Well the day has finally come… we can officially share with the world that we have been working on our greatest DIY project to date… a BABY!
There have been many times that we have made announcements and readers thought it was a baby, but this time it really is true. I’m officially in my second trimester and we feel confident and safe enough to announce it to the world. We have had quite a few challenges over the past few months and continue to have a few ahead, so that’s why we weren’t too quick to announce.
I can not stress enough how much of a big help Jon has been over the past few months. The tables have turned. I use to make him breakfast every morning–now he makes me a smoothie every morning and its ready before I get out of bed! He has also done about 90% of the kitchen revamp project that will debut next month. A big thanks to his friend, John, for coming over and helping. There are so many things in the DIY world that do not agree with a pregnant woman, so we have been super cautious and Jon has picked up my slack! Which I think he is still trying to wrap his head around how little I can do. Oh spray paint… how I miss thee! lol.
I’ve also had little to no energy to do anything other than sleep over the past few months. I’ve tried my very best to maintain both blogs without it looking suspicious. I’ve also slacked on doing and posting about Halloween projects this year. My favorite time of year and I just don’t have any energy. Over the next few weeks I promise to share a few fun and easy Halloween projects.
Oh, and for those who might be wondering… we are due March 26! We also will find out the gender at the end of October and plan to have a gender reveal party. Don’t worry–we will announce after our party on Sew Woodsy what we are having (although odds are–we are having a boy because that is all Jon’s family produces)! Either way–all we want is a healthy baby.
For more information on what foods I’ve been craving head on over to my food blog Katie’s Cucina to read more.
Stay tuned for lots of Baby Woodsy projects…

Thanks Gail! It was so hard hiding how sick and tired I was at Haven! 🙂 Quite a few of us will be toting babies around with us next year.

So sweet 🙂 I can’t wait to see nursery projects begin! I’m sure you two have BIG plans!!! 🙂

Thanks Christine! Yes–we have a few plans so far. Waiting until we find out the sex of the baby to really start digging in (oh and finishing our kitchen renovation)!

Congrats! I love your blog and wish you all the best with your pregnancy. I can relate to all the tiredness! I’m due in December and it’s exhausting 🙂
Katie says
Thanks Kim! I’m told the tiredness only gets worse. I’m pretty sure its God’s way of getting us prepared for lots of sleepless nights.

Susi says
Congrats to both of you. Hopefully you’ll feel a bit better over the second trimester and get some energy back. Just take it easy and listen to your body – it’s so worth it!!! 🙂 It seems every woman around me is due with a baby in March – I know three at the top of my head – my sister is one of them – she’s due the 29th!
Katie says
Thanks Susi! I have definitely tried taking it easier and really tried to listen to my body. We know about 8+ friends who are due in March–4 of which are bloggers!
