Anyone else a YHL blog reader? I just saw today's post that they are expecting again. For some reason, this just made me giddy! I am interested to see how they handle all that they do with a newborn and a toddler at home!

Aww! I am excited and scared for them... Clara's birth was crazy! I hope she has a very smooth, uneventful pregnancy and L&D this time around. I can't wait to see nursery #2

I'm so, so excited for them and hope that they don't have the same complications as last time!

I am so excited! I knew it'd be soon because they kept referring to the other bedroom as "guest bedroom/future nursery" instead of "guest bedroom" or whatever it is.
Woop!
Can't wait to see their nursery.

OMG, this makes me so happy!!!! I LOVE them and have been waiting for them to have another baby!!!
I just hope she has a better birth experience for baby #2 than she did for baby #1!!!

Aw good for them!! I may have been inspired by their name choice for my little C

Aw, I can't get to their site to see the announcement! But just reading your post made me tear up a little (pregnancy emotions!). They seem like such a nice, normal family. I'm so excited for them!

@twodoghouse: I teared up too, and I can't even blame it on pregnancy hormones. Maybe mother hormones??
I am also curious about if it'll be a b/g, what they'll name it, and how they'll decorate the nursery!
Also hoping for a smooth pregnancy and L&D for them, they definitely deserve it.

Happy and nervous! Hope the delivery is as normal as possible.

@bunnymommy: YHL is a DIY home improvement blog called "Young House Love." It's pretty popular, they even had a book come out last year and also just appeared on Oprah's Super Soul Sunday. Pretty insane how popular they have become. It's an awesome blog and the couple who runs it are really cool. They have one daughter already and it was a traumatic L&D when she was born with a placental abruption and cord prolapse.

@MrsTiz: Welllll to be fair, they've been saying that for YEARS
I'm thrilled. There was a thing recently about how a full-length side-profile picture of her had been obviously photoshopped to be very flat, and I figured it was to cover a baby bump until they were ready to share. She's petite and said she showed super early with Clara.
Her and KB must be so excited to be pregnant again together!
Anyway, best of luck to them all!

@lovehoneybee: Wow I didn't think about that but yes, I guess they are due around the same time. I am waiting for KB to announce the sex!

How exciting for them! I agree that she deserves an uneventful birth and hope everything goes super smooth for them!

@lovehoneybee: maybe they've been trying for years? Who's KB?
cantaloupe / 6800 posts
@lovehoneybee: Shh shh, let me feel like I knew. Is this the pic you are talking about??
@mediagirl: If I remember correctly they were under orders to wait 2(?) years after Clara was born since she had a dramatic delivery.. KB is Katie Bower from Bower Power, they're BFF's and Katie is pregnant too! They had their first LO's a few months apart and Katie had one in between those two.

@lovehoneybee: I suspected it was to cover a baby bump too.
I'm excited for them!

@MrsTiz: thanks for posting! i was digging to find it!
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@mediagirl: Possibly, although because of the circumstances of Clara's birth they were told to wait for 2 years to even try again (man, I feel like a creepy fan!). They have a ton of fans who have been very "OMG ARE YOU PREGNANT YET?" (causing them to write posts about things like The State of My Uterus) and I imagine that in their shoes, even if they weren't trying/decided Clara's birth was too traumatic to even have another kid (which I would totally understand) they'd still want to dangle that possibility to the fans. Hence, always calling the spare room "the maybe future nursery" -my two cents.
Anyway, I've been less than impressed with the work (or lack there of) they've done on their new house, and being pregnant and in the first trimester is definitely a legit reason.
KB is Katie Bower of The Bower Power Blog, aka Sherry's real-life BFF.
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@MrsTiz: Yep, that's the one! And there was another one from her IG...she's at a kitchen counter in a show house. And one where she's on the couch where her stomach looks oddly pixelated.
*Not a crazy fan-girl, I swear!*

@sunshineandsushi: ahh!! I have to read it.
I read yesterday's blog about making wreath's and she mentioned having chocolate cravings... Which then made me wonder if she was expecting!
Yay! I'm going to go read their blog now.

@lovehoneybee: I agree! I was really liking what they were doing with the sunroom until they put up the beadboard ceiling. I really feel like they should have made the boards vertical! I feel bad even admitting this, but I kind of hate Clara's big girl room, and the white wash in the living room looks horrible. I'm excited to see what they do with the kitchen/nursery though!

@lovehoneybee: I haven't been impressed with them lately either, so finally a reason for the lack of work on H3!
blogger / pomelo / 5400 posts
Ah, happy for them. Interested to see how this impacts content! It has felt a bit lackluster lately, but I can't blame them if she's been sick.

I read their blog and am excited to see another nursery from tbem soon.

@lovehoneybee: is this the photo you are talking about?
hostess / wonderful apple seed / 16729 posts
Now, I wonder if Clara wanted to be a cupcake or pretend to be pregnant in this photo.
GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts
@bluestriped bee: Haha yes! That line down her midsection is just too straight!

@lovehoneybee: @bluestriped bee: apparently they address the photoshop question here: http://www.younghouselove.com/2013/09/blogiversary-6-a-day-in-the-life-2/comment-page-5/#comment-1627479
Craziness!

@sunshineandsushi: Wow ! I had no idea they were harrassed so much about it!

@T.H.O.U.: I know! I am amazed at how they handle such intrusive, rude comments. I definitely couldn't put up with it. I wouldn't have any readers after how I would respond, haha.
wonderful clementine / 24134 posts
@sunshineandsushi: The crazy thing is that they also manually approve those comments. Can you imagine how many more they may get that never show up on the page?
pineapple / 12053 posts
yay for them! i just watched their oprah clip and it made me like them so much more. i'm not always into their new DIYs, but their first house was so great and they are so detail oriented that i know once we buy a house, i'm going to refer to their tutorials!
persimmon / 1165 posts
@T.H.O.U.: yeah, I thought about that too. I wondered why they didn't just nix those comments, but I guess then people would be up in arms about them filtering comments, etc. And they probably had more than that come through on the same topic.
