maybe that’ll help you to keep you from speaking such stupid things.
* Michelle: congrats!!!! So excited for you and your family! Thank you for sharing this exciting news with us!!!
I’m not sure an inappropriate response to an inappropriate comment really makes things more…appropriate.
I don’t think a comment like this is really appropriate. It’s their child and they want to let people know it is a boy and I don’t think it’s anyone’s right to judge them for that.
If you were a child, any decent parent would require that you, at the minimum, apologize. Maybe you could be an adult to yourself…..shame on you.
OH. SO WE CAN ONLY CELEBRATE HEALTHY BABIES NOW? you’ve got your own biases “Kara” now don’t you? “What if he she decides the gender assigned is not accurate?” So what?? What if a healthy baby later gets sick, should we then NOT celebrate the baby being healthy now? Stfu Kara. Seriously.
Oh god, and they say Social Justice Warriors are a myth.
Yep, Kara, you got it. Everyone is transgender, gay, asexual, or all of those at the same time. Bravo. You’ve cracked the code. Doesn’t matter that 99.7% of people with penises are male and people with vaginas are female. Nope! Everyone is trans.
I really can’t believe your rudeness. You had an option to read this great announcement and leave best wishes but you chose to be rude. This is when your opinion should have been kept to yourself because it absolutely doesn’t matter what you think or what you’re tired of.
Don’t listen to them Kara. I happen to agree that it is wrong that people force gender stereotypes on their children before they’re even born. I am a woman who has short hair and doesn’t wear makeup and most people who see me assume I’m either a man or a lesbian. I’m a straight woman married to a man yet when I go to a restaurant with him waitresses say things like, “Are you two gentlemen going to split the check?” I have a very feminine face and voice, but people are programmed to expect certain things. Things I have never been and had to fight against my entire life. Things like being the only woman in my engineering classes. These expectations are harmful to all of us. Maybe being transgender wouldn’t be such a big deal if people didn’t try so hard enforce outdated gender roles and stereotypes. I’m not trying to attack Michelle or anyone else for this, but I think it’s a conversation I think we need to have as a society. I would like to say shame on you ladies who felt they had to attack Kara for her opinion. You only made yourselves look like assholes.
Everyone is ‘entitled’ to an opinion. Where to express those opinions appropriately is a matter of taste, manners, grace, intelligence….you know, those attributes that make a decent human being. Oh, sorry, apparently neither you or Kara know this.
Well, what you just wrote doesn’t make you look like a decent human being either. Maybe you should take your own advice.
I agree with Tavona that forced gender stereotypes are harmful. I’ve experienced it myself. But obviously this blog isn’t the right place to have a decent conversation about that topic.
Nevertheless, I wish Michelle nothing but the best for her family!
I absolutely agree. This is neither the time nor place.
The reason this topic is a problem is because no one seems to think there is an appropriate time or place to discuss it. This is a blog. She puts her thoughts out on the internet and leaves a comment section. That is asking for a discussion. Just because you don’t like the direction this discussion is going doesn’t mean I’m a bad person. She has the option to delete these comments if they upset her. I would if I were her. Someone thought it was ok to tell someone else to suck a d*ck to shut them up because they disagreed with an opinion in a comments section. I also think that since this topic has had such a backlash of ignorance and hate that maybe this is the perfect place to bring it up. I’m calmly and thoughtfully disagreeing with something I think has very negatively affected our society. I didn’t turn nasty. I didn’t scream. I normally don’t comment on anything, but I saw someone being attacked for talking about something that negatively impacts me everyday and I wanted them to feel like someone else had their back. That they weren’t alone because some of the responses were just nasty.
All I can say is I feel sorry for you. It sounds like you are a very unhappy person. My prayers go out to you for a softened heart.
You have GOT to be kidding me with your pretension. This blog is about a woman and her life and her baking, not your opinions and your insecurities. Please refrain from talking to people like that completely.
Another BOY! Congrats a million times!!!
