So...I've Been Hiding Something From You

I'm not gonna beat around the bush today because, well, I've been waiting to share this news for as long as Taylor Swift has been singing about her lame ex-boyfriends. (Sorry Taylor. But it's true.) Ok so maybe that's me being a little dramatic but I've felt like I've been holding this in for-ev-errr. Alas, I have been given the go-ahead to shout it from the rooftops so shout it from the rooftops I shall do...

aaaand GO.

I'm gonna be an AUNT!!

And you know what's better than being just a regular ol' aunt?

Being and aunt TIMES THREE!
 
'Tis true mah good friends...my beautiful sister-in-law (Beau's sis) is with child...
errrr-THREE child(s)!!!!

TRIPLETS, y'all!

You know what that means?!
Three times the poopy diapers. 
Three times the midnight feedings.
Three times the sleepless nights.
Three times the cries and quivering lips.

But then again...it's three times the tiny onesies.
Three times the itty bitty toes.
Three times the everlasting love.
Three times the heartfelt joy for Julie and her husby, Brian! (And me, of course!)

Talk about the best Christmas present...EVER...and they're not even mine! 
(Even better, right?!)

You know what this also means?! Beau and I are totally off the hook for a few years, if ya know what I mean!! Hell yes.

While Julie's little body is about to go through a lot over these next 5ish months or so, the babies are doing just fine so far and other than all-day-sickness (poor thing!), our little momma is doing well, too!

Meet the entourage:
Makes my heart go pittah pattah!

The little bambinos are 12 weeks old and are actually a little bit ahead of schedule! {Grow babies GROW!!} Julie has heard strong heartbeats from all 3 and should find out in the next couple of weeks how many of these nuggets are boys and how many are girls!! (Fingers crossed for a mixture of both!) They are so loved already!!

Ahhh! Let the triplet spoiling begin!

So there.

No more secrets.

Please keep Julie & Brian in your thoughts and prayers as they endure many new changes over the next few months. Oh! And if you would, head on over to her blog and leave her some love, would ya?! (Yep! She's been sucked into this blogging world, too!) I know it will be much appreciated it!

This is going to be so. much. fun.
I can already tell!

  18. I can't lie I was hoping for this news to be coming from you but it's okay we will all wait patiently for little Beau's. I once dreamed of having triplets when I was about eight. Then I grew up and realize that it would be a whole heck of a lot of work but still even more of a heck of a lot of cuteness to go around. Congratulations to you and the sis-in law!!

    1. HAHAHA well now that we're off the hook for a while, little Beau's won't be making their debut for another year or so. ;) Oh gosh, girl-as fun/exciting as it looks, I don't think I could handle triplets. I mean, I don't even know how I'm going to handle ONE baby on my own lol. Thank you sweet girl!! xoxo

  51. I'm a new follower. I just had to comment on this post because I have TRIPLET brothers. They are in their 20s now, but they are so so much fun!

    I linked up to your latest pinned it. did it. linky. Love finding other southern girl blogs who love DIY as much as I do. I read your post too on being a mom. I wrote a really useful blog post about all the things they don't tell you (and best products to buy) under the label "mom stuff" check it out, I promise it will help!
