Pregnant!

Brandon and I are going to have a baby!

I’m 13 weeks along and the due date is April 14. I had a pretty rocky first trimester, which is why I didn’t want to say anything right away. I was on bed rest for a while and there was a lot of bleeding and cramping and worrying, but I’m (we’re!) doing much better now.

The upside of having to go in several times for emergency doctor visits and ultrasounds is that we got some very early pictures of our little blob – I mean baby!

Baby!
It really does just look like a little blob at 6 and 8 weeks.

And of course, Brandon tricked me a few weeks ago into taking a barefoot and pregnant in the kitchen photo. Oh, you should have seen his face as I figured out what he was doing! Too proud of himself on that one. ;)

Anyway, we’re thrilled to finally announce the news. We’re having a baby!

    Congratulations Nicole and Brandon! And also- I was totally on to you! Baby references have been cropping up on Making It Lovely for weeks, but I knew it wasn’t my place to say anything.

    When I first saw the nursery mood board on flickr I thought for sure it was a mommy-to-be announcement… guess I wasn’t too far off!

    CONGRATULATIONS! What awesome news! I can so relate to the bedrest/worry! I spent my entire last trimester on bedrest with my twins (*gulp* 16 years ago!) – no internet back then to keep me occupied! You will have so much fun, and I predict a very fun “Making it Lovely” baby room series! XO
