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…

    Oh that is so exciting! Congratulations! My husband and I are hoping to get pregnant soon, so I really can’t wait to see all your baby diy’s. I know some people take belly pictures at least once a month; do you think you’ll be posting anything like that? Also, curious about the names you two might be considering. Yea for you! :)

    YAY!! Hope you haven’t had any of the super-obnoxious all-day-long sickness I had in the first trimester. The time will fly by SO quickly. I feel like it was just yesterday that I took the test, but now we only have 8 weeks until our first little one arrives in January!

    Best of luck to you both and wishing you a drama-free pregnancy.

    Congrats you guys! What an exciting time! I’m guessing by the EDD that you probably knew right around the time of those big question and answer sessions…did it kill you guys not to spill?

    My number one recommendation is the book Baby Bargains–it’s been SUCH a help through all the nursery process!

    Ok, so this might be a little weird, but when I put my hair up in a ponytail this morning, I thought I had been putting it up a lot lately. But then I remembered, “Sherry is a ponytail girl and rocks it, so I won’t feel so bad,” and that’s when I realized I hadn’t seen any pics of you in a while… Sneaky sneaky!

    I am so happy for you guys and excited to see the little one. I’m a May baby too, so I know you’ll have a sweet and loyal, albeit stubborn, child ;) Congratulations!!

    Congratulations! You two are going to have so much fun preparing for the baby. Although I’d have to say that he best part of pregnancy is falling more and more in love with one another. Something about creating a new life together and thinking of the other as a mom or dad is so overwhelmingly beautiful.
