Day 6 – the big news
June 24th, 2010
Our family and friends mostly know about this already, but I want to tell the rest of you and get this out of the way. I know, I’m weird, but I don’t like telling people big news like this. I don’t like being the center of attention. I get hot and uncomfortable and people are just happy for me and want to share in my excitement and joy and all I can think about is slinking away to a corner where I can blend into the furniture.
So…yep. I’m pregnant. I’m about 16 weeks along now. I feel good, no morning sickness or major food aversions, just the need to sleep 14 hours a day, and apparently to spend several of my waking hours crocheting—perhaps my recent burst of creativity has been hormone-fueled?
We don’t know yet if it’s a boy or girl. Yes, we plan to find out at our next ultrasound. No, we have not thought about names yet.
We’re happy, of course, except for Annalie. “Happy” is too mild a word to describe her utter joy and excitement that she’s finally going to be a big sister. She’s been waiting years for this.

Bethany, congrats!
BETHANY!!!!! I had no idea you guys were trying!
CONGRATULATIONS!!
Oh my gosh! Congrats!
Oh my gosh! I am so very excited for you! Congratulations : )
D’you know – I’m actually (!) all teary-eyed now. Even though this isn’t really new news. I guess I could just follow suit and blame hormones (and just to be perfectly clear: not “special” hormones, just regular, everyday hormones).
WEEEEEE! Oh, I’m so happy for your family! :)
As soon as you know anything, let me know the sex and your favvvorite disney movie. There will be a painting in your future :)
I read and almost never comment, but I am THRILLED. my boys are 6 1/2 years apart, not on purpose, but it has worked out so well. there is plenty of time to smother-mother both of them. and A will be SUCH a huge help.
Oh Bethany, I am so excited for you! Congrats and big, big hugs!
OH Bethany! Congrats! That is SO Awesome! A very happy pregnancy… (and birth and child raising…) to you! Woohoo!
Congrats!!!! So happy for you :) Annalie as a big sis will be the coolest thing ever.
I’m kinda the same way when it comes to big news. However, I’m still really excited for you! Congrats!
OMG how awesome! Congrats! Ohh Annalie is gonna be such a good helper! Ireland is wonderful with her lil sister.
OMG! I am so happy for you I can barely restrain myself from jumping up and down (which would be difficult with a Sam on my lap).
Awww, how exciting! Congratulations. Wishing you all the best.
Tee, hee, hee, I love how you did this!
aw, congratulations!
Yay! Congrats! I can’t wait to see some Annalie-isms about the baby, lol!
What wonderfully happy news! Annabelle will be a wonderful sister and you are such an excellent mother. The baby will be so blessed!
a little birdy may already have told me this, but huge congratulations to you all! so excited for you, and can’t wait to see the little one in future 7days runs. just don’t go lifting any more inflatable pools, got it?! ;)
Oh, YAY! I’m so excited for all the Actuallys! Babies are just so wonderful. You are such an awesome mom (and I know Troy is an awesome dad) so I am super happy that you get another baby to love on. Annalie is going to rock the big sister gig.
P.S. I love your calendar! I had one by that artist last year (his name escapes me) and this year I couldn’t find one by him to save my life.
Congrats, Bethany! Wonderful news for you and your family!
How exciting! A new Actually baby! Congratulations!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO AWESOME!
I’m the exact same way – as you described in the first paragraph. My wedding was quite the hellish experience for me. And baby/weddomg showers? The WORST THINGS EVER. (Besides the generous friends/family, but STOP LOOKING AT ME!)
So stoked for you guys. Annalie’s going to be an AWESOME big sister. :)
