Pink or Blue…

Thanks For Sharing!

Baby Announcement at Design, Dining + Diapers

Yup! It’s true, Miss E will be a big sister this fall!

We’ve been keeping this little secret for so long and I am so excited to finally be able to share the news with all of you!

Here are a few fun details:

My Official due date is September 13, 2013.

Miss E and the new baby will be EXACTLY 2 1/2 years a part to the day (that’s if I delivery on my due date).

I am currently 13 weeks and 4 days.

This pregnancy has been a complete 180 from my first. It amazes me how different two pregnancies can be! I feel great.

We will be keeping this baby’s gender and name a surprise! We chose not to find out with Miss E and it was such a cool experience so we decided to keep it a surprise again.

This also means that our Home Goals for this year will be changing. I will now be designing a new ‘big girl’ room for Miss E and the new baby will move right into the gender neutral nursery. I can’t wait to get started!

Other than my growing belly, nothing else should be changing around here! You’ll still be seeing the same amount from me until the baby arrives in September :)

Thanks for sharing this special announcement with us and being the best readers anyone could ask for!

I’ll be back tomorrow with how we revealed baby #2 to our families.

    Congratulations, Taryn!! I just recently announced on my blog a couple weeks ago that I’m pregnant with our first child and am due in late August so our dates are close. I am 17 weeks and 4 days today. We’re anxious to find out the gender in a few weeks during our 20-wk ultrasound. I just love your announcement card-so cute and creative! I did something that I thought was creative and it took my in-laws a few moments to figure it out too. I just saw the cake you made today with the due date, I love this idea for when we have baby #2 one day-thanks for the inspiration! :)
