Oh Brother! (Or Sister?)

We’re excited to announce that the Petersik family is currently under construction. Our new addition is expected on May 19th. We’re thrilled, even though a certain someone won’t be the baby anymore…

BurgerBigBrother

Yup, Sherry’s got a proverbial bun in her proverbial oven. And we couldn’t be more elated to share the news with you guys! More details to follow on Friday (so ask any and all q’s and we’ll answer as many as we can at the end of the week).

Until then it’s back to before & afters and DIY ideas- we’re nothing if not home obsessed…

    Congratulations. Just when you thought the house was done its time to renovate a babies room. The lengths you go to justify a project. *grin*

    CONGRATS!!! I’m due June 1 with our 2nd. So I will love to follow your journey…and maybe get some pointers on a new nursery design! Are you finding out what you are having?? Burger will do just fine…just keep giving him tons of love :) we have 3 fur babies, though now they are being climbed all over by our daughter, I think they secretly love it…or love when she goes to bed and they have us back full time! :)

    And to warm you up for the unsolicited advice everyone’s going to be heaping on you, here’s mine: Take ALL advice with a grain of salt. ;) No two pregnancies or babies are alike.

    Congrats! I was just reading on Bower Power about their pregnancy (I’m a little behind) and thinking, man it should would be fun for them to do that at the same time! Well I guess you already are! What exciting news :) (I’m worried you two are going to start a trend around the blogshpere, I wonder if it’s catching?)

    How exciting! Congratulations!! I’m sure this has already been asked, but are you planning to find out the sex, or will you wait until he or she is born? And if you do find out, will you tell us!?
