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…
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…

laura says
So did you actually know before you said on your blogiversary that a baby wasn’t out of the question for the next year? Sneaky, sneaky : ) Congrats to you both!
Ali says
I’m posting again, because I just realized what this means: A baby nursery! Can’t wait to watch you two decorate it. =)
Julianne Hendrickson says
awesome!!! congratulations to you both–which room will become the nursery??
Julie says
Congrats! Can’t wait to see your nursery!!! :)
lauren says
So exciting! I just emailed all my girlfriends to share the news with them. Haha…we’re all addicted to your blog. We feel like you guys are our best friends. Congrats! Can’t wait to see how you guys baby proof your house and what you guys do as a nursery.
Jackie says
Congratulations! That’s my birthday!
tracey r. says
Wow, congratulations!! That is so exciting. A new youngster. :)
Katie says
Congrats! I actually gasped out loud when reading this — I feel like you two are close friends from reading your blog so often. I’m so happy for you both, and can’t wait to see nursery renovations to come!
Meredith K A says
I almost missed it, I haven’t been reading blogs this week because I’ve been so busy at work! I’m glad you tweeted it!!
Congratulations, you guys. This is lovely. Two of my closest friends and my cousin each had babies about 3 months ago, and another friend of mine is due in April, and we will probably be starting to try around next May, so it really is baby-making time!!
I know you work extremely hard and diligently on this blog, but even so I hope it will be so great that you can be at home and don’t have to worry about maternity leave. I can’t wait to hear more about how you’re feeling, what you’ve been thinking about, how and when you found out you were expecting, what kind of research you’re doing and advice you’re getting and how you’re sorting through it all, what your belly looks like, whether you’re going to find out the gender or be surprised, what names you’re thinking about and why, what kinds of baby paraphernalia you’ll use (cloth diapers, perhaps? My cousin and friends love them!), and of course all the related tweaks and updates to the look and functionality of your home to accomodate new-parent-hood.
It’s so much fun to follow such a well-done blog about a couple in the same stage of life as we are. I tell my husband about stuff I’ve read on here so frequently, but he doesn’t even mind because it all makes for great conversation as we continue to settle into our new home. Congrats again!! So excited to hear more, on Friday and beyond.
Melissa says
AWESOME!! I have never been so excited to hear that news from people I have never even met! I am due in April 19th… so I can’t wait to get even more bursery decorating tips/ideas from you guys!!
Kinsey says
A huge congrats! What an exciting time – nothing is better. I can’t wait to see how you baby-proof your beautiful house. I too have open spaces and open storage and am running into a problem with my little guy really liking to get into all those spaces. Can’t wait to learn more from you guys!
L.Duncan says
You guys are so gosh darn CUTE! You and the Bowers, How exciting!
lauren says
SOOO exciting!! CONGRATS!!!
Teresa says
Congratulations to you both! Here’s hoping for happy and healthy pregnancy!
Iris says
AHHHHHHHH!!!! *insert happy dance* I am so happy for you guys. May the E-hug I am sending you reach you in good health!
YEAH!!! =)
Carly says
Congratulations!
How did you find out? Had a feeling or just late? Was John around when you took “the test”? If not, how did you tell him? Finding out the sex? Can’t wait to hear all about it.
CH says
Congratulations! I can’t wait to see the nursery you’ll create!
Renee says
Yay!!! Congratulations! That is going to be one cute little baby!
I’m actually due the same day too! I’m going to take that as a sign that my little baby will grow up and be a stylish decorator :)
Amanda V says
OH!!! Congratulations you two!!! That is so awesome!! Any names for your future addition? Oh this is so great!! I’ve been waiting for the day y’all announce this!
LauraC says
Congratulations John and Sherry! I was also one of your less-than-bright readers that thought for a second, another dog, because you were so adamant about waiting, but I guess it was just a case of “thou doest protest too much!” I am looking forward to Burger’s response – Mocha ignored Sophia almost her whole first year! I think she thought she’d go away or disappear if she ignored her! We’re also due here in the Carlson household – April 19! Congrats again (oh, it’s great that they will be close in age to at least one cousin!)
Melinda says
Congrats!!
Laura H. says
At first, I was like, YES! a puppy brother or sister for Burger… Then I realized it was a BABY! Even better!
Congrats to your family.
Ashley @ SouthMeetsSouth says
Congratulations, John and Sherry!!! I am so ecstatic!! Baby Petersik is so lucky to have you two as parents!
I am 7 months pregnant now and have a burning question for Sherry: how did you get so much accomplished through the first trimester?!? I feel unbelievable now but those first two months or so of pregnancy totally drained me! You are super woman!
Can’t wait to see what is in store for your young house!!!
Suzanne S says
That is fabulous news, you guys! A big, fat, congratulations to you!! Becoming parents changes everything, but only in the most fabulous way imaginable. :))
Caitlin @ That House On The Corner says
YAY! I had a feeling this was coming soon (especially with Katie Bower getting on the band wagon!), but I’m still so excited. I was scrolling through my friend’s status updates on Facebook and WHAM! There it was! Congrats, I can’t wait to see what you do!
Jennifer says
OMG!! So exciting!!! Congratulations!!!
I’m due June 23rd! So now I have even more reasons to follow the site!!
How did you keep it sercet for so long?!!
Jacquelin Hicks says
Congratulations! So happy for you both. Time for a baby room! I can only imagine how fab it will be!
Jen Z. says
OMG Congrats! That is such great news. I can’t believe you and the Bowers are both expecting at the same time. How cute. Can’t wait for the transformation of the nursery.
Divina K says
That’s wonderful news. CONGRATULATIONS!! Looking forward to all the DIY items you’ll be putting together for the nursery. My husband and I are in the process of fixing up our own – running a little behind as she’s due at the end of December.
nicki says
How awesome! You and the Bower Power together!!!!!!!
Tammi says
CONGRATULATIONS!!!! That’s so exciting!
Bev says
Congrats Sherry & John!! What wonderful news!!! So happy for you both!!! I know that this baby will be the best change in your house yet!!! Hope you’re feeling good!!
Katie says
YAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so so so excited! I’ve been reading you guys forever (it seems!)…
We are expecting our FIRST–on MAY 8th!! So you are right behind me, sister!
How cool :) Keep us updated! You and Katie Bower–woohoo!
Melissa says
Congrats Sherry and John! I’ve never commented before but after reading your blog for so long I feel like I know you and have to send my well wishes! Is it also strange that I felt this day was coming very soon, as in I thought just last night that I bet they are going to announce they are pregnant this week.
Its especially touching as my daughter was born on May 21,2008 so Sherry’s due date is very close and thus I know exactly where she is in her pregnancy (and what she might be feeling to boot). I hope for her sake though that she has not experienced the nausea I did all the way until week 16.
Well one book I always like to recommend to “friends” is the Girlfriends Guide to Pregnancy. A hilarious read and all very true.
Can wait to read all about your prepartions for the little bundle of joy!
Mrs. M says
That is wonderful news! Congrats!
Meggan says
OMG YAY! That is such amazing news! I can’t wait to see the little one and see what you do with the nursery. YAAAAAY!!!
Alexis says
What exciting news! Can’t wait to see the nursery ideas and hear all about the pregnancy. I’m due in January and look forward to sharing part of this wonderful journey with you guys!
Chelsea says
I almost missed it as well – been super-busy this week but I’m so glad you posted it on Facebook!! Congrats! I can’t wait to see all the nursery decorations!!
Dana says
Hooray!!!! That is such great news!! I guess it’s time for a DIY nursery project :)
Congrats to you both… and big brother Burger too!
Lauren says
Congratulations. I just had my first almost 4 months ago. It is the most difficult, yet most amazing thing that’ll ever happen to you. Burger will be ok. Just have your husband bring a baby blanket home from the hospital before you come home, so he gets familiar with the smell.
Carrie says
How wonderful!!! I’ve never been so excited for two people I’ve never met. :) Congrats you two!

Christa M says
Congratulations and Best Wishes to all of you! I have to ask…were you already pregnant when you answered the “When will you have kids” question in the video? I had a strong feeling back then that Sherry was already pregnant when the video was made and that you were holding back because it was too soon, which is totally understandable!!
I am so happy for you guys and look forward to reading and seeing about this new Chapter!
XOXOXO

Congratulations! That is so exciting! Seems like everyone has a bun in the oven! This is great news!
