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

| By John Petersik | November 18, 2009 | 905 Comments

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…

    Oh my goodness. I’m pretty sure EVERY blogger I read is having a baby, or just had a baby. And, I had a feeling this announcement would come from you two any day now.
    Are you going to find out if it’s a boy or a girl? How are you planning to balance a full-time blog and a full-time baby? When/how did you tell John, your parents, etc.? Will you be raising a ‘green’ baby (no, not an alien…) — cloth diapers, making your own baby food, etc.?

    Also… I can’t wait for the name and nursery design. And you better show us a baby bump photo ASAP. :)

    Congrats you guys!! And Burger, too!

    Congratulations! Both my boys are May babies – it’s a great time to deliver…your not huge and awkward during the icy months, and your not huge and miserable during the humid summer! Oops…did I spill the beans? You’re going to be huge at some point? Sorry if this was news! ;-)

    Seriously…enjoy this time! You get to take care of baby & still go wherever you want without a carseat! And decorate into the wee hours without changing diapers!

    Congrats again!

    Here’s my question: how much did Katie Bower freak out when you told HER? Considering her funny anecdote about how much you yelled when she told you?

    Congratulations! Babies are the best excuse to decorate ever! Were you trying to make sure that Katie’s (Bower Power) baby has a design friendly playmate, LOL? I love both your blogs, and it’s nice to know there are more stylish tots on the way.
