I'm sorry I couldn't tell you sooner, it just wasn't the right time.
This video will explain everything. (turn your volume on)
Did you watch it?!? Really?? Isn't that the cutest thing EVER!!
P made it for all of Samster's grandparents, I think he did SUCH a good job! I'm really sorry I couldn't tell you sooner, the one bummer about this blog is I write it for all of my great blog friends but have to also keep in mind that the entire creepy internet could be watching too. I just didn't want to share until things were more in the clear.
I'm 13 weeks along & am due August 27th which is exactly 9 days after Sam's due date was! Although Sam was 3 weeks early so hopefully Chum Chum (that's what we've nicknamed the baby by the way. Hey, it's better than 'Cletus the Fetus' which is what my husband was originally calling it) won't be early & they'll have a good month between their birthdays. I always said I wanted my kids to be 2 years apart so they'd be buddies and boy did we hit that on the mark!
Hopefully this also explains why over the last 2 months I've been kind of in & out with my blog consistency. The morning sickness this time was KILLER. Seriously, SOOOO much worse than with Sam. I threw up every single day, at least once a day, for 4 straight weeks. UGH!!
That's why you got so many recipe posts during that time, they're easy to put together. (;
I am cautiously optimistic though that the nausea is mostly behind me. Just like with Sam I seemed to hit 12 wks and magically start to feel better.
So that's the big Samster news! I'd be lying if I said I wasn't really nervous to have another one. Life with Sam is finally "easy". She sleeps, plays by herself, has little conversations with us...it's really fun. The thought of going through that whole newborn stage again, with a toddler in tow, is intimidating to say the least. But I just keep telling myself, lots of people have had more than kid, many even closer in age than these will be & they kept their sanity just fine. Most of the time...
Congratulations!! That was such an awesome video. Best of luck in your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! Such exciting news!
ReplyDeleteI had terrible morning sickness with my last child..it was HORRIBLE!!! So I know how that can be, but so worth it in the end!
Hope your pregnancy gets easier!
Yay congratulations! I just heard on the radio. That is super exciting.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I absolutely love reading your blog. Best wishes to you and your family...
ReplyDeleteCongrats , your doubling your fun.
ReplyDeleteMy daughters due dates were three weeks apart and somehow they ended up with their birthdays one day apart but we love how that worked out.
Congratulations! I with you on the nervous part. My son will be 3 in July and I am having another one in October. On the good days I think "Yay, another baby", on the bad days I start to cry and wonder if I can give this one back.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding News! Congratulations! That is such a cute way to make the announcement for the grandparents. I'll bet they loved it.

ReplyDeleteCongratulations! That was such a brilliant way to tell the grandparents! So lovely! Good luck with the impending arrival!
ReplyDeleteJust heard it on 99.5 also, congrats! I'm sure you'll do great, you're already a great Mom! And just think about all the new baby fashions you get to dream up! :-) LOVE the video!
ReplyDeleteI heard about you and your hubs via FB! Congrats!!!!
ReplyDeleteCan't see the video and sorry I haven't kept up with you in a while - got to about 33 weeks then litterally puttered out, gave birth and puttered out again - being a mom is tiring...no wonder my mom hid in the bathroom to get away from us.
The video is adorable! Congrats to you, peter, and sam! If it's a boy, you will have to come up with super cute cloths for him too!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! What exciting news!!! And what a fun way to share the news...such a cute video! I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! The video is awesome and the news even better!
ReplyDeleteYou will be fine, with some off-days here and there but in the end it's great!
Don't forget you've raised one baby to toddler, you can do that again!
Warm hugs,
Sandra
When I read your blog title, I said "she's pregnant!" - I'm so smart! haha!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! I'm sure you will do GREAT with 2 little ones! All my friends that have 2 say its not as hard as they thought it would be.
Keep us posted on how things go and I really hope that the puking is behind you! (I threw up every day for 5 months! - I feel your pain!!)
Congratulations! Great due date...that's my wedding anniversary! Hope the morning sickness has passed, that's the worst!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! It is awesome having two babies, tough, but awesome.
ReplyDeleteThe video was fabulous! I loved it.
Congratulations!!! When I heard there was big news yesterday on the show I was hoping this would be it!!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! What an amazing video. I bet the grandparents were so excited. My toddler's birthday is Aug 22, but her due date was Aug 29. It was nice to have them while it is still warm out and you don't have to be inside all the time (like during snow storms).
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! Wowzer!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat video:)
I am always reading Your posts but I am not commenting so often as I should.
Oh, I want too:D we are trying for 6 months now, maybe soon, I hope:)
I wish You very healthy & no problematic pragnancy and baby, second cutie:***
Congratulations and God's many blessings on all of you - how exciting, I loved the video -a great way to break the news:) Tone (Norway)
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Sooo exciting! Great video!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I understand how you feel about having a toddler and being nervous about another on the way. My daughter will be 2 in March and the second is due Sept. 6.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I loved the video. Such an adorable idea. You are about a month behind me! Yay for 2nd babies. We can go through this together. I was very sick with both of my pregnancies so I feel your pain. It's the worst. I'm really happy for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteThat is the cutest video EVER!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I heard the fantastic news on the radio this morning by your hubby and he mentioned the video. I couldn't wait to see it. What a fantastic idea! I might have to steal it! If we are as lucky to get pregnant again this year. Did you just take pics of Sam by the computer and do the video on the mac? How easy is it?
ReplyDeleteAre you guys going to find out the sex of the baby?
Again, congrats!
That is so exciting! Congratulations! I love the video. I may have to put iMovie to use when we have our second little one. Great video.
ReplyDeletegreat video, what a neat way for Grandparents to find out...love your blog.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!! Wonderful news! I hope the morning sickness is all gone! And the video was adorable.
ReplyDeleteAs a Mom to an early baby - can I ask why sam was 3 weeks early?
Congratulations Natasha ! I love the video.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations !!! that was the cutest video ever !
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I have two babies two years apart! Annabelle will be 3 April 16th and her baby brother, Dash will be 1 on May 3rd. It's fun! Hectic but fun! I love the video! What a fun way to tell people!
ReplyDeleteThat video made me tear up! SOOO cute! Mine are 13 months apart and if I did it, so can you. My youngest is now 6 1/2 months an while he was miserable for the first 3 months of life, he is such a happy baby now and LOVES his big brother!!! You will love having them close! Will you find out if you are having a boy or girl?
ReplyDeleteI already knew it. I could tell from the change in your posts!
ReplyDeleteCongrats Natasha, P & Samster! Love the video!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am so excited for you!!!
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!! That is so amazing!!!
ReplyDeletecongrats!!
ReplyDeleteI have two that are 19 months apart! right now they are just 1 and 2 going to be three in may! Its a blast! It was a lot easier then I thought it would be! just remember to get sleep when you can!
awesome way to tell the family! cute
Congratulations!! That's wonderful news and I'm so happy for you guys. My little one's are 25 months apart and they're absolutely the best playmates and it's so adorable. So, perfect timing! Best of luck for a wonderful pregnancy and delivery!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations. The video was so touching! I loved it. I had all three of my kids close in age. When my first was 15 months to the day I had my second, I had my third when #2 was 21 months. It was alot of work, but totally paid off. Rest while you can. No lie! Sam naps, mommy naps. Once you have the 2nd it will be alot harder to ever rest. Best of luck and can't wait to hear all of your stories.
ReplyDeleteJust wanted to let you know when I was getting ready to send my post that the security word was "blessec" that is as close to "blessed" that you can get. I think that is a sign ;-)
ReplyDeleteYay!!! Congrats, this is wonderful news :) It's clearly win/win whether you have a boy or a girl. If its a girl, the pretty ruffles continue, and if it's a boy...think of all the new crafty potential! Really, best of luck to you and the hubby!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I'm sure you'll do fine with two, Samster will be a big help, right?!?
ReplyDeleteAww, that was so cute! Congratulations!!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! This is so exciting! That video is adorable.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm also 13 weeks along and due at the same time :) This is also my second child. I'm very nervous!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!!! How exciting! I can't wait to see how you decided to decorate the nursery and all the baby ideas you come up with. :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!!! That video is awesome!! You will be great with two. It is an adjustment, no doubt, but also twice as fun--when it's not twice as hard :). You will love it. And the two year spacing is great--my youngest two are two yrs apart & are as thick as thieves!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! Thats such exciting new. Hope you feel better. Its tough being sick with a toddler.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATS!!!! The video was so sweet and cute! Your DH rocks!! So happy for you guys!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSeriously cute video! Congratulations! An old wives tale says that if your early pregnancy is so very different from your first, that the sex of the baby is different. I was so sick with my first....several times a day, every day, for 6 months. With my second I was hardly sick at all....just a little bit. Boy and girl. Here's wishing you a happy and easy pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteMany congrats!! I hope you have a boy so that you can post some cute boy crafts... :)
ReplyDeleteSo creative! CONGRATULATIONS!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! I am so excited to see what new crafts come with baby. Is it selfish to hope it's a boy so I can have more ideas for my little one? haha Loved the video, and I hope Sam isn't too bothered by the newest addition:)
ReplyDeleteLOVE the video way to cute. Tell ya what send me your address and I'll get a little something in the mail for her and the new one. That way she won't have to share. I'm doing the toy society and have a few toys made up already.
ReplyDeleteHolly
OMG, I teared up watching that. Congrats!!! How very exciting! YAY!
ReplyDeleteCute video! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I'm sure you'll do just fine! : ) August 27 is my little one's birthday!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! As a veteran Mum I can honestly, hand-on-heart, SWEAR that #2 is easier than #1 - you've done it all before and at least you know which end to stick on your boob and which end to stick into a diaper! Best of luck for the rest of your pregnancy, the delivery and the fun to follow!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!! I think this is great! How cute would it be if it were a boy and you could make him cool outfits too!
ReplyDeleteBTW, August 3rd is the greatest day of the year to be born! No pressure! :O)
Please remember in all the chaos of life to take care of yourself!
God Bless!!!
Congratulations! What a great way to tell your family, very creative. We bought a gift bag stuffed it with baby items. I was suppose to never be able to concieve and my baby is 5 today. I love your blog and glad that you are feeling better.
ReplyDeletecongrats! what a fun time for you and your family!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
ReplyDeleteWOW...big new from the "samsters"...Does this mean a change in the blog name...We had five kids in eight years. The first 10 years of that is a complete BLUR!! You'll do fine. I almost hope for a boy so we can see cute boy creations. Wishing you and your a healthhy journey.
ReplyDeleteCongrats! I just have to say I enjoy reading your blog on baby fashion and arts and crafts. Love the creativity.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy for you. That's about the time I want to start trying for our second. I can't wait to read all about things pregnancy and continue on with the normal blog stuff but my one question is how are you only going to be Samster Mommy? What about the new little one? haha.
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!! That was so awesome, P did a wonderful job! I'm glad you are feeling better. I was sick the whole 9 months with both my girls and not a day at all with my son. So I'm glad you're past it. Such exciting times ahead for you guys. All my best to the now 4 of you! :-)
ReplyDeleteI forgot to mention that my first two are 11 1/2 months apart and now 14 and 15. I now have a little one almost 15 months old and I look back and wonder how the heck did I do it with 2. I know you will do just fine. You are a GREAT mom!! :-)
ReplyDeleteParabéns!!!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
I have a 3 year old daughter and being trying to give her a brother or sister but still haven't happen, but I understand completely about the nervous thing!
Some days think it would be impossible!
Probably one of those things that after happen turn to be easier than we thought at first! ;)
Oh my gosh! Congrats! I am so excited for you, and a little jealous too. I am now almost 17 weeks and I am still nauseated! Can you believe that? I have been able to add back in some foods, but the sick feeling remains. No FUN!
ReplyDeleteI hope that everything goes well throughout your pregnancy and I am looking forward to hearing about it too!
Congrats! Your blog is adorable. Live your husbands show and can't believe I didn't know you blogged! You have yourself a new follower! :)
ReplyDeletecongratulations. Mine are 21 months apart (onw boy, one girl) and I wouldn't have it any other way. They are best friends and love to play together. Hope you're feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteCONGRATULATIONS!!!
ReplyDeletecongrats! BTW, cutest way to announce a pregnancy ever!
ReplyDeleteThat's so exciting! Congrats to you guys! I was terrified when I was pregnant with my second, my older one had been the only child and grandchild for over 6 years when the second was born. But having 2 is such a joy and watching your 2 kids together is one of the greatest things. My 2 completely adore each other. You are going to do great!
ReplyDeleteCongrats!!!! So excited for you! I'm due May 8th with baby #2...and I'm scared, excited, but scared...haha. All that newborn stuff seems so long ago now, I hope it all comes back to me. Best of luck and hope you are feeling great and have a wonderful pregnancy :) Big Hugs!
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable little movie! I just started following your blog last week, and I believe it is my favorite! You have such an awesome variety of topics and sewing, crafts, cooking, etc. LOVE IT!
