Exciting News ....

We are having a baby !!!! Yes, you read that right, Baby S is due in June :) I have been wanting to blog about it for over 2 months now, but knew I should wait till we were out of the 1st trimester. So this is why I was M.I.A for a couple of months !

The Hubby and I are so excited about this new adventure and a little scared as our lives are about to change drastically. I can't wait to be a mommy. I am also so glad the Hubby gets a new experience at being a dad. Being a divorced dad is a very hard "job" and requires lots of balance, I look forward to him having somewhat of a "normal" experience. And he is going to be the best :)

I have been feeling great, which I am so thankful for. When we first started talking about having kids, my biggest fear was morning sickness. I am very fortunate to have not experienced any sickness at all.

Here are some pictures of how we told our parents & how we announced it on Facebook & Instagram. I am going to try and blog weekly updates of my pregnancy, I am a little behind, but will catch up soon!

I bought this on Etsy & wrapped it up for my mom to open ... her & my dad were speechless! She has been talking about being a Grandma for the longest time. 

My in-laws are huge Cleveland Indians fans, I found this on Etsy & it was perfect!

Our sweet little nugget @ 8 weeks :) so in love already

I posted this picture on my Facebook & Instagram accounts this past weekend! I wanted to make sure to tell all our closest friends in person, so we waited a little to go "public" with our news. It's such a great feeling being about to tell everyone our good news !

Yikes, can't believe it's almost been 2 months since my last post! Life definitely got crazy with lots of things going on. The Holiday Season is officially here, so I wanted to make sure to get back into the swing of blogging!  I do, however, have lots of fun things to share with you in the next couple of weeks!

Here are some pics of the last 2 months :)
