Some Happy News!!! (One Year Later!!!)

{Oh those exclamation points. This is becoming a bit of a problem…}
Calm down. I’m not pregnant again! That would certainly be happy news, but a bit soon. Little Girl is just six months and the reality is that she’s probably our last child. It is hard for me to even write this. I know that we are infinitely blessed to have a trio of happy and healthy blue-eyed babes at home, but the notion of never being pregnant again is quite tough for me. It is.
So, no. I’m not announcing that I am with child. But I am announcing a pregnancy…
Exactly one year ago today, on September 13, 2010, I shared the news here on ILI that I was pregnant with Little Girl. And today, on September 13, 2011, I am announcing that my Little Sister C is pregnant! And, get this, she is due on Little Girl’s birthday. How fun is that? Fun, I tell you.
So. I am really excited for C and her hubby N and their little dude Baby Bulldog. Those of you who have been reading my words for a while might remember the story of Baby Bulldog’s debut in this big, bad world. If you haven’t read that sweet and silly story, click here. Anyway, it’s absurd how quickly time flies. I remember that day like it was yesterday. And I remember the day I announced my own pregnancy like it was three hours ago. Time is a nutty thing.
So. We are all really excited that the Donnelley fam will continue to grow. And believe it or not, I’m not envious of C and her burgeoning belly (okay, only a bit). Just extremely pumped for them. For all of us.
C will find out whether she is expecting another boy or a girl in just a few weeks. My money’s on girl… We shall see!
Congrats, C and fam. I love you guys and can’t wait to meet your little one in a few months’ time.

Did you honestly think I was pregnant again?
Isn’t it awesome that C is due on Little Girl’s birthday? Do you think she will have a boy or a girl?










Congrats to C! And Sept 13 (today) is my sister (D’s) bday so lots of overlap. She is not pregnant though, her son is looking at colleges, I am going to email her and if she is preggers I will die.
Congratulations to your sister and her family! I have been praying for years to be an auntie … my sister certainly makes it look fun
Cousins who are close in age make the absolute best friends in the world.
I can read the excitement in which you are living your life through your recent use of exclamation points. Heck, don’t apologize! Just continue living life like you are already doing.
Anyway, congratulations to sister C!! I am thrilled for her to add to her brood and for you to welcome a new, sweet, nephew/niece.
I’m so excited for your sister C and my cousin N!!! Can’t wait to find out – boy or girl! I know Baby Bulldog will make a great big bro!! I think I’ll need to make a visit to NYC after the baby is born. Cousin N did say I could come whenever – as long as I help with the kids…! Look at me, exclamation extraordinaire here! It’s contagious!!
Congrats to your sister C and also your family. Look forward to hearing more.
