We’re excited to announce that the Petersik family is currently under construction. Our new addition is expected on May 19th. We’re thrilled, even though a certain someone won’t be the baby anymore…
Yup, Sherry’s got a proverbial bun in her proverbial oven. And we couldn’t be more elated to share the news with you guys! More details to follow on Friday (so ask any and all q’s and we’ll answer as many as we can at the end of the week).
Until then it’s back to before & afters and DIY ideas- we’re nothing if not home obsessed…
Holly says
Congrats you guys, that’s awesome news!! And the last thing I expected to see when I logged on today! Hmm, I have a couple of questions…. will you find out what you’re having? Do you have baby names picked out? Congrats again, and best wishes with the pregnancy!

Brandy @ Loving Blakely says
WOW! I totally thought you were going to say you guys were getting another dog, but even better, you guys are having a BABY! In MAY! She’s already 3 months along! WOW, just WOW!
I am overjoyed you two! How you feeling Sherry????
Chrissy says
Of course I offer my congratulations along with everyone else, but I admit my first reaction was confusion (I thought you were getting another dog!) because of the recent Q&A for your blogiversary and you insisted you wouldn’t be having kids so soon. I hope this wasn’t just for the readers! ;)
And as wonderful as a new baby is, just please remember us young people who are happily child-less and keep the non-baby stuff there, too!
Sara Lang says
Congrats!!
Leigh says
CONGRATS you guys!!!!
Maxime says

Maria says
John and Sherry,
How fabulous! I am so happy for you both. After some initial snubbing, I’m sure Burger will treat that baby like his own! Congratulations!
Ally S says
I knew it! You’ve left a lot of hints recently – I just wish I’d put money on it. Congratulations guys – this is going to be the most publicised pregnancy in the blogosphere!
Christy says
Oh CONGRATS!!!!! I’m due in a week and 1/2 with my first…a baby boy! So of course I’m an emotional mess and hearing your news left me with tears of happiness in my eyes. Ahh you guys will be such good parents. The pregnancy goes SO fast..it really does..enjoy it! I can’t wait for my baby boy to get here!! :)
Jules says
Congratulations ! How exciting for you guys! I’m sure you are going to be fantastic parents. As someone who grew up in Richmond I can say it’s a WONDERFUL place to be a kid :o) Congratulations, again !
Erin says
It’s funny to be so excited for people you don’t even know but CONGRATULATIONS! I have a few questions:
1. Were you concerned about the dry-lock while pregnant?
2. How did you tell the family?
3. Any green pregnancy tips?
Sevi says
Saw your wall on Facebook and rushed here! I’m super happy and excited for you (which my husband finds freaky, getting so anxious about a couple I haven’t seen actually)
It was about time Burger got a sister / brother. Which room will you transform into the nursery? Oh elephants! There should be elephants!
Yulia says
I knew it too! Why else would you be redoing the basement…to make room for a nursery! Duh! So happy for the both of you!
Amy says
Congratulations!

I have a four month old, born 07-08-09. Shortly after his birth, while perusing the internets on my trusty iPhone during a late night breastfeeding session, I found your blog and thought to myself: ‘these people need to never have children because they won’t ever have the time for this sh*t’…pardon the cussing, it was late at night and I was low…VERY LOW…on sleep at the time.
Fast forward a couple of months from his birth and my husband and I decided to take on the project of repainting our master bedroom walls and trim. It looks awesome if I do say so myself, but I have never sent any pictures to you because it still. isn’t. done. What, at one point in our lives, was a one weekend project, is now a 5-6 weekend project plus all the weekends afterwards to find time to finish up all the little tiny projects associated with this big one…like put-up-the-new-drapes-we-got or touch-up-the-ceiling-where-we-bumped-it.
Fast forward two more months to where we are now with only a few precious moments during the day to get anything done, and your announcement (which I somehow figured was coming) makes me wonder: with a blog this big, a house with so many projects AND a dog with his own blog. How do you plan to do it all?
Coasting anon in Roslindale, MA mt Little G who right now just woke up crying so I have to cut this short (believe it or not, I had more to say)
Sherrie says
How excited am I get to follow your baking story along with the Bower’s baking story when we are steeped in our very own? Yes! When all the world has a different glow cast upon it in light of our world-changing journey into parenthood, some of my fav blogs will also see the world with the same glow.
New life no matter how common is always miraculous. We just watched our baby evade the sonogram papparazi (outstretched hand in face), and we cannot wait to hold our wee one. Congrats on your own!
Melissa says
Wonderful news… your house is about to get a whole new kind of lovin’! Enjoy the next 6 months and prepare to embrace “baby” as your new style for a while ~ totally worth it! As a new mom and one who loves to decorate and have a pretty home, I was really struck by this word of wisdom from a dear friend and mom of 3 teenage boys: “remember that you are raising children, not living rooms… so if you have to put away the silk pillows and glasstops for a season, but your children feel loved and welcome in their home, that is a beauty far more lasting!”
Matt P says
When’s the baby blog coming?
Lacey says
Congrats! I’m so happy (and jealous!) for you too! What I want to know is which room are you turning into the nursery?
Juliana says
Wow, congratulations!! And great shirt, B.
Kelly says
Wow! Congratulations! What a wonderful time of year to have a baby. I hope Sherry has a very happy and healthy pregnancy.
Rachel L. says
You two will be such wonderful parents! You need to pass along your awesomeness, so this is fantastic news. How are you feeling, Sherry? Expect to be tired in the first trimester. It takes a lot of naps to grow a baby!!
Lisa says
Congrats! (I’m laughing that it’s exactly 6 months basically to the day that your new one is due… you must be glad to be done with your first trimester!!)
teresa says
Happy Day! Can’t wait to see the nursery take shape =) and all the cute idea I’m sure you will come up with.
Blessings-
