guess what guess what guess what!

October 21, 2020

Hey you guys!! I have some BIG BIG BIG news!!!!!

I’M PREGNANT!

Yes! We are expecting our very first baby!

We actually found out back on Josh’s birthday in July. (Talk about a great 30th birthday present, right!?) We tried for 1 year and 2 months to get pregnant. It was a hard year of waiting, and disappointment. But we just had to have faith that it would happen and FINALLY, IT DID!

I’m 16 weeks now, a little over 4 months. (This ultra-sound was from our 12 week appointment). I’m due on March 11th.

We find out if we’re having a boy or a girl in less than 4 weeks! RIGHT BEFORE I leave for Orlando! So yes, these two Disney trips in October will be be totally Thrill-Ride-Free for me! I’ll have to content myself with Small World and the likes! HAHA But that’s TOTALLY fine by me!!!

We actually just had our 16 week appointment this morning and all is well! They said everything looks great. We got to hear the heart beat, which is always amazing!

I do get SUPER tired and my bed time has bumped way up. Josh and I used to be total night-owls and were very rarely asleep before midnight. Now its rare if we’re not in bed around 10:00. And I do have to take little naps here and there. My energy has been way down.

BUT – I haven’t had any morning sickness or anything like that. I get a little bit of a stomach ache at night sometimes, but its nothing bad (I’m pretty sure its just gas). I’ve been VERY lucky. I get it from my mom. She wasn’t ever sick with her babies either.

If you can’t tell we’re just a little excited! And I’m so happy I can finally tell you all! It’s been really hard keeping the secret!

And, yes, you can probably expect a few new “baby” products from Britt-ish Designs in the next 5 months of my pregnancy! HAHA!! I’m sure I won’t be able to help myself.

So – that’s my big news. Probably the biggest news I’ve ever shared on my blog before. Pretty cool!

Have an amazing day!!!!

    Congrats to you both!!! I was 20 weeks when we were at Disney in 2008 and there's definitely enough to keep you entertained anyway 🙂 Disney even handed out roses to the mommas on Mothers' Day and we had Mother's Day brunch at Crystal Palace with Pooh & the gang. Many future amazing memories await 🙂 H&H pregnancy wishes for you!

    You know I'm beyond excited for you two! Wouldn't it be awesome if you had a girl. Then our girls could grow up to be just as good of friends as we are 🙂

    BRITTNEY! I'm so so excited for you. That is about EXACTLY how long it took me to get pregnant with my 1 valid pregnancy. I've been pregnant 2 other times, but both miscarriages. And…. I'm on the waiting game again, since February. It's super frustrating, I know exactly how it must've been for you. So I'm SUPER stoked for you… you will be SUCH A cute cute mommy and I can't wait to hear what you're having!!!! YAY! 🙂

    congrats Britteny & Josh!!! That first trimester is SOOO hard. Maybe a in a few years you'll stop feeling so tired – LOL. My twins are five and I still feel tired although my brain isn't as mushy as it was during that first trimester. Take it easy and enjoy this time…the memories truly do fade away.

    Congratulations! This is such an exciting time for both of you. Now you can start saving for those family disney trips:) Hmmm, I wonder, will it be princess costumes or swords in your future? Blessings for a happy, healthy baby!

    Congratulations!! That is very exciting news. When I was pregnant with my first my husband & I established the "10:00 rule" in bed every night by 10. Didn't work so well with the second though!

  23. sleepingbean

    I feel silly getting teary eyed after reading this as you are technically a stranger, but after following your blog, your positive energy, reading your book recommendations, I guess I feel like a friend to some degree and I can honestly say I wish you and your Mr the most happiness and laughter. Just think of the many great scrappin' moments ahead! Lots of love to your family ~

    Congratulations to you and Josh! So very exciting. Just be careful not to overheat in Disney if its warm.Its so much easier to overheat when you are pregnant, not to mention being more sensative to sunlight so bring the 100spf sunblock. Can't wait to see you in Oct.

    OK, I don't even know you but I feel like I do and I'm SO excited for you and Josh!! It took my husband and I 7 years to conceive our son so I know the joy you must feel. Congrats! I'm going to be at Disney the same week you're there and I so wish I could meet up with everyone at the Italian restaurant just to give you a hug. Congratulations again!

    Congrats Britt. I am happy everything is working out for you! Waiting a year is so hard! I had to wait for seven years the second time. I pray for health and happiness for the three of you!

  116. sarah @ life {sweet} life

    Congrats!! I am SO excited for you!! I just watched your video and it made me cry. Your mom's reaction was priceless! I just had my miracle baby in May and it was about this time last year I shared the news with my family by wearing a t-shirt. They reacted the same way – such special memories! Congrats again – you will absolutely love being a mommy!! 🙂
    P.S. LOVE your designs – a long time fan but never comment – sorry. 🙂

    Congrats! It is definitely a hard secret to keep. LOL! Great picture of you two holding the pregnancy test… very creative. I will definitely look forward to a baby kit since we are expecting my Bro-in-law's 1st child at the end of this week and my Sis-in-law's 2nd at the beginning of December (so I will need some cute kits to scrap their babies). Great, great, great news!
