We’re going to have another baby!
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.
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.

Carol
August 9, 2010 at 2:20 pmBig virtual hugs to you! Hope the illin’ gets better. My little boys are 22 months apart and are 3 and 2 right now. They fight like little dogs sometimes but they are each other’s best little bud and I wouldn’t have done it any other way. :)

August 9, 2010 at 2:23 pmcongrats on #2!
jolly ranchers candy helped me immensely with the nausea. i was so sick my entire pregnancy with #2. i kept them everywhere, in my pocket, car, purse, next to my bed.

August 9, 2010 at 2:24 pmCongrats! I think the pregnancies get progressively harder the more children you have to chase around. But watching the kiddos play together is worth it :).

Beth-Anne Jones
August 9, 2010 at 2:29 pmCongratulations!!!! You look beautiful and your matching dresses are to die for! I had two boys in 15 months so I know you will be busy but it’s great when they are a little bit older and play together. I am expecting my third (in 4 years – I think we need to whoa this time line) any day now. Wishing you all the best.

August 9, 2010 at 2:32 pmCongratulations! I think the coordinated dresses are too cute.

Christine
August 9, 2010 at 2:49 pmHUGE congratulations to you and your family!! I always loved being close in age to my siblings (ok, maybe not teenage years) they’ll always have a little buddy to play with.
I love your dresses, you look amazing!

I’m excited to see what you’ll do for Eleanor’s new room and of course how you’ll transform the nursery if it’s a boy!
Corey

August 9, 2010 at 3:09 pmC-O-N-G-R-A-T-U-L-A-T-I-O-N-S!!! WOO HOO for little babies!
My grandma’s first two were 16 months apart & she keeps telling me it was such a blessing that they were so close! My grandpa was off at the war & the two of them entertained each other & helped her get along. Also, I hear practically everything is easier with two.
You look absolutely FABULOUS in your dress. Love it.
coral
August 9, 2010 at 3:20 pmCongratulations – such wonderful news!
I’m getting ready for my first, coming in about six weeks. I’m so slow in trying to get everything ready in time, I can’t believe you were painting your porch around this time!
Tammy
August 9, 2010 at 3:21 pmAAhhh!! That’s so great! Congrats!
Thanks for including your readers in your journey. I feel some kinship with you. Henry (our first) was born shortly after Eleanor, and we will have our second right before you have yours. (I’m at 18 weeks right now.)
jana@opalnevershouts
August 9, 2010 at 3:21 pmLovely dresses! Congrats, they will always have a friend to play with.

Emily Hilleke
August 9, 2010 at 3:32 pmGreat news! Eleanor and her little buddy will be the best of friends!
Amanda
August 9, 2010 at 3:36 pmI had a feeling this is what you were going to be announcing. Congrats and you (and Eleanor) look adorable as ever! Love your Flickr post of the red bathing suits too- so fun.
Kate
August 9, 2010 at 3:40 pmCongratulations! We’re expecting our second, too. I’m due Feb. 8, so it’ll be fun to “know” someone else who’s on the same schedule. Isn’t it crazy how different one pregnancy can be from the next? This time is totally different from my first.

Sally S.
August 9, 2010 at 4:32 pmI’ve been a reader for about a year now and just have to say congratulations on the new addition!!
I’m currently pregnant with our third and due in a month. With our daughter at 19 months, we get comments all the time from strangers about how close together they are and how full my hands are going to be…
Just remember, they’ll be full of blessings!
Rachael B.
August 9, 2010 at 4:37 pmCongratulations! We just found out *surprise!* that my thyroid wasn’t acting up, I was actually pregnant! And very tired. I’m due Feb. 16th. Planets were aligned that week….
Jenna
August 9, 2010 at 4:38 pmCongrats!!! My two oldest were 23 months apart…Not quite as close as your two. And, yes, it’s hard, but it’s very fun and rewarding too! We are due with baby #3 (a girl!) in October, and she and the middle guy will be 28 months apart. I know we’ll have our hands full, but kiddos are so fun and silly and yummy and absolutely adorable! All the best to you and your growing family!

K
August 9, 2010 at 4:54 pmCONGRATULATIONS to your family! I love your blog and can’t wait to see how you handle the bedroom situation of two little ones in a multi-story smallish bungalow. I have a 2 year old daughter and I’m due with my second (a boy!) in December. We live in a 1,300 sq foot bungalow, and are currently debating how we’re going to switch rooms around to make it work (room sharing? keep them separate? upstairs? downstairs? it’s a puzzle!).
Best wishes for a happy and uneventful pregnancy! :)
Kathy
August 9, 2010 at 5:03 pmCongratulations! You did a good job of keeping it a surprise! Darling dresses.

marybeth
August 9, 2010 at 5:18 pmCongratulations! I am so happy for you! My baby boy is only 8 weeks old, and I am already feeling wistful about being pregnant again…I’m blaming it on crazy hormones right now. I can’t wait to see what the new nursery and Eleanor’s big girl bedroom look like in the future!
Rachael
August 9, 2010 at 5:19 pmCongratulations!
My sister and I are 22 months apart and I wouldn’t trade it for the world! I still get to be her big sister and set the pace but now that we’re older we get to go through some of the biggest life changes together (dating, marriage, children etc.) You’re giving Eleanor a great gift in a sibling!
Chanda
August 9, 2010 at 5:21 pmOh how exciting! My two are 20 months apart and it is a challenge but they are so close. They could not have more different personalities but really prefer to do everything together. I want a third but hate to do it now since they would be 6 and 8 years older.
P.S. You both look great in that yellow!
Jessie
August 9, 2010 at 5:29 pmCongratulations!! (And I love the mother/daughter matching dresses. You guys look too cute for words!)

Ally
August 9, 2010 at 6:06 pmCongratulations! I hope that everything goes well. It is exhausting chasing a baby with one on the way but yes it can be done. Just take some time to put your feet up every day and you’ll do just fine. :)
Danielle
August 9, 2010 at 6:19 pmCongratulations!!! My brother and I are 15 months apart, and we’re incredibly close – more like Twins than regular siblings. I think it’s great to have kids so close in age. :D
Margo
August 9, 2010 at 6:19 pmCongratulations and best wishes!!!
Kris {The Freestyle Mom}
August 9, 2010 at 6:26 pmCongrats! My daughter and son are also just under 2 years apart. It’s worked wonderfully! She was too young when he was born to be jealous and instead was just infatuated with a living baby doll. Now (at 3.5 and almost 2) they play together better than I could have expected.
We’re waiting another year or so for baby 3, but when we are ready, I’d love for my third and fourth to be just as close as my first two. I like the instant friendship it’s created.
maja
August 9, 2010 at 6:30 pmyou look beautiful. and happy. congratulations again.
Kris Mays
August 9, 2010 at 6:33 pmCongratulations! I had two under two and it is a lot of work but I wouldn’t have had it any other way. They are not even 17 months apart.
Now I have five under 12 and that is a lot of fun, too!
Khali
August 9, 2010 at 6:43 pmCongratulations! I had two under two (16 months apart) and it really wasn’t as challenging as I imagined. They are now fabulous friends. All the best of luck. Khali x

August 9, 2010 at 7:36 pmOk, I’m a total blog stalker, but just wanted to pop out of the woodwork over here and say congratulations! I am so happy for you! My sister and I are only 14 months apart, so I know a bit about siblings-close-in-age, and it’s wonderful to have a friend the same age! I am sure Eleanor will love her/him!

August 9, 2010 at 8:21 pmCongratulations! I had a baby girl one week after Eleanor was born, so I have been watching her grow on your beautiful blog along with my little one…I give you so much respect for being pregnant and raising Eleanor at the same time!!! Best of luck to you and your family, yay!
CJ
August 9, 2010 at 8:33 pmI have two boys 18 months apart. They are now 4 and 5.5 and are finally good friends. It can be pretty hard in those early few months, but worth it in the end I think. As mums I believe we just adapt to whatever our circumstances. Enjoy and congrats!
jo
August 9, 2010 at 8:35 pmBest of luck!! The children are going to be the best of friends. My sister and I. She was born in February and I was born in December of the same year, as you can imagine my mom had her hands full.

Lori Danelle
August 9, 2010 at 8:42 pmCongrats!!
Our first was a surprise & then 9 months later I was shocked to find that I was a little over 4 weeks along with our second!! The first couple of years are a bit difficult, but now that our youngest is about to turn 2, things are getting REALLY easy. In the end, I couldn’t be happier having our two little 17 months apart. :)
AND, LOVE LOVE LOVE your dress!

nic
August 9, 2010 at 10:40 pmI just wanted to say congrats, lady! I wasn’t going to because it says you already have 300 comments or so that already say that, but then I thought, you know what? No. I want to say it too! Jaded as I am about kids and the like, I’m happy for you and your family.
Melissa
August 9, 2010 at 10:41 pmI think I already said so, but in case I hadn’t, Congrats!
I think it’ll be wonderful having two so close in age! Maybe not for the first few years, but when they get older… I’m glad I know my siblings as well as I do, and it’s because we’re so close in age!

August 12, 2010 at 12:46 pmI would be thrilled either way. Two little girls: so sweet! One of each: how fun! :)
Stephanie Partridge
August 10, 2010 at 12:26 amCongratulations 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!
Making it Lovely
August 12, 2010 at 12:46 pmThanks.
The dress is by Down East Basics, and I got it from Fred Flare.
