Party of Five, Here We Come!
We are so thrilled to share that our little family is growing and we’re expecting another little bundle of joy!!
Little BEB baby #3 is due on April 8th, but will likely come before that, since it will be a scheduled c-section.

My husband typed up this super fun “pregnancy alert” and texted it to our family at the same time when everyone was at our house to make the announcement (have I mentioned that he has all of the creative brains in our relationship?)…

Save This Recipe
I was 15 weeks along yesterday, and there’s definitely a bump starting to show! So far, the pregnancy has gone very well. My first trimester was very much the same as it was with both Joseph and Dominic – some nausea, but I never actually got sick, so I consider myself lucky. I suffered from mind-numbing exhaustion through about 10 days ago, and then I felt like a fog had lifted, finally! I haven’t had any crazy cravings, but during the entire first trimester really all I wanted were salty savory things, especially a Wendy’s junior bacon cheeseburger with fries!
We are absolutely thrilled to be giving Joseph and Dominic another sibling! Dominic obviously has no idea what’s going on, and Joseph goes back and forth between an excited, “oh little baby coming!” to a flat out “NO” when we talk to him about it.
I had an ultrasound around the 8 week mark, and apparently since I was pregnant with Dominic they stopped printing out ultrasound pictures to hand you at the end, instead they email them to you; the tech also included a little video she captured of the heart beating. It never ceases to amaze me and leave me in total awe when I think about what a miracle the whole process is to grow a baby, and seeing that little heart beat took my breath away ♥
I’ll be sure to provide updates along the way; thank you all for sharing in these wonderful journeys of life with me!



Congrats! That little heartbeat…so amazing! I am glad to hear you’re feeling pretty well, all things considered, i.e. running a blog and chasing after 2 little guys already! You’re amazing!!!
Thanks so much Averie, you’re too sweet, xo
Congratulations! That is the best baby announcement I have ever seen!!
Haha thank you Liz! My husband is super creative :)
Congratulations! This is such exciting news! I am so happy for you! We just had a baby (our 2nd) and it’s funny you mention the Wendy’s Jr. Bacon Cheeseburger, that was one of my cravings when I was pregnant with my daughter and my son :)
Thank you Sara, and congratulations to you! Just can’t beat that Jr bacon cheeseburger and fries, it’s the only thing I’ve REALLY wanted, ha!
Congratulations! Hope things continue to go well for you.
Thank you Linda!
Congratulations!! What wonderful news. Every baby is a miracle — I’m so excited for you and your family. Are you going to find what whether it’s a girl or boy or do you want to be surprised? Big hugs — but not too hard.
Thank you Marisa! We actually already found out because I had early prenatal DNA testing done, which screens for chromosome abnormalities since I’m “advanced maternal age” (37, ha!). We’re telling our families on Friday! :)
I had my two boys less than a year apart. It will be crazy for the first few years but mine are 3 and 4 now and I just love having two kids so close in age. Brotherly (or maybe brotherly/sisterly) love is a very real thing! And Joseph will be such a Big Helper, too. Congratulations!!
Thank you Jill! We’re super excited to have them so close in age, even though it will probably be crazy for awhile, ha! And yes, Joseph LOVES being a helper already with Dominic, so I’m sure it will magnify with another little one!
WoOoOow– CONGRATULATIONS, Michelle and family! Thanks for sharing your adventure with us, and prayers for a safe and smooth pregnancy!
Thank you so much Kathy!

CONGRATS! I’m just two weeks ahead of you in pregnancy with baby #4. I firmly believe the greatest gift you can give your kids is more siblings. I’m from a big family and had such a happy childhood! Congrats to you guys and I hope the rest of the pregnancy goes smoothly for you!
Ahhhh congratulations to YOU then! And I 100% agree with you about giving your children siblings; it’s been so unbelievable to watch Joseph and Dominic grow together and become friends. Wishing you a healthy pregnancy and delivery as well!
Congratulations! What an awesome time for you! Exhausting, but awesome! Can’t wait to “meet” new baby and hear all about how the big brothers adapt.
Thank you Diane! :)

CONGRATULATIONS! God Bless! Wishing you love and joy, peace and wisdom, beauty and happiness.

Congratulations!! It’s hard to imagine that I’ve been following your blog before you had Joseph. Three babies later and I still love your blog and enjoy watching your family grow. Congrats again!
Aw thank you Michelle! It seems like an entire lifetime ago!

Hi Michelle, congratulations to you, your husband , Joseph, and Dominic. Thank you for sharing the good news. Wishing the best for you and baby #3! 💕
Thank you so much Elaine!
Congrats!! and wow, that video of the little bean’s heartbeat is amazing!! My sister’s expecting as well and she was able to send us the recording of the heartbeat from her first US and then a little video of the baby kicking her from her 20 week appt. Amazing what technology can show us these days. Excellent pregnancy alert too! :)
Thank you Nicole, and I agree – it’s amazing what they can capture! And it seems to have advanced with each pregnancy!
Congratulations!
Thanks so much!
Congratulations!!! So happy for your growing family!
Thank you Desiree!
