Mr. Hungry and I are expecting one Hungry Baby this October and we are BEYOND thrilled! I started keeping secret blogs about how pregnancy was going (tired, tired, tired) from week to week around 8 weeks, so I’ll have first trimester recaps to share with you soon! Not sure how often I will share updates. I have a lot to catch you guys up on, but after that probably only every couple of weeks.
I always kind of thought it was weird when people used their dog to announce a pregnancy but here I am doing it. I knew I could not wait one more minute to announce, but I also hadn’t thought once about what photos I would share to announce with. So here I am using Nala to help me announce our pregnancy to the world. She is our youngest child so I guess it’s appropriate, I wish I could get Missy to wear a sign that said: “at least it’s not another dog”. Now that would be funny!
We do not know if it’s a boy or girl YET, we are scheduled to find out at the end of May which seems like FOREVER away. Almost as far away as October! ha ha
Comment if you have any other questions about Hungry Baby or me so I can answer them in a follow-up post!
On the flip side of the equation, I remember after our loss every single pregnancy announcement (there seem to be a million of them at New Years) was extremely extremely EXTREMELY difficult. If you need to take a break from Hungry Hobby for a while, I TOTALLY understand. Or if you need to just skip those posts, please do it. Please take care of yourself above all else, HH will be here when/if you are ready. My heart is with you.

As soon as I saw your post title I just knew! Congratulations!!! 🙂 I’ve been thinking about you, especially after you had posted about your previous loss.
October babies are awesome! My daughter’s birthday is on the 22nd, and it especially helps that Fall is my favorite season. 🙂

Thanks, Jaime that is very sweet of you! My Mom’s Birthday is the 23rd so she is excited ha ha! Yes, the Fall season is wonderful in Arizona it’s like a cooler summer, but I’ll take it!

A little better every day! Thanks!
Pam Hesse says
Congratulations Kelli and Mr. Hungry! I am beyond excited for you. I’ll be sending good juju your way and looking forward to your posts. Out of 6 pregnancies, I have 3 children, 25, 23 and 16. I had 3 miscarriages after my 3rd child was born and decided it just wasn’t meant to be to have 4 children. I love your blog in that it’s full of real person living: staying on track as much as possible & forgiveness when we fall of the wagon. Just like life! All the best to you & enjoy your journey. I hope you feel well! Smells really amplified when I was pregnant.

Thanks, Pam! I’m so sorry for your losses, I can’t imagine how tough that must have been. I’m glad you love the blog and thank you again! and yep smells are CRAZY!

Thanks girl!
Mia says
SO HAPPY FOR YOU!!! Would love to see a post of all your health changes, tips, tricks, etc. that you used / took on in order to help make this possible!
Kelli Shallal MPH RD says
I definitely recommend naturalfertilityinfo.com (although I don’t endorse their cleanse) I think they have a ton of great info. The info on that site plus the Amazon book Taking Charge of Your Fertility helped me identify my luteal phase defect and get treated with progesterone to prevent another loss. I have that story coming soon!
Sarah @ Bucket List Tummy says
yay!!! So happy for you, Kelly! I had a feeling this was coming soon (don’t know why!). Reach out with any questions – I may be sleep deprived with a 2.5 week old but SO excited for you!!
Kelli Shallal MPH RD says
