You may have noticed a lack of big DIY projects on my blog over the last few months. No Britney Spears coffee tables. No ugly purple desks. No painting huge laminate armoires.
Lately, I’ve just felt sick. And tired. And sick and tired of being sick and tired. But, I have a good reason why.
I am now able to joyously announce that Zack’s biggest wish has come true. He is finally going to be a big brother.
As you can imagine, we are simply over the moon that we’ll have a second little one joining us in August. I think this is the one ultimate DIY project that doesn’t need a tutorial.
He has grand plans of “baby brother” sleeping with him in his bed as soon as he’s born. It’s too early for us to know the sex of the baby, but Zack and I are both 100% convinced (and super excited) that it will be another boy. My husband, Tom, isn’t making any predictions. He’s no fun!
I’m at the end of my first trimester, and we’ve had our 12 week scan to make sure everything is looking good. I’m hoping that I will be back to my energetic, DIY self in the next few weeks.
I want to give a huge thanks to my long-time friend JJ of The BLAH BLAH BLAHger and Jen Johnson Photography. I took these photos of Zack and she waved her magic editing wand on them (all while keeping my pregnancy a secret). I love you, Jen!
I also ordered his shirt from Zoey’s Attic. It’s so adorable that I know that some of you would be asking. I can’t wait to order matching Big/Little tees once the baby gets here.
Congrats to Natalie! I’ll get you in contact with Cathy so you can make your selection!

Congratulations! I am sure that it was tough to keep mum while being so excited.
Congratulations Lindsay on your most exciting news!
Ok, I just have to say that I *totally* knew it! Or at least I suspected. I wanted to ask you a dozen times. I'm so happy for you Lindsay!! You will love having them 4 1/2 years apart too. Zack will be such a wonderful helper!
Super huge congratulations!!!
(Love the shirt too! I'll have to check that gal out.)
Congrats on Baby!!!

Great news!! Congratulations! I am loving that shirt so much – going to check her out now.
Congrats. That is adorable big brother being so proud and excited. I "trained" my son to help his little sister out (hold her hand across the street with me, keep her from going up the stairs, etc.) and they were/are inseperable. It makes my heart go pitter patter to see them hold hands across the street still and it's 6 years later! Aw, the love.
Congrats!!!
Hahaha I loved this: "I think this is the one ultimate DIY project that doesn't need a tutorial."
Could be a great way to boost some traffic! lol

Congratulations!
I'm expecting August 9th, and I've felt totally the same the past few months. I've managed to avoid morning sickness, but not the fatigue and typically I'm just not up for much more than taking care of the house while it's just me at home.
Looking forward to some nursery posts!
Congrats to you!! Many blessings for a great pregnancy and birth!
congratulations! what a sweet big brother

Congrats!!! How stinking exciting for your family! So tell me – HOW have you kept this a secret?! I JUST found out this week that I'm pregnant as well with #2 and it is killing me to wait til next week! (I'm making V-Day cards to send to family. Except I'm doing something baby-themed on the outside, then inside will write something like "Oops, we must have forgotten it's Valentine's Day. We have baby on the brain!" and then including a picture of the pregnancy test.)
Again, congratulations Lindsay! I'm super excited for you.
Congrats! To you and your family ;o)
Wonderful photos of Zach, he looks like a great "big brother" in training! Happiness to you all.

It's been said very well here, but I'd like to add my super big "congrats" to you and your family!
I read your bog this morning and promptly went and ordered two of those shirts for two of my grandkids that have a sibling on the way. Then I just found out this afternoon that my other daughter is having a third child too! I guess I had better go order a couple more! Yikes! I will have 6 grandkids by the time I turn 50! Thanks so much for sharing – your son is adorable and congrats!
Congratulations!!! So happy for you.
Congratulations!!!
Congratulations Lindsay!! We have a 5 year old boy and after 4 years of trying, we found out at Christmas that we were pregnant with blessing #2…also due in August. My 5 year old son sounds like your Zack, he has been praying for a baby brother/sister for a long time and is VERY excited! I will have to order him one of those adorable shirts. I hope you start feeling better soon…and by the way, I love your blog!
