70 day's left! Oh Baaaaby!

As you may have heard, Dusty and I are expecting our first baby together (second in general) at the end of this coming September. We are very excited but of course have our concerns and worries as every expecting parent would. I thought I would spend some of my quiet time while Noah is sleeping to answer some of the questions I have been asked since the news came out:



1. Did you plan this? No, but this is a welcomed surprise. Before the end of the year we are going to have a baby!!

2. Are you going to move up the wedding? Nope, our wedding is set, we moved it more than I already would have liked and it is just a couple months away now. I may have to get my dress let out a little before the wedding to accommodate the newly showing baby bump but hey, it is one guest I don't have to pay for, right?

3. Are you hoping for a girl or a boy? Honestly, I don't know so it is a good think it is not up to me! I can't wait to find out!! And yes, we will find out as soon as we can!

4. Any names picked out? Yes, if it is a boy right now we are planning Oliver and if it is a girl it will be Mara.

5. Are you going to change your wedding registry for baby stuff? No, our wedding is an amazing, important, life changing event that will be celebrated on it's own. No baby stuff allowed on the big day, that is why we will not make our babies r us registry until after the wedding even though we have some things picked out already

6. When are you due? Estimated Due Date is September 26th.

7. What about Noah? What about him? Noah knows that there is a baby in my belly that is very tiny right now. He is not unfamiliar with babies in bellies as his mom is having a little girl in April! He is exited to meet his baby sister and he requested that we get him a baby brother.

8. Why did you announce it so early, don't you know you can still lose it? Probably my least favorite intrusion question. We announced our baby to the world after many home tests and confirmation by our doctor. I am well aware that many people in the world have lost babies early in their pregnancy and often wait but I also know that some people lose babies as late as their delivery date. Instead of focusing on the bad we are staying positive. We are not naive and will deal with the heartbreak should it happen but for now we are planning how to re-arrange our bedroom to fit the baby stuff, how we are going to decorate and what the best way to make a superhero nursery is (my idea not Dusty's, btw). So while I appreciate your concern, I don't need to know how your sister's friend's aunt miscarried right after telling someone, trust me...I know.


That's all for now, if you have any other questions please feel free to ask.  My little 6 weeks along Pea and I are going to prepare for some scooter and remote control car time with Noah before we watch Monster's University for the millionth time.

Love you all

3 months to go

"Dianna, you're like my mommy sometimes. I love you."

Made this girl cry like a baby. My Noah said this completely unprompted just a few moments ago and my heart melted.

Hope you are following my 100 day picture countdown on Facebook <3
