Joseph has BIG News!
It’s a big election year, so Joseph got in on the action with his own campaign :)
His “running mate” is due to arrive on October 4, 2016. We’re so excited!!
So far, the pregnancy has gone very well. I am 15 weeks today and since it would have been my dad’s 63rd birthday, and it’s the 1-year anniversary of Joseph’s baptism, it seemed like a good day to share our news :)
My first trimester was very much the same as it was with Joseph – I never got sick, but had many days with really bad nausea, and of course the exhaustion. Oh my, the exhaustion. Both seemed to dissipate around week 11 and I’ve felt much better since. No crazy cravings yet, but I couldn’t stomach any type of meat during the first few months. That’s gone now, so I’ve definitely enjoyed my fair share of burgers and fries :)
I’ll be sure to keep you updated as things move along, but we are super excited and glad that everything is going well so far!
How wonderful. Hope the pregnancy is a easy one and no more morning sickness. Gosh 2 fur babies and a toddler, you are one brave lady. Loking forward to the updates.
Congratulations! The reveal is super cute. Best of luck that the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly.
Congratulations! This has been a busy week and I’ve been running behind on reading posts – love the banner you made for your little “politician” and I’m sure he’ll be very happy with his running mate! I’m sure Duke and Einstein will also like having another little one around.
Congrats! I love the baby announcement, that was very creative! October 4th is my birthday, and I am so excited to hear your blessing will be delivered on my special day! Again, congrats to you and your family, stay blessed!
Congratulations! I’m due October 8 with my first :)
Congrats! I was so excited when I saw this post. I just announced my pregnancy on my blog this week. We are due only 2 days apart and my next oldest is almost the same age as Joseph. I’m excited for you and hope you post pregnancy updates. :)
CONGRATULATIONS !!!
Congratulations!!! You must be so excited, and that announcement is PRECIOUS!
Oh my god congratulations! I’m so happy for you all ☺️

Congratulations! I am very happy for your family. Joseph seems like a very happy child so I bet he’ll be thrilled to have a baby sister or brother to help with and play with. We’re due with our baby girl on the 26th of this month, difference is its 11 years after our first and only but big brother wished for a sibling and he got his wish so no early retirement for us lol.

Congratulations to all of you! That’s wonderful news!
Wonderful news! May you have an uneventful pregnancy and a healthy baby to join your beautiful family in October!!
Congratulations! Children are such a blessing. And they will not necessarily be opposites as others may suggest. Individuals, yes, but not necessarily the opposite of #1. Don’t read too many articles about “How crazy life is with Baby #2,” just go with it and enjoy it. Seems like you do that already. Congrats again!
Great news. Another bundle of joy from heaven. Maybe a girl? Waiting for the moment. Happiness to you and your family
Congratulations!!! (And finally a “campaign” I’m excited about! ?)
Congratulations! Blessings for a healthy, smooth pregnancy!
Congratulations! That is such exciting news! Prayers for a healthy baby and pregnancy!

Congratulations Michelle!!! You’re going to have another boy!!! I know this because I got bad nausea with my son but not at all with my daughter. And everyone I’ve known since then has been the same! We’ll see if I am right in October! :)
CONGRATULATIONS! It took me a minute to process the very creative announcement poster…oved the “paid for by mom and dad”…but when I did, whoop, whoop! You certainly will hvae your hands full with two little ones under two as well as two very big furry “kids”. All good though…just how life should be…joyful ,exciting, busy and so rewarding. I have my fingers crossed for a mini BEB!
Congratulations! I’m betting those two will be best buddies.
Congratulations!!!
OMG this is too adorable! Congratulations and Blessings to you and your family!
Congratulations! Joseph is going to just love having a little brother or sister to play with :)

WOW! Congratulations! That’s exciting news :) Thanks for telling us!
HAPPY DANCE!!! :-)
I am so happy for your family. Children are really a joy and a blessing from the Lord. All the best!
Congratulations!! Joseph will make an awesome big brother!
Michelle, couldn’t be happier for you and your family. God bless. This is wonderful!
That’s great news- congrats! You’ll be very thankful that you’re having your kids close together; they’ll be best of friends!
I’m so happy for you.
Congratulations to you.
CONGRATULATIONS BEB!?? our first two were 20 months apart, boy n girl n were sooo good playing together! Still are close today with each other n their own families! What a wonderful blessing! Wishing you the best as your family grows!
Congratulations Michelle!!! So so happy for you and your family!! :)
Congratulations on your happy news. Joseph is going to make a great big brother.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Joseph is going to get the best gift ever of a sibling. I ditto the other comments on the age gap between babies. You. Are. Going. To. Have. It. Made. My two daughters are 17.5 months apart, and they had the same toys, bedtime, each other for playmates, etc…They remain close today in their teen years. Congrats again.
Congratulations, but get set for the new baby to be just the opposite of Joseph. I am not kidding I have seen it too many times. You have a child that is happy all of the time and just easy and the next one is like a whirlwind never still and into everything. Just be prepared.
Congratulations! :-) <3
This news brought an instant smile!! Congrats to you and your family. I bet Joseph will be the best big brother!!
How Wonderful!!! Joseph will be such a great big brother. There is nothing like children in the house. When we get together for family events and I look at our kids and grandkids my heart is almost close to bursting with love and pride. Your little one makes me miss our youngest grandson — he’ll be one next month and we haven’t seen him in over three months — way too long. Big hugs to you and Joseph!!
So happy for you !!! Congrats!!
Congratulations! I’m sure Joseph will be a great big brother. What an exciting time for you and your family.
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations to you all!!
Congratulations!! Such happy news!!
Congratulations! Your two will have about the same age gap as mine. Our youngest just hit 8 weeks. It is tiring but wonderful. Joseph is absolutely adorable and I’m sure his sibling will be too!
Also been meaning to comment fir a while just to say how much I continue to love the blog and your recipes. A few recipes are made regularly and my husband is obsessed with your jalapeno popper dip.
YAY GREAT NEWS !!!! So happy for you
Congratulations to you and your family!
So happy for you all!
