eight years, five people, three babies and my one really big crush.
December 16, 2008
Eight years ago today was the best day of my life up to that point. I got to marry the man of my dreams! Tall, dark and handsome. Spontaneous and full of energy. Smart and ambitious. Wildly talented. A man convinced that love makes it all better. Hilariously funny. Deeply concerned about my own happiness and willing to take the longest ride of his life. So far, it has been nothing but WONDER.FULL! I am crazy about you BABE! It just keeps getting better!
Today, We got the best anniversary present. I got to hear the heartbeat of the littlest member of our family. YES!!!! WE ARE HAVING A BABY THIS SUMMER (I am 12 weeks along) and it has been the hardest secret to keep: especially to those that know me. I have been one big ball of yucky since September! I actually was pregnant in early September, and then miscarried, only to get pregnant immediately after, which essentially added an extra month to what I have classified as full-blown-yucky-land. Morning, noon and night of hovering over the toilet. Thankfully, I am starting to feel better and now I am really starting to show. (Ok, in actuality, I was showing since day one…as this is baby #3, my belly doesn’t stay little anymore…as you can clearly see in the picture above!)
But all is well and we are THRILLED to be adding a new addition to the family!!! Addie and Ian are thrilled, and talk to my belly constantly. I absolutely love that they can be apart of this! Addie and Ian are 12 months apart, so Addie was not even aware of Ian coming…which was just fine! I had enough concern for both of us! But now, the two of them actually get to be part of this whole process, and I love it! Addie even got to hold the stethoscope!
We are still in the throws of moving. I will hopefully have pictures soon of our new place. Right now we have no phone, TV or internet and I am actually loving it. Like, REALLY loving it. It makes my world smaller, but more full. I nearly feel like we live in a cabin away from it all. And what a better way to celebrate an anniversary. And a new heartbeat. And Christmas. And life.
Happy holidays to all! Enjoy your family time! Can’t say when I will be in again…Internet will be out for a while. In the mean time, I am reading some REALLY great novels…between cat naps of course! Baby on board makes mama pretty sleepy these days:)
xoxo

congratulations sarah! i wish you the best in everything.
congrats! what a wonderful anniversary/xmas present!
fabulous news, and congrats on both events!
Oh congratulations!! How exciting that there is going to be a new addition to the family.
I just celebrated my one year anniversary yesterday – time is flying. 
Happy Anniversary! I’m excited to meet the next little one. Addie and Ian are so much fun it will be great to see the personality of the third and how they fit in.
Congratulations on both counts! and don’t be silly about belly talk, you’re beautiful! I adore that picture!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! Happy anniversary to you and Kenneth and congrats to your family. I’m just thrilled for all of you.
soo happy for you!
That’s the best news! And I can totally relate to that long road with being sick forever and ever with numerous miscarriages…it really draws out pregnancy forever and makes it all not so much fun. But now you’ll get your baby and it’s worth all the puking right? Congratulations!
Congrats, Sarah. What a great Christmas Gift for you & yours:)
Congratulations! I so appreciate how much you love and respect your family!
congratulations, sarah jane! that is wonderful news!! hope you’re over the yuckies soon.
Yay! I love you both. Let’s get together soon once things have settled for you!
Happy Anniversary! and….
Congratulations on the new addition!! I truly hope that you’ll soon be feeling better and out of the yucky-ness.
Congratulations to you!!
From one Mommy who gets extremely nauseous to another, I sincerely hope the pukes go away SOON!
Hooray! Glad you’re starting to feel better. Moving while pregnant is no fun (yes, I did it twice). Hope the move goes smoothly and you get settled and have lots of time to unwind
hopefully you’ve had lots of yummy gingerbread.
ginger helps curb nausea… (i said helps, not cures, ha!) sooooo glad you are out of the 1st trimester & getting over the yucks!
congrats on hearing the heartbeat today.
and happy anniversary!
Congratulations!! A new baby is always wonderful news! I was sick for 8 months with mine- yuck! Today is also mine and my husband’s 8 year anniversary, it’s such a small world! So, happy anniversary to you too!

Congratulations! Lovely news – I hope you can leave yucky-land very soon! Happy moving and Merry Christmas.
Congratulations!!!! That is so exciting. I’m so sorry about not feeling good – I hope you feel better soon!
I knew it!!! I had a feeling but didn’t want to say anything last time I saw you. I am so excited for you! I can’t wait to talk. Call me when your in DC and we can play with the kids.
Wonderful!!! Happy and healthy 9 months!!
Congratulations Sarah. Best of luck for everything!
So happy to have found this charming blog and your shop!
Congratulations! I am so happy for you. Also, we could have twin lives. I miscarried and got pregnant again immediately with my 3rd baby which does make for a really long pregnancy, and I have moved twice when I was pregnant so, many sympathies and you are amazing. I hope everything goes well.
Rest well !
Happy Anniversary Sarah Janey! Love you all!!!
When I read your title I thought: does she mean 2 babies and Sarah Jane Studios (since that is kinda like your 3rd), or would she mean something else? I’m so happy for you and Kenneth!!! So exciting!
Kenneth and I celebrated our 9th anniversary on the 10th. I got nice presents too (Twilight and New Moon – I’ve already finished both), but somewhere my heart wishes that there would be just one more little present…
