Ahhhh you guyyyyys. I can’t even handle the overwhelming love and support we got when we announced our big news yesterday! Thank you all a million times over. You made this little mama cry over here, multiple times. I can blame the hormones, right? ;)
Okay, so I won’t leave you all hanging any more and share some deets with you. I’m 3 months pregnant (or 12 weeks, because everything with babies is measured by weeks, as I’ve found out) which means I’m nearly done with the 1st trimester. I have been feeling amazing and have had very little nausea or negative side effects (all glory to God on that one- I know I’m very lucky!) I have definitely been more tired than normal (naps are the besttt) and am pretty much always hungry. I’m not showing at all, which makes it very hard to believe that I’m actually “with child” (as Zack likes to put it) but we’ve seen the little peanut in action and we even heard it’s tiny heartbeat, so I know it’s real! Coolest thing ever, by the way, when you hear that hearbeat. Ho-ly cow. That’s a whole life-changer right there. We’ve told all of our family and close friends (of course) and everyone is thrilled! And can I just say, it is such a relief to finally share this with all of you. Keeping this secret from you was just not fun. I wanted to tell the whole world, right away!! Obviously, I’m not too good with secrets.
As for this blog, it’s not going to change into a “mommy blog” or whatever. That’s just not my style. It’ll still be the same Katie Did What, with fashion and silly anecdotes and random musings, just, you know, with some baby stuff thrown in there, too. It’s only natural. And also, yeah, there will have to be some maternity fashion, I mean, that won’t be able to be stopped by a certain point. You understand. ;)
Thank you all so much for the love and kindness that you have shown us. Zack and I read every single comment and tweet and facebook message and couldn’t feel more loved right now. A huge thank you, from the bottom of our hearts. Love you all!

So excited for you two! I love reading about your style and “random musings” :)
Aw you’re so sweet!!! :) I’m glad!!

How awesome! As soon as I seen your tweet about your big news I thought to myself that you were expecting! I think pregnancy announcements are so sweet and I love reading about them. I can’t wait until we decide to start a family! You are going to be a adorable mommy to be and I’m excited to read about your pregnancy journey and further on!
But Congratulations to you and your husband!
:)
Aww thanks sweet girl!! :) We are so so excited and feeling very blessed!

My blog hasn’t changed too much either. Definitely maternity fashion now as opposed to regular fashion, but if we’re being honest about our life in our blog we have to share those details. I’m so happy for you 2. Congrats! And very happy to hear you’re feeling great!
You are so cute! I loved looking at your outfit pictures. You are absolutely glowing! :) And thank youuuu- we’re pretty stoked over here!

“with child” haha too cute & funny! When my best friend was pregnant with her child, I got to hear the heartbeat – amazing!
Yeah, my hubby’s a joker haha ;) And isn’t hearing the heartbeat the coolest thing ever?! Like, whaaat there’s a tiny person in there!!!
xo
I am so happy for you that things are going well! :) That is going to be one adorable baby.
Aww thanks so much!! I have to agree with you there ;)
xo
How exciting, seriously! And that’s awesome that you’re still feeling well!
Yes! I’m feeling very very lucky here! :)

Oh my gosh! Congrats! I’m so excited for you guys!!!!
Aww thanks Krista!! :D

Call me a witch, but for some weird reason when I looked into your girly tomboy pics I thought that you might’ve been pregnant. And when I looked into a pic where you were wearing a Peter Pan collar dress, the outfit with the purple floppy hat, the detail of “a lot of water”…etc. You looked different, I started following you earlier this year, so I noticed something different, and when a woman looks different then she’s most likely pregnant. Were you really pregnant during those times? If yes, then I AM pretty good at what I do which is market research. Either that or I know when someone is expecting. And my friends who have had babies all promise not to turn it into a Mommy Blog, but when you see the day-to-day growth of your little one, you will want to document and share with the whole world. I’m the mother of 21 month old twins and my FB and IG are plagued from the moments I was pregnant to now when they have [finally!] learned to use a fork. Congrats! Have a happy and healthy pregnancy.
haha yep, I was pregnant then! It’s so funny to me that the water gave it away!! I’m not thatttt much of a lush!! ;) I’m not even showing, but I have been gravitating toward free-flowing clothing, for some reason. Hm. Must be a psychological thing. Thanks for the congrats! We are so so so pumped!

i stumbled on your blog from HRG and wow-congrats on your newest addition! i am excited to read more about your relationship and the adorableness it looks like you manage to wear daily! :)
Awww so glad you found me!! :) You’re so sweet!

Katie I really am so happy for you. Even if this turned into a mommy blog I’d still read it. I may not know you very well but from the posts I’ve read you truly are amazing. You will make an amazing mama! I can’t wait to see your maternity fashion you are going to be so adorable since you’re so tiny as it is and then add a bump oh I’m so excited for those pictures!!! Do you think when the time comes you’ll want to know if it’s boy/girl or keep it a secret???
Again, I’m so excited for you and your hubby. You two will be amazing parents and an amazing team. Enjoy motherhood pretty lady!
xoxo
Monica, your comment absolutely made my day!! Thank you for your kind words. :) We are wanting to know the gender, so that will be revealed when the time comes! We still have a while before we can find out!

I know it’s weird that I don’t even know you but I’m SO excited for you!!! Baby news just makes me infinitely happy. I know you will be THE cutest little pregnant lady! Congratulations to you both again!!
It isn’t weird at all!!! Thank you so much, Jill! :) We are so so so excited!

KATIE! Amazing news. No matter how many baby announcements I hear, it just never gets old. Life is such an incredible miracle. Congratulations to you both, and can’t wait to watch your journey unfold :)
Thanks Katie!!! :) We are still in disbelief sometimes that this is happening!! And so so happy!

Not sure if you already read her, but Tracy from http://www.thenigottothinking.com just had her baby and is another Sacramento blogger. her baby is 5 months old actually. Thought you might enjoy reading her posts.
Katie,
I’m just now getting a chance to catch up on my favorite blog reading and I saw the little socks picture and got so excited for you!!! Congrats to you and Zach – what an amazing gift from God. I bet you guys are going to be amazing parents!!! I have been blessed with my little one who will be 2 in January and I always get so excited when others will get to share in that joy for the first time!!! Can’t wait to see how you stylishly dress your bump =)
