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…

    Congratulations to you both! I had a feeling that you either were or it would happen very soon. The same thing just happened with a friend back home and I just got the news this morning that she is also preggers too!

    Now they say things happen in 3’s, I wonder who else I know has a bun in the oven? lol.

    Can’t wait to see all the wonderful decorating/nursery ideas you’ll have in the coming months1

    Wow, Congrats. Enjoy reading your post and now I can see how you welcome Baby into your beautiful home. Ironically I am due 3 days before you are! So isn’t the 2nd trimester so much better than the 1st!

    Congrats, Sherry and John! Will you be finding out if it’s going to be a boy or a girl (and will you tell us??) or will it just be a surprise? So looking forward to the nursery for the littlest Youngster! Cheering for all four of you!!

    YAY! Love the announcement – Burger looks totally dashing in his Big Bro T :) And I actually have a few questions for ya…

    1. Are you planning on ‘leaving it all on the table’? Because, Sherry, poop happens :)
    2. What is scarier – a baby born with a full set of teeth or a pregnancy that causes excessive skin tags?
    3. If it’s a boy, could you please name him Peter? or Cedric? pretty please :)

    Seriously though, my dear friend – I am so happy that you are starting a new family. And you & John are gonna be the most amazing, fun & creative (and loving) parents imaginable. I can not wait till I get to meet the little one :)

    Miss you Miss Mommy!
    XO – Katie

    Yippie! You guys have a great opportunity to get lots and lots of advice here. Here is your first. Catch up on sleep now because those first three months can be hard! You will love being parents- It is so rewarding to watch your little babies change into loving, smart, sweet, snuggly people!

    So of the few random blogs that I really keep up with, you are now the 5th one to announce that you are pregnant. The great part about it? Me too!! With our second! But shh…we haven’t told everyone yet because I’m not due until June 18th (aka I’m only about 10 weeks). Can’t wait to hear more from you on the blog about your experience being pregnant.
