We’re excited to announce that the Petersik family is under construction again. Yup, someone’s gonna be a big sister… and she’s pretty darn excited about it.
The proverbial bun in Sherry’s oven is scheduled to arrive in April, and we’re both elated to be growing.
(I’ll happily put on some sympathy weight – it’s the least I can do)
Burger, on the other hand, has no idea what’s going on. But he’s generally excited about life, so that’s nice.
Sherry’s first trimester wasn’t without a few trials (a fender bender that had us worried for a bit and some pretty intense morning all-day sickness for the lady-wife to name a few) but we’re so grateful that all signs point to a healthy little bun so far. Given Clara’s birth complications, this pregnancy falls in the high risk category (more on that here and here), but we were excited to reach the safe-to-share milestone so we could spill the happy news to friends and family this weekend (conveniently while Nonna was in town). And now we get to share it with you guys!
Since you’re a curious bunch, we figured we’d answer your questions in a follow-up post on Friday like we did the first time we told the interwebs we were having a kid. So ask away, and we’ll answer as much as we can at the end of the week. Until then, I’m gonna get back to working on the sunroom and Sherry’s going to do her darndest to keep her breakfast down, probably while painting something.

Congrats!!!!! So exciting! Wishing you an easy pregnancy, a drama free labor and a healthy, happy baby!
I bet this kid just about falls out! My second one did after a not-so-great first time around. It is birthing karma.
Didn’t even have time for an epidural!
Good luck and looking forward to hearing your updates!
Leyna Williams says
Wahooooooo!!!! Here’s to hoping that all-day sickness now uses up the misery quota and this birth will be uneventful and easy. We are all rooting for a happy and healthy mama and baby!

Lauren @ Everyday Lauren says
I am soooooooo beyond excited for you all!!!
I know you probably don’t care as long as the baby is healthy, but if you HAD TO choose, would you like a boy or a girl?
My brother and SIL are having a boy- the due date is TOMORROW!!!!
So excited for you,
XO

Jana says
For a while I had been following your email, and I feel that you are already part of my friends. I’mmm soooooo happy for you two!!! You are a family full of love and this baby is super blessed!
Courtney says
Ahh!!! So excited! Clara is going to be an excellent older sister. Is it bad that I’m more excited about this than the new house (and I was over the moon about that!)?
Valerie says
Congrats on both being with child and no longer having to suffer the question “When will you have another kid”. I’m wishing you a safe and healthy pregnancy.
Now for my question: Will you do the same picture project or will you think of a new way to document this child’s first year?

Mary says
Congrats! You must be so excited!! The timing couldn’t have been more funny – I went back and read the “State of the Uterus” post yesterday and some of the comments, and was wondering if this was going to happen soon… I must have subconsciously picked up on some pregnancy vibes or something :p
Lura says

lexie says
CONGRATS! I’m so happy for you all…and I have to say I suspected when I saw the pic of you in the show house post. Looking back at it, I have no idea why I thought that. :) Anyway, woohoo! Another room to fill-and Clara is going to be an awesome big sis!
Beth says
Yay!! Congrats to you all!
Amy says
Congratulations!! Is it weird that I teared up reading this? I also had a terrifying birth (placental abruption like you, plus massive clotting and prematurity to boot) but ended up with a healthy baby girl. It just makes you appreciate them so much more, huh? :) I am praying for a healthy, healing pregnancy and birth for you! What an exciting time!
Nadine says
I knew that this was coming soon! I could feel it! I am so excited for you!! My three favorite bloggers are expecting (YHL, BP, and Little Baby Garvin)!!! Congrats!!
Jen H says
Yay!!! Congrats!!! I’m beyond thrilled for you!
My husband and I are expecting our first baby to arrive the beginning of April too! Because of our history if losses, we opted for the Harmony test and know we are having a girl. Can our babies be BFFs?!? I’m so excited to follow along with you and Katie through our journeys. I’m feeling you on the all day sickness. I was hoping the start of the 2nd tri would bring better days, but no such luck yet. I hope you find relief soon!
Katie says
I already tried to post, but I don’t know of it took…
YAY YAY YAY!!! Congratulations to you and your family; I love new baby announcments, even if I don’t personally know the person announcing.
Virginia says
Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You guys certainly deserve all the happiness.
Megan says
So thrilled to hear this news! I’ve never rooted this much for strangers who write a blog that I read. :) Congrats to all from MN!
Sarah says
Congrats! I’ve been a longtime reader, but first-time poster. I am so excited to follow your journey because we have an almost 3 year old little girl ourselves and are also expecting in April (11th here)! We also just moved, are currently renting, and plan to buy when our lease is up in April so the whole having a toddler/having a baby/settling into a new house thing you guys are doing hits home for us! Congrats again!
Anne says
Congratulations can’t wait to see how you decorate the next nursery! Are y’all going to find out the gender this go around?
I’m not far behind you, due late April-early May. I’m counting down the days until I am out of the first trimester; all day sickness is no fun.
Kelly says
Woot woot!!! Congrats guys from up in Jerz!
Stacey @ Likes to Smile says
Congratulations!!! Such happy news and healthy news.
Britt says
Congrats!!!! That’s a lucky baking bean to get to have parents like y’all.
PS – All the best kids are born in April ;)
Ashley says
OMG Congrats! How funny, I was just randomly re-reading the State of the Uterus post yesterday. Yay Petersiks!
