Some big news. . .

By 94 Comments

If you are regular reader than you may have noticed things have been spotty around my social media channels. Sure I’ve been pushing out one post after another as usual, but in terms of activity elsewhere—I could hardly find the energy. There’s a reason for that.

I’m having a baby! Matt and I are so excited. The boys are thrilled and have already placed their order for a baby sister. Matt and I, like any parents, just want a healthy baby, especially after trying for several months now. What we can all agree on is that, we can’t wait to meet the newest member of our family on May 28th—which by the way seems like almost an eternity. Even more so when I tell you this—the hardest part all this excitement: the smell of mixed butter and sugar makes me sick. Seriously. I can’t even get over this part. How does that happen?

I’m hoping this is not an indication of yet another non-sweeter consumer in the family. I’m really hoping this little one will inherit some of my sweet of tooth. But based on my current meal list of super spicy soup and iced tea—it’s not looking too promising. Even natural sweets like fruits (which I love) have been off the list, since that makes me sick too.

The only sickness that I refuse to relent to: butter and sugar. That’s right, this stubborn baker will beat that gag “reflex” into submission. So expect it to be business as usual around here.

No sweets today, because I wanted to share this super exciting news. But see you tomorrow for our regularly scheduled programming of sweets and indulgence.

    My mom ate Mexican food and craved nothing sweet. Now I am allergic to pretty much all ingredients that make up Mexican food and crave sweets….there is hope!

    My birthday is May 28th! It’s the best day 🙂 Almost always falls on Memorial Day weekend too, which is perfect for celebrating! Hope you have a smooth pregnancy– and get over the butter thing soon!

    Congratulations! Huge news! Even though you’re way over there on the other side of the screen and are pretty much a complete stranger, a baby is always cause for celebration ^^

    Warmest wishes and a heart-felt congratulations to you and your family, Naomi! I hope your pregnancy is easy-going as possible and that you have a smooth labor and delivery with no complications. I’m wondering if the scent of extracts or essential oils (aromatherapy) may help with your nausea? Try sniffing some scents and use the one that makes you feel better in a diffuser or warm pot of water nearby when you’re creaming your butter and sugar. It’s worth a try! xo

    Oh, wow! There is NO greater blessing. And now I’m getting a little choked up and emotional because my baby turned one last week, and she’s my last baby… *wipes tear

    That’s fantastic! I hope the sea sickness gets over soon, we need you back to creaming butter and sugar as soon as possible! Maybe you’ll have the babe on June 2, my daughter’s bday, that’s just a few days late of your due date 🙂

    Yippee! Congratulations Naomi! Nothing better than new little people coming into our lives. Hoping you’ll be past the queasiness soon!

    Naomi… you have my deepest sympathy! I was So sick with three of my pregnancies that I couldnt step foot in my kitchen. I had a few posts that I had to get up during the worst of things and even to this day when I look at those images I get nauseous. I am sure you are hearing about all the tips and tricks to help combat being sick in your first trimester, but if you need any more advice I have a LOT! 🙂 Praying for you!

  60. Cat says

    How exciting! Congratulations! Very happy for your new little one to come. 🙂 Don’t things get better after the first trimester? In the meantime, if you’re up to it and feel like sharing, or if you’d rather share non-sweets, that’s OK, too.

  65. Jenny Flake says

    Yay!! Congratulations Naomi!! I remember those early pregnancy months so clearly, they are the worst!! Best of luck, can’t wait to see your little sweet bundle 🙂

    Congratulations!!! Baby news are the best!!!! It’s just such an amazing feeling… I really feel for your morning sickness, I had all day sickness in all my pregnancies and they lasted more than 5 months, so you are in my thoughts for that…
    Take care!!!

  75. Cristina says

    Congratulations to you and your family, Naomi! What happy news…hope your butter and sugar aversion passes quickly. 🙂

  92. Kathy says

    Congrats! on the newest member of the family. I pray you have a healthy baby girl if that is the wish of your family. I will pray that you “morning sickness” passes soon. Please keep us updated on how things are progressing 🙂
