Young House Love » Random » Oh Brother! (Or Sister?)

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…

    I have a 10 month old and have been baby proofing galore. Even though this is another year an a half down the road, I can’t help but think “What is going to happen to all those lovely white ceramic statues in your home?”

    Congratulations! We had our first a bit over a year ago now and the ride has been amazing. Loved your previous nursery ideas and have tucked them away in case we have another. Now count me as another who can’t wait to see how the room for the wee one turns out. More great ideas! :D

    Ahhh! I had a feeling ;) We did the t-shirt on our first baby Kiki as well, except she was a big sis ;) That’s how we told our families, along with giant pink & blue flower bouquets that said “what’ll be, pink or blue? Either way I can’t wait to meet you!” :) I’m so happy for you guys, can’t wait to see your nursery/names/prego pics! I was just showing your blog to a friend last night, and now you have two new dedicated readers here in HI! ;)

    Congrats!! That’s so exciting! I’m a first-time mommy of a 6-month-old (he’s a blogger, too… his URL is linked to my name). Parenthood has proven to be one of the craziest and best things that has ever happened to us. I know I don’t know you in real life, but from what you show of yourselves here, you just seem so fun, creative, and energetic- you’re going to be the coolest parents ever!

    Congratulation to you both!!! What an exiting news. How’s Sherry been feeling? any morning sickness?

    I wish you a wonderful time ahead and a lot of love for burger.

    i’ve heard that it is helpful for pet to get used to baby things to let them smell the baby clothes you will be buying, the baby linens, etc…and then when the baby arrives, do it all over again with the clothes s/he has been wearing.
