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!



Wow, are you guys shooting for a hockey team? lol Congratulations!
Congrats.. how wonderful.. Enjoy every minute…
Michelle, congratulations to you and your family! I just had to comment because I had my first baby just about 2 weeks after you had Dominic and now I’m pregnant with a due date of April 7th. Ha! Having babies 18 months apart isn’t as common these days so I’ve worried people will think we’re crazy or that this is an accidental pregnancy (it’s not!)…but mostly I’m just really excited and now I’m excited for you too! Congratulations again!
I am so excited for you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Glad your beautiful family is growing. You deserve only the best.
I don’t check in for a couple days and look what happens! Wow. Congratulations!!!!!!!
P.s. That little beating heart is such a beautiful sight. God bless.
Oh! Congratulations!! I’m so thrilled for you all!

Oh My Gosh, how did I miss this post until now?
I checked your site Monday morning and the Weekend Dish lost was still up so I never bothered to check in later.
This is wonderful news and so exciting. You are truly amazing…willing to take on three kids under 4 years of age…yikes!!
My guess is that you and your husband are a great team …very organized and have things well under control.
So, congratulations to the whole family and best wishes for an easy, stress free pregnancy.
