big news
i swear i’ve had an excuse for being MIA lately — i am so excited to finally share the news that we’re expecting a baby boy in june!!! it’s been really hard keeping this under wraps because obviously it’s completely changing my life in so many ways, so i’m reaaaaally excited to finally get it out. that and i’m also showing now, so i can’t really hide it for any longer.
its been really fun and exciting and a little scary but mostly all good and positive. i found out around halloween, i woke up and randomly had a nosebleed (which i never get), so i googled pregnancy and nosebleed and it was a thing. (i have since learned that you can literally type anything and pregnancy and it’s a thing). i took a pregnancy test that day and i was thankful that nosebleed told me to. we waited until thanksgiving to tell my family, when everyone was together. i designed place cards where everyone wrote what they were thankful for, and we had my mom read everyones out loud. mine was last and said “molly is thankful for baby boomer coming july 2017” and she burst into tears. (our due date got pushed up because the bb is a fast grower)
we were pretty anxious at first about it being healthy, maybe a little extra nervous because of the miscarriage last year. we waited almost a full year to try again, but once i was ready and we started trying it happened very, very fast.
as for my pregnancy so far, its been pretty good and i’ve been very lucky to not have any sickness, during the first trimester i was really, reeeally tired all the time and i was getting pretty bad headaches and some back pain. both have subsided for the most part, my only really annoying symptom is being congested all. the. time. and i get zits. and i’m fat. but like they tell you, the second trimester is better, and so far it’s pretty chill.
i’m now at 16 weeks and i’m officially done wearing my bullshit thongs, i am always in the mood for a HUGE, gigantic breakfast, and i pee as much as they say you’re gonna pee. i also can cry on command, and when debbie reynolds died i think i cried way more than i would’ve as a non pregnant person. we also just did our gender reveal this weekend and as expected, i cried like a big cry monster.
we’ve been thinking it was a boy pretty much from day one, so it’s so weird to finally know we were right. and to even just think of it as our son versus our baby omgggg!
the best part about getting to your second trimester is that people no longer recommend their doctor, since it’s now assumed you’ve found your doctor and you’re all set. i’m mentally preparing for the constant unsolicited advice and stranger belly touching, can’t wait.
it’s safe to assume that this blog and i will be changing, for the better i hope! i’m gonna be like, a grownup and shit now. i’m pretty good at taking care of cats but I’m already realizing how doing whatever we want whenever we want is cool and fleeting and we should try to see horror movies in the theatre and go out to eat and stay in bed all morning as much as we can right now.
i’m not planning on transforming this place into a full on mommy blog, but like if you’re into that sorta thing let me know. the first thing on our list is setting up the nursery, we’ve basically had a junk room that would someday become the nursery and now we just have to start. we’ll be moving everything out and painting as soon as possible. and then making it cute! i am v excited.
*** UPDATE *** you guys liked the gender reveal so i decided to share the pregnancy reveal (i wonder where i get the crying from lol)

Congratulations Molly! I’m so happy for you and Gideon. And the gender reveal video was the sweetest thing ever.
Congrats! Bebe Boomer will be the most fly baby around. I teared up watching the video (it’s a mama thing, not just a pregnant lady thing) . Can’t wait to see what you do for him! Boys are seriously so fun!
Oh so very happy for you both!!! My little sis is literally exactly as far along as you, 16 weeks!
And I cried watching your gender reveal video, so precious.
I’ve got two littles at home and they certainly change life, but most for the great!! 😉

Oh Molly! Those videos were too sweet! We’re so excited for you girl!!
I’m currently preggo and watching your gender reveal and announcement made me cry.
I’m in my first trimester and am envious that you didn’t have the morning sickness. But I can’t wait to see more on the blog!
Congrats to you and Gid! You will be the coolest parents!
congratulations!
k first…you are the cutest and are going to be the best mom! two…Im not pregnant and both videos made me cry. Congratulations to you both!!! so flippin exciting!
Good news
congrats! just want to warn you about due date being pushed up could mean they’ll be rushing for babe to get out earlier around the due date. most docs use due date to judge and typically don’t let you go more than a week or two past, and an earlier due date means earlier expectations for baby to come out.
Congrats! That gender reveal had me crying and I’m not even pregnant 😛 So happy for you and excited to see how your blog will change! I trust that you’ll find a good balance between “full on mommy blog” and what you’ve been doing 🙂
Congrats to you and Gideon! Your videos made me cry. I can’t wait to see how you style the nursery and baby Boomer once he gets here!
congratulations! very exciting news.
Congratulations! I can’t get over how adorable both of your “reveal” videos are (and they both totally made me cry…).
Ahhh! I’m pregnant too (just over 14 weeks with our first) and would LOVE for you to share your journey on here! Will be so fun to follow along 🙂 Congrats!
This is such amazing news!!! Congratulations!!! <3 <3 And what an absolutely perfect holiday to tell your friends and family!

I’m pregnant too, but I’m due in 3 weeks. The congestion has been KILLER. I didn’t know that was a symptom for people but my nose has been stuffed up since the 6 week mark and now that I’m in my final countdown, it’s still quite bad. I used a humidifier with peppermint essential oil for awhile but it didn’t do much. My doctor said I could take a benadryl every night. That helped to get me to sleep, but I would still wake up around 3 am with a clogged nose. At this point I just sleep with multiple pillows propped up. It hurts my already aching back but according to my OBGYN, there’s not much else I can do besides go to an ear, nose, and throat specialist. Hope your congestion settles and you don’t have to deal with it for the full 40 weeks. 🙂
So happy for you and your hubby to be blessed with this little boy.
Congrats girl!
How special to be pregnant and bring your boy home to the new beautiful home you and your hubby have made! Huge fan over here ??
I love your aesthetic, we are very alike in many ways! Thanks for the constant motivation and inspiration!
I welcomed my first son this July and it is truly a gift! Things will change but change is meant to be and you will find your new groove!
Congratulations! <3 I absolutely love the videos you shared. Your family looks so happy. It was hard not to cry for you! Good luck with your pregnancy.
