My Ultimate DIY Project

by Lindsay Ballard on February 2, 2010 132 Comments

You may have noticed a lack of big DIY projects on my blog over the last few months. No Britney Spears coffee tables. No ugly purple desks. No painting huge laminate armoires.

Lately, I’ve just felt sick. And tired. And sick and tired of being sick and tired. But, I have a good reason why.

I am now able to joyously announce that Zack’s biggest wish has come true. He is finally going to be a big brother.

As you can imagine, we are simply over the moon that we’ll have a second little one joining us in August. I think this is the one ultimate DIY project that doesn’t need a tutorial.

Zack is absolutely over the moon. He is so excited about “his” baby and wears his brother-to-be tee every single day. I actually had to buy him a second one, because I was getting tired of washing it every night.

He has grand plans of “baby brother” sleeping with him in his bed as soon as he’s born. It’s too early for us to know the sex of the baby, but Zack and I are both 100% convinced (and super excited) that it will be another boy. My husband, Tom, isn’t making any predictions. He’s no fun!

I’m at the end of my first trimester, and we’ve had our 12 week scan to make sure everything is looking good. I’m hoping that I will be back to my energetic, DIY self in the next few weeks.

We can’t wait to meet you, Baby B!

I want to give a huge thanks to my long-time friend JJ of The BLAH BLAH BLAHger and Jen Johnson Photography. I took these photos of Zack and she waved her magic editing wand on them (all while keeping my pregnancy a secret). I love you, Jen!

I also ordered his shirt from Zoey’s Attic. It’s so adorable that I know that some of you would be asking. I can’t wait to order matching Big/Little tees once the baby gets here.

    Looking forward to some nursery posts!

    Congrats. That is adorable big brother being so proud and excited. I "trained" my son to help his little sister out (hold her hand across the street with me, keep her from going up the stairs, etc.) and they were/are inseperable. It makes my heart go pitter patter to see them hold hands across the street still and it's 6 years later! Aw, the love.

I JUST found out this week that I'm pregnant as well with #2 and it is killing me to wait til next week! (I'm making V-Day cards to send to family. Except I'm doing something baby-themed on the outside, then inside will write something like "Oops, we must have forgotten it's Valentine's Day. We have baby on the brain!" and then including a picture of the pregnancy test.)

    Congratulations!! Very exciting! Will you find out the sex of the baby? My new dining room table arrived today and I was trying to remember if it was your website that had the mossy letters hanging on the back of your kitchen chairs? I know you're busy, so I'll look around on my own for it! love your site! (wwww.djcannon.blogspot.com)

    I read your bog this morning and promptly went and ordered two of those shirts for two of my grandkids that have a sibling on the way. Then I just found out this afternoon that my other daughter is having a third child too! I guess I had better go order a couple more! Yikes! I will have 6 grandkids by the time I turn 50! Thanks so much for sharing – your son is adorable and congrats!

    Congratulations Lindsay!! We have a 5 year old boy and after 4 years of trying, we found out at Christmas that we were pregnant with blessing #2…also due in August. My 5 year old son sounds like your Zack, he has been praying for a baby brother/sister for a long time and is VERY excited! I will have to order him one of those adorable shirts. I hope you start feeling better soon…and by the way, I love your blog!
