What’s Baking?!

Posted on by Kellie Van

I’m so thrilled to share what we’ve known for over 4 months now! Something’s been baking and no, it’s not Parisian bread. There’s a bun in the oven and it’s due this upcoming winter!!

We feel so incredibly blessed and extremely excited to give Zoey a little sibling. I’m  anxious to meet our little bundle of joy but not looking forward to the bundle of exhaustion and sleepless nights to come shortly thereafter (let’s keep it real!).

For those of you who might be interested (whether you too are expecting and can relate or trying…) – this pregnancy has been very different from Zoey’s in many ways. For the most part, I feel great. I felt like my first pregnancy was as bad as it can get (the extreme nausea, food aversions, exhaustion, discomfort, etc). Although this time around, I’ve been having MAJOR indigestion but thankfully taking Zantac (OK’d by my Dr.) has helped tremendously. Please DO NOT take any medications during pregnancy unless you’ve consulted with your physician!

But of course I would go through this and more b/c the end result is all so worth it. Zoey has been such a major blessing in our lives and realizing that another baby can give us the same joy is priceless. It makes me appreciate being pregnant that much more…

bumpI thought it would be fun to create another series…call Bump Watch. You can expect a Bump Watch series post every month as I document my pregnancy progression and share with you the latest and greatest Bump News! It’ll be fun to see how I style The Bump as the weather gets colder. This is a totally different experience for me as I was due in the summertime with Zoey.

  3. Congratulations on being pregnant–again! :). If you think you were in for a ride with one, just wait until you finally have two! 😉 But you will be truly blessed in so many ways with all your children. God bless and looking forward to see more of the Bump in the coming months! 🙂

  5. Congratulations! This is such good news! Another child changes a beautiful single bud to a whole bouquet, a solo instrument to an orchestra. Just adding another laugh to the family laughter is the richest sound ever. 🙂 I’m so happy for you!

    1. Kiyara- You will never feel ready to raise a child. It’s A LOT of responsibilities and takes much time and effort. Even for us as having Zoey was planned, we had no clue what we were doing most of the times (still don’t!). But the joy that a baby brings to your life is far more amazing than I’ve ever expected. It’s truly the best gift in the world. It’s something that one wouldn’t understand until one’s a parent.

      I say “Go For It!”.

      Best of luck! Kellie

    1. Hi Aimee- Zoey will be 2.5yrs when the baby arrives! Our initial plan was to have them much closer in age but that changed when we realized how exhausting it was to be a parents!
