Another Baby

We’re going to have another baby!

Eleanor and Me

Also, I think our matching mother/daughter dresses are funny. ;)

This pregnancy has been less worrisome than the first, but I have been exhausted (and nauseous). I’m looking forward to getting a little energy back and feeling better as I head into the second trimester.

Eleanor and Me

I’m due February 12 and Eleanor won’t turn two until April 29, so we’ll have two under two for a while. Sounds… challenging! But it also sounds fun.

  • that is so cute! I have two boys that are 11 months apart to the date. They are currently 6 and 17 months (my oldest was born on April 29th 2009!!! – and the youngest on March 29th 2010), I drag myself around, that is how tired I am… but it gets better, I hope. Anyway, good luck and congrats!

  • CONGRATS, NICOLE!!! xoxo

  • Congrats. I just found out that we are expecting baby #2 on April 29th, 2011. We currently have an 11 month old little girl and our two will be 19 months apart. So I’ll be joining the group of two under two. Congrats again.

    Sorry I’m kind late to the game here, but just read this and was so surprised and delighted for you — Congratulations!! Eleanor is going to be a big sister — how exciting!

  • Melissa

    Many congratulations and hope you will be feeling better soon! I’m due the end of February myself with my third, I just had twins in November and I wonder everyday how I’ll pull it off, but somehow we all do:) Eleanor will be a wonderful big sister and they will be great friends!

  • Victoria

    congratulations! I’m a Feb baby (the 19th) myself and it’s a great month. He or she’d be an aquarius–they’re destined for greatness!

  • Wow – congrats! You and Eleanor look fantastic. I’m pregnant too and due Feb 15th! This is my first though, so I basically have no idea what I’m doing. I can’t wait to follow along with you online and hear how the baby renovations are going. My fiance and I are looking for a house so we’ll be doing house projects soon too!

  • Rebecca

    I had had two under two and loved it! Now they are 7 & 6 and usually great friends. It’s lovely when their other friends can’t play that they can play with eachother. Congrats!

  • kelly

  • Yay! How fun.

  • Congratulations!!! Oh, I read your last “making room for baby” and I realize that I haven´t read your blog before the 16th August… I hope all come on wheels and your family enjoy this second gift with a lot of health!!!
    Best wishes from Spain!

    Congratulations! You look beautiful!

  • how wonderful! congratulations! you both look darling in yellow :)

  • Congratulations! I too just found out I’m pregnant with my second – my daughter will 1 1/2 when the baby is born, so we’ll also have two under two. Though we don’t know each other, it’s nice to know of someone else going through the same thing.

    Take care!

  • Hmmm, I wondered why there were no photos of you after telling us you had shed all the baby weight. Now I know.

    CONGRATS!!!

  • Ok, I am really behind on my reader and just saw this news. Many many many congratulations to you, Brandon and Eleanor! She will be a fantastic big sister. Will the babes be sharing a room? Looking forward to seeing Eleanor’s big girl space.

  • That’s wonderful news – congratulations!! I followed your pregnancy with Eleanor closely as my little Grace was born not long after. How nice that Eleanor will have a sibling close in age.

  • Kathryn S

    Congratulations!

    Congratulations! You look great. I’m due with #2 in a few weeks, so we’ll also be juggling 2 under 2 for a bit. Best wishes for your pregnancy! :)

  • Congrats to you and your lovely and growing family. :)

  • Oh my gosh, congratulations!! How exciting!

    P.S. Love the matching yellow! Too cute :)

  • Noelle

    I’m so excited! you are due a week and a half before me!!!!! It’ll be fun to read about your experiences, hopefully you’ll have some clothes recommendations! I have no idea what to do :) haha.

  • Kristina

    I’m two months into having two girls seventeen months apart. During my entire second pregnancy everyone told me how hard it was going to be. Maybe it’s because I exspected the worst based on those comments or maybe because my first was born 8 weeks early (which was extremely difficult compared to a full term baby)….in all honesty it’s been amazing! Seeing my two girls together is heaven on earth.

  • Love the yellow dresses!!!! Congrats! I didn’t see this one coming! lol I am almost 29 years old and I don’t even have one baby yet!!! ; ) That is very exciting!!!

  • Claire M

    Congratulations – what wonderful news! I am due with my first on 12 February too – May sure was good to us :)

  • Oh wow, look what you’ve been hiding from us ;)
    What a fabulous belly ^_^

    Congrats!

  • Monique

    Congrats! That’ll be a challenge, but a lot of fun.

    (Down East Basics – This plus the Shabby Apple promos really puts SLC on the fashion map, something I never before would have supposed)

  • Audra

    Congrats! Two under two is challenging — our girls are a year and two weeks apart, so I speak from experience! ;-)

  • How wonderful!! Congratulations! You both look beautiful.

  • haley

    Congrats! I love your dress.

  • yeah, contratulations!!! you two look so cute!

  • Sandi

    I did it too. Mine are 20 months apart. It was hard in the early days, but they’re really good friends now. Use any family you can get your hands on to help in the early days. It’s fun and so worth it! Enjoy.

  • so exciting! mine are 23 months apart- the first four months were HARD. but now that the youngest is 9 months and (kind of) sleeping, things get better and better each day. congrats!

  • Kristín

    Congratulations! You two look lovely :)

    I’m due with my first January 30th. I actually thought you might be pregnant since there’s been a lot of baby stuff on here recently (cribs and nurseries) that I’ve really enjoyed!

    Congratulations again!

  • congrats! you are braver than me…my only and your first are days apart. how exciting!!!

  • UAU! What a surprise! Congratulations!!

  • Amy N

    Congratulations!!

  • Congratulations! You look radiant; love the matching dresses! My daughter and I had matching dresses when I was pregnant with my son. Come to think of it my daughter’s doll also had a matching dress LOL.

    I actually wondered if something was up. There were little clues amongst all your posts whether you realized it or not!

    Congrats again!

  • how exciting! you look lovely and the matching dresses are adorable! good luck with #2 – and as someone who came out the gate with 2 under 2 (twins) it can be done :)

  • congrats! you look beautiful. love the yellow.

  • So excited for you!

    Also, you look fantastic in that dress. :)

  • Fiona

    Wow, congratulations! Very cute dresses on the two of you.

  • Congratulations! You are glowing in your fun matching dresses! Best of luck with the pregnancy!

  • Hooray! & Congrats – you look fabulous by the way. Sorry to say I won;t be joining you on this journey (Elanor & Josh are just a few days a part) but I did have 2 under 2 for a while and I just wanted to tell you how wonderful it was! Really just imagine doubling all the awesomeness you feel with Elanor. And they will be so close in age they won’t remember a time without each other. My guys are 14 months apart an are inseparable. Best of Luck!

  • Congratulation!!! Lovely family.

  • What a wonderful news! Barbie is 15 months as well (she is May 9th) an dI know you will be busy! I am SOOOO happy for you!

  • Congratulations to you! Two babies really is a wonderful experience. My little girls are 14 months apart, and while the second was a complete surprise, now I am SO glad that we had them so close together. It’s good for Madeleine (currently 22 months) to have a playmate, and Ellie (8 months) is absolutely in love with and amazed by her older sister. Just wait until you hear both your kids giggling together, your heart will melt! Enjoy every minute of it!

  • you look TOTALLY ADORABLE!!!!! enormous congratulations. you seem like the loveliest mother. xoxo

  • oh my goodness, congratulations! the yellow looks smashing paired with the greens of the garfield park conservatory. i was just there a few weeks ago!

  • Erin T.

    Congratulations!!

  • So exciting! Can’t wait to hear more about it in the future!

  • Congratulations! You will have your hands full but it will be worth it!

  • Congrats! My daughter Penelope was born the same day as Eleanor and I too am expecting another in February also….but this is my 3rd! I wonder if we will have babies that share this birthday too! I can’t wait to find out.

    Congrats!

  • how lovely! congratulations :o)

  • Elizabeth

    Congratulations!! : ) I am sure Eleanor is going to be a great “big” sister.

    Off subject BUT is that a maternity dress? If not, where is it from?

    • A

      Nope, a regular dress (it won’t fit for much longer)! It’s by Down East Basics, and I got it at Fred Flare.

  • how wonderful!!! many, many congrats to your whole family!

  • What wonderful news – congrats!

  • Maria

    Congratulations on your growing family! My sons are just 14 months apart (now in their 20’s…seems like yesterday they were babies). They were so close they often felt like twins and after a couple years people would often ask if they were (the younger was tall and caught up to his brother quickly). It was great for them to always have a playmate so close in age. And yet they grew into two very different individuals each with very different interests and friends. It always amazes me.

  • Congrats! That is so exciting!

  • Congratulations!

    I cannot wait to see little baby #2’s monthly photos!

  • Congratulations! Your matching dresses are adorable!

  • Melissa

    you are such an inspiration! congratulations and thank you for all you do.

  • Ruthie

    Congrats! You look great. (Your hair is brown again? I like it!!). Yay for babies. :)

  • We’re in the same boat! I’m due Feb 15 and my daughter doesn’t turn 2 until July 17! It was totally planned however it’s gonna be crazy!

  • Aww congratulations!!! I’m so happy for you and your family. I’m sure the new baby and older sis’ will be very close and worth the “2 under 2”.
    :)
    Best

  • Congratulations! I had mine 22 months apart, wasn’t planned, but worked out nicely. They always had each other. They are 27 & 29 now, my how the time does fly by! Your dresses are too cute!

    Holly

  • Congratulations!

    Mine are 19months apart. It is hard work but worth it of course. They’ll always have a best friend. :)

    Rest up though!

  • Congratulations! I love your matching dresses :-)

  • CONGRATS!!!
    That is so awesome for little Eleanor. She will have a best friend forever.
    My two little girls are 19 months apart. The eldest never went through any jealousy because she was too young to understand. Little sister adores her big sister.. her face lights up when she sees her.
    I won’t deny it is hard, but it is SO WORTH IT.

    You two look great in yellow! x

  • Fiona

    Congratulations x

  • Congratulations! You look in a wonderful shape!
    Love the yellow dresses ;-)

  • Anouk

    Such wonderful news! I hope you will soon be feeling better.
    Dont hesistate to keep us updated on the baby-to-be and the nursery!
    You absolutely glow in that dress.

  • Congrats! And I love the matching dresses :)

  • Congratulations to you and Brandon!

  • Congratulations and your dress is beautiful. Can I ask where you got it? My two boys are 19 months apart. I’ll be honest in saying the first year was hell with a lot of tears, but now it’s really great. Once you get through the first 6-8 months after the baby is born you can get through ANYTHING!

  • Katie

    CONGRATS!!! I have been following your blog since Eleanor was born. Time has gone by so fast! I’m excited for you. Are you hoping for a boy or girl, or are you just going with the flow?

  • Congratulations! We are due on the same day…..I just announced my pregnancy on my blog to!

  • Funny, we don’t even know each other but I am so ridiculously happy for you. ♥ ♥ ♥ !!!
