Well, the cat's out of the bag. Andy couldn't contain himself any longer and has started telling people about our news. Yes, I am pregnant. 15 weeks to be exact and finally feeling better after a trimester of doing nothing much besides laying on the couch and puking my guts out. After getting so intimate with our porcelain thrones, I realized that I need to clean my bathrooms more often. The wretched sickness also temporarily cured my chocoholism and replaced it with an insatiable urge for salty, greasy foods. About six weeks ago, I made Andy take me to Pei Wei for dinner because I couldn't stop thinking about their noodle bowls for a week. Oh, the tyranny of pregnancy cravings.We are very grateful to be expecting an addition to our family. After a miscarriage, year and a half of trying, an infertility consultation, and taking a round of Clomid while I was unknowingly pregnant, it's a relief to not have to worry about buying any more ovulation kits. The official due date is August 27.
Note: The horrible picture above is of me a week overdue with Ben in 100+ degree Arizona weather. It's the only one I had that showed how absolutely gargantuan my belly will get.

Hooray! Can I also say that if I had any photoshop skills I would get a big picture of Ben and put his huge face on that belly of yours. Just imagine that visual splendor! I could start a business of specialy photos like that. You saw it here first folks.
Yeah for you Nollie and Andy! I'm glad the cat is finally out of the bag!
Nollie, hooray! I'm so thrilled for you. Before reading the post, I looked at the picture and thought, "How can she be that pregnant?! I swear there are recent pics on here where she doesn't look pregnant at all." Glad to know you're not that big yet and that you're feeling better. This is such great news!

I had no idea! I must say there have been a few times in the past few months when you have referenced just "laying low" lately or "hanging at home," and it's all coming together now. How wonderful.
I must honestly say on Sunday I had my suspicions for some reason. You must be glowing even more than usual. I am so happy for you and so glad you are out of that nasty first trimester.
Huzzah! I must say, I was waiting for a post of this nature to appear. Can't wait for baby #2/visiting you in your preggo splendor!
Congratulations! First of all, i also thought that was supposed to be a picture of you at 15 weeks and i'm like, "WHAT?" But honestly, you do NOT look huge and overdue in that picture, so i have no idea what you're talking about. If that is only as big as you get, that is fabulous! Glad you're feeling better-- that first trimester stuff is seriously NO GOOD.
SO happy for you guys. Love it.
Hi Nollie and Andy! I check your blog every month or two (saw a link from Rachel Von....) and today just happened to be the day!!! Congrads! Your little boy is cute and no doubt this one will be likewise! (I'm glad the picture is not of you at the current time! You are way to big to be just 15 weeks!)
Hi Nollie and Andy,
I check your blog every month or two (from a link on Rachel Von...)and today happened to be the day! Congrads on the upcoming baby! That is so exciting! I can only imagine how amazing any kids of yours are. (BTW, your little guy is very cute and smart.) You are a very impactful family. (I think I just made up that word:)
Congrats! I am so excited you for guys!! I hope you start feeling better. PS you look great in the pix.
Just checked on your blog today, and so glad I did! Congrats on the pregnancy!! I'm glad that you're feeling better after the first tri, and also glad that you aren't showing as much right now at 15 w as your post pic. You had me going! I thought, "cats out of the bag? Yes i think so!" Ha ha!"
Anyway, congrats. I had no idea of your long stretch of trying, sorry to hear that, and how wonderful now! Ben will be a cute big brother and so helpful! Good luck Nollie!
Yay! Congratulations you guys! I'm so happy you're starting to feel better. Isn't it always the way that the husbands just can't keep it in? ha ha.
Nollie, I am so happy for you guys!! I laughed all through our posting totally relating to it all! I am tree weeks behind you and glad to hear there might just be an end to this!! Congrats Again!!
congrats, nollie! when i read your post about "the bear snores on", i told ben that i thought you were pregnant...with nothing else to go on. i just know there is no tired like there is the first trimester! i am glad that one is over and hope you are feeling great! i am so excited for you!:)
Congrats, Nollie! I am so happy for you guys. Glad to hear that you are feeling better.. that first trimester is so rough! If you are ever feeling sick again please bring Ben over to play with Aiden! :)
Yay! I had my suspicions but know NEVER to ask. Congrats and ditto what Monica said. We can watch Ben when you need!
First of all, I can't believe that pic is of you OVERDUE!!! That is what I look like at 15 weeks!
congrats! Having a hard time getting pregnant is not a fun thing to endure at all, but it does make puking that much more enjoyable.
Oh Nollie! I am so excited for you! I have been wanting to ask how things were going for you with the Clomid but you know how that is! Congratulations!!!
So let me get this straight, you are saying the goalie has been pulled, your eggo is preggo, you're up the spout, there's a bun in your oven, you're knocked up, with child, preggers, and eating for two? Hooray!
P.S. Tell your baby daddy congrats for me.
P.P.S That picture of you is probably just a food baby. Are you sure you didn't just have a big lunch?
Yea! It's out! I'm tho exthited!! I think it's a girl :). Can't wait to hear for sure in the upcoming weeks!
p.s. Madi said yesterday, "Ben is my friend who moved to Ohio. I miss him." or something like that. I can't believe she still remembers him!
Congrats! Glad to hear your official announcement, because I've been wanting to ask you since December but I thought I should wait. What I can't wait for is to see that little baby!!!
Yay! Congratualtions, Nollie! I am SO happy for you guys! Seriously, you should play the Pei Wei card the entire pregnancy. Or just get take out and curl up with the Twilight series. :)haha. Sorry you have been so sick but glad to hear you are feeling better.
Congratulations! I'm glad you're feeling better now. Can't wait to hear more.
YAY! Congratulations! Our little one will only be a few weeks older than yours. I am so happy for you guys. Hope you keep feeling better. Pregnancy does do crazy things, I couldn't stand chocolate chip cookies for my first trimester, whoever thought that could happen?
So happy for you! Can't wait to meet the next Haws family member! You should have told us you were trying to have another one, we could have lent you our old air mattress. We hear it has special reproductive powers! : )
Congrats, Nollie! That is great news.
Congrats! We are so excited for you! Ben will be such a great big brother!
YAHOO!!!! Congratulations!!! We are so happy for you both. I am glad you are feeling better. You look ADORABLE pregnant (even at one week over due).
Hooray! Congratulations. I hope it's a girl. And I can't believe that pic was you with a 10 pounder. You really did look great. Glad to hear you're over the worst part of the sickness.
Congrats you guys! We are in going through what you guys went through, and am glad to hear a success story!
oh Nollie, so exciting!! I too had my suspicions, and I almost asked you at Chick-fila the other day, but just thought I should keep quiet. Anyway, I'm so happy for you guys!
HOOOOORAY! YAHOOO! That's great news! How exciting. I'm so sorry to hear you've been puking your guts out. I'm so relieved for you that you're over that nightmare. I'm thrilled for you! :)
Congratulations! I just stumbled across your blog through a mutual friends, and I am so excited for you guys!
Nollie - I occasionally check in on your blog - CONGRATULATIONS!!! This is so exciting!!! I was relieved to see that this photo was not of you 15 weeks pregnant though!!!! Please keep us posted w/ the pregnancy - I wish you the best of health and and easy transition as a mommy of two! Take care ;) - Mary
Congrats! Good thing I read till the end b/c I thought that pic. was of you at 15 weeks. Too bad, it did make me feel a little better about myself for a while. We are also expecting a boy in 9 weeks. I totally know about the sickness I was sick with this one until week 20, no fun. But anything is worth a sweet little baby!
