Prunes have never been on my favorite list, so it pains me {or maybe "relieves" me... so sorry.. couldn't help it} to relate this news to that, but our family does have some "prunish" news.
We're expanding.
Things are just too boring around here and there's not nearly enough laundry.
Obvioulsy neither of those things are true, but nevertheless, we are happy to announce that there's another little baby on the way!
More details are surely to come, but I've never had a baby or been pregnant with a blog {this blawg started right after Henry was born}, so I'm going to do the best I can to balance sharing/ being obnoxious with info. I will most likely just weave my big ole pregnant self into my usual stories.
I'm very aware that there are many people out there who are struggling with infertility or loss and there are also people who might not want to see my stretch marked belly. Like me. So we'll keep it light, my peeps.
But let me know what questions you have and I'll do my best to put together a list of FAQ and answers for you. Just ask in the comment section and I'll answer the best I can.
I'm excited to finally share our news!
All laundry and babysitting volunteers welcome in July... or really NOW! Who am I kidding? If you want to do laundry, you are welcome any time. I promise not to make you wash maternity unders... that's a whole new side of me that I can guarantee you won't see.

kim

Yay!!! I'm so excited for you and your family. Take it easy---Is it possible for you to take it easy and rest when you have two other littles? I don't know these things! Hope you're feeling well. I can't wait to hear all the details. Like, how did your boys react to the news?
Oh my gosh!!! I'm so excited for you! Can't wait for the pregnant details...I love that kind of thing! :)

Ashley
Congrats... What wonderful news for the new year! I know you and your family are excited!
Congratulations!!! I'm also due in July! Good luck!
So many congratulations to you & your family Hillary!
Congratulations from this family of 5!! Kiddo #3 makes a HUGE difference! There is something about watching the other 2 with #3 that is just so cute. We couldn't live without our #3. Althought my husband would tell you him/her are destined to be a stinker!
My question is: how did you tell the hubby? Also, how did you tell your parents? And, of course, how are the boys taking it?
So I guess I meant to say "My questions are:"
Congratulations Hillary! Sooo excited for you!!
I am so stinking happy for you!! How over-the-top exciting...and I'm certainly one of "those" who WON'T MIND at all to be so sick and tired of reading about your pregnancy. :)
As a mother of one, who is not likely to have anymore children - I enjoy living vicariously through others.
Your family officially goes on my prayer list now....not that I have a pregnancy requirement or anything to become an approved recipient of prayer :) - but I'm just so excited and happy for you!!
So sorry, but I am NOT interested in doing your laundry... nope, I have plenty of my own. But CONGRATS on the fabulous news!!!! YAY!!!! Plus, your kids are way too cute to stop at two!
Mrs. NB
AWESOME! so excited for you and your family and looking forward to reading all about the journey. and the stretch marks! **elle happened to see my belly the other day and said, "what happened to your belly?" to which i replied, you, grady and reese!!
What awesome news!!! Congratulations!!!!!! So excited for you!
YAY!
Congratulations, Hillary! Cannot wait for baby dunham to begin his/her life in front of all of us!!!
Love,
Hollie
Congrats!! What a blessing. Get your rest and drink lots of water. :))
Congrats!!! YAY!! I love how you worded it. It was as if you were explaining if you should keep your "full time Job" of this blog or maybe go part time or just stop work and be a stay at home mom. ha!! I think of mine as a "job" too!! I feel guilty if I slack off!! Uhm, I got the same brownie cutter as you too! ha!
Such wonderful news - you do realize man to man defense will no longer be an option! So much fun!
Yay! So happy for you guys! Can't wait to hear more about how your pregnancy is going! Hope to see you soon :)
Congrats!
9 months pregnant in the South in June and July will present some new challenges. My 1st was born on 7/29. My husband had to wear a jacket because I used to crank the A/C down to mid-60's.
Hoping for "my 3 sons" or to add a girl?
Best wishes!
Congratulations! So excited for you guys!
How awesome! Maybe you will get to weave some pink into your world...or maybe you're hoping for blue since you've done that twice already. Good luck! Can't wait to hear all of the fun pregnant stories!
congratulations!
I think there is a fine line when blogging about pregnancy since there is so much personal stuff going on...I'm sure you'll find your boundaries and I can't wait to continue reading about your journey!
Prayers for a healthy and wonderful pregnancy!
Hooray! Hooray! Congratulations!
oh my gracious!!! congrats! that is awesome! and your title truly gave you away!! hope you are feeling well!!
Congrats!!
Yay!!! Another summer preganant, huh? So excited for all of you!
Lacey and I had a hunch! :) We don't know why but we just had a hunch ;)
Oooh, congratulations! When I saw the title of the post I was hoping this would be the news, but didn't get my hopes up until I read it. So cute with the signs...
Also? July 7th? Great birthday to have. I'm just sayin'.
so excited for you! when i saw "prune" on your tweet, i was hoping it was a baby and not some other problem.
NEVER worry about talking baby too much. we don't see you everyday, so we won't get sick of it.
and if we do, we'll let you know! HA! :)
congratulations!!!
Yay! Big congrats! I feel certain that you will LUV being a party of five! Busy, but lots and lots of fun! Glad someone else is taking this year...had '04, '06, '08.....taking myself out of the game!
Can't wait to hear all the news.
So exciting! What a way to start the new year! Congrats!
Congrats!!!! I would love to have another baby, but God has decided that is not in my future. As I tell Becky, whenever you get tired of them...call me and i will come rescue you!
Congratulations! So happy for you & your family. Hope you're feeling good!
Congratulations! I read your blog as often as I can...you crack me up!
All the best with babe #3!~
Thrilled for you!
Can't wait to hang out again!
Congratulations!
Please, send your laundry. I just got a new dryer after EIGHT long months of a dryer that took THREE sycles per load to dry. I have done no less than 3 loads per day since it got here.
FOR FUN.
So yeah. Send it on over!
Congratulations! Hormonal blogging - can't wait.
congrats!! such great news and such a cute way to share it ;)
Oh my goodness!! I am so excited! Congrats! I'd love to hear all of your pregnant stories! :) Hope to see you in Bham!
oh hillary... waht a way to start the year! a great announcement! very excited for you & your famliy! the boys look so happy!! i hope that you are feeling great so far... and that your pregnancy will be uneventful :) can't wait til july!
Congrats!! Don't worry about being obnoxious...it's your blog...share frequently & share often!! I'm praying for a healthy baby...but my fingers are crossed for a little girl...I have a baby girl and firmly believe that all Daddy's need a baby girl...your husband will never be the same!
Bring on baby THREE! Third time is a charm! My number three has brought SO MUCH joy to our home. HOWEVER- BECAUSE you are such an exceptionally cute pregnant person you HAVE TO post belly pics- not stretch mark type- just general, clothed belly pics. LOVE IT! Congratulations!
Congrats to you and your family, Hillary! What wonderful news!
Yeah Hillary!! There is something in the water, cause I know is expecting or just had a baby! Congrats to you, Jason and the boys! I am so excited for y'all! I predict a baby girl to balance out all the testosterone!
~Meredith
woo hoo!! exciting stuff in the new year. can't wait to meet you at blissdom.
Yea! Congrats! Won't bore me a bit, so let's hear it all. (I'm all for the vicarious life-- my little baby will be ONE in less than 3 weeks, and not a baby. Boo-hoo. Make way for the toddler.)
Oh, and JK Rowling, Harry Potter & I all have July 31st b'days, just in case you & the little bit need something to aim for.....
Congrats!!! I wondered if something was going on with you. Seems like I haven't seen much of you around the online world in my more limited time lately. Can't wait to read more! It is sure to bring back memories since my Sam was a July baby. Enjoy this time!
Awww!! It's a day late, but CONGRATULATIONS!!!
So exciting! Now you will have a small army that can help you do your laundry. There are no laws against children doing laundry:)
Woo Hoo!!! Congrats to you, Mama!
This is my first visit (from The Nester Blissdom link up) and this was the first post of yours that I read! How fabulous for you and your family!
As for the laundry...well I can virtually help you with that. Tee hee!
-Lauren
(Mama Laundry)
This is great news-- Sonia and Lacey told me at lunch--- three make life interesting
Congrats!!!!
Hooray! Congratulations, Hillary! What wonderful news!!! Although, you're about the 10th person I know to announce that they're preggers and due in June/July, and all of you have made me SERIOUSLY crave another baby! We may have to jump on the bandwagon soon. :) I hope that you're feeling well and can't wait to hear what you're having. Will you be finding out early? Oh, and I also got the PW cookbook for Christmas and I LOVE it!! How great that you got one autographed for a gift! Have a great week!
Heather
*whew* I'm only 2 days late on a big CONGRATS!
Yay! :)
Congrats girl.... ((hugs)) July is the perfect month!! Hot, sticky, and swelling is to be expected!!
Hillary,
Oh how wonderful! I can't wait to see your pregnant self at Blissdom. Only a month away, I can't believe it.
Hugs,
edie
I can't believe I almost missed the announcement! I am in Phoenix for our company's leadership conference, so have been off of the blog reading as I prepared for it last week. They are all off to the zoo for a scavenger hunt so I had a 3 hour break to chill. Thank goodness for the feed list or I would have missed this! I am THRILLED for you!!!!
I have the same questions as Mary @ giving up on perfect. do tell (and if you answered them in a post after this one...I'll probably catch up soon :-D
Congratulations to you,Jason and the boys! The boys are precious and I'm sure Baby #3 will be just as sweet! I love your blog. You are so creative. Best of Luck!
CONGRATS Hillary! Three is ... um... fun... ?? (you'll find yourself convinving yourself of this too) Now, seriously, our third has been a blessing and the sweetest yet! You're such a great mama to two and you will be to three as well. Btw, hope it's a girl!
Obviously I have been hiding under a rock. I completely missed this post and didn't find it until you posted about eating fried pickles!!!!! I am so excited for you. Congrats on the third addition to your family. And I have a secret.....When they (who ever they are) tell you that having three is pretty much like having two..... THEY ARE LYING!!!!! But so far, my third had been my easiest one!! Guess it does get easier. We will keep our fingers and toes crossed that it is a girl...unless you would rather three boys. Congrats again.

I'd hug you, but this screen makes it a little awkward.
