baby bump maggie whitley

baby bump maggie whitley

…begins now! Zack and I are beyond ecstatic to share that our family is growing and come October we’ll be holding a newborn baby. Yesterday was a very special Mother’s Day for our family as we anticipate a baby boy or baby girl, due to arrive late October. We didn’t find out Maxwell’s gender until he was born and we are doing the same with this babe. So exciting! I’ll be 16 weeks on Wednesday. Thank you for celebrating with our family! xoxo ((girl screams))

    Hi Maggie!

    We are expecting October 1st. This will be my first child and my husband’s third. At the time you were blogging about your pregnancy with Maxwell, I suffered 2 early miscarriages so I am excited to experience this time along with you! My new week date is also Wednesday.

    Keep the helpful posts coming especially those about maternity clothes & how to remain fabulously cute!

    Is it weird that I’ve got tears of happiness for a woman that I barely even know through the internet who doesn’t know me but I’ve followed the blog and have a Gussy pouch and placed a Caroline Made order within the first week of the launch and plus I just love celebrating new life?

    Either way, CONGRATULATIONS to your sweet family! A big YAYS from over here in Korea!
