I found it amusing that you had Lacie named so early – we did the same with Lily…and with Ben but he was Ivy…ooops – so thought he was a girl.

    I’m a personal blogger and wrote about my year. Looking forward to reading more about your year. Cheers, ali

  55. Congrats to your family, Chantelle!! I’ve had a hunch for a while now. I don’t know how. But I knew the moment I saw the headline that you’re now ready to tell the world 🙂 such wonderful news! xx

  56. Oh congratulations Chantelle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Such an exciting time for you and your whole family! My bub is due in May, so we can chat online throughout our middle of the night feeding schedules! So thrilled for you all. In my experience a second baby is even more magical, as you get to see this teeny newborn from a more relaxed, experienced state and soak in all the wonderfulness with the confidence that you know even the hardest parts will pass but the good parts will be that much sweeter.xoxoxoxoxoxxo

  57. Oh gosh wow congratulations!!
    I understand your uncertain excitement. After many miscarriages I finnaly had a little baby girl last May. Up until the moment I held her in my arms (actually probably a week later) I couldn’t believe she was really here.
    Enjoy enjoy enjoy 🙂

  58. Congrats Chantelle! That is wonderful news.
    We have just had our 2nd bubs, he is now 6 weeks old. We struggled to get pregnant with both our little ones. It took nearly 2 years with Bubs#2, so the excitement of seeing that first ultrasound is just amazing!

  59. Yay another Leo for the world!
    Thank you for sharing such an intimate part of your life with all of us 🙂
    Congratulations!

  60. congratulations! I know that feeling of relief when you have the scan and everything is well 😀 Im expecting mine in July 😀 Good luck and congrats again x

  61. Congratulations chantelle. I can totally understand your excitement. I left a comment on your post a few months ago for I heart my body saying that I didn’t love my body because I have pcos and it was affecting my ability to conceive – I am happy to say I am now pregnant with my first child due in july.

  62. Big congratulations Chantelle & family!!
    That’s excellent news and I can understand it’s been hard to keep the secret until now. Best of luck and I’m looking forward to updates on this new life as well as your regular fun input here on the blog, on FB and IG.

  70. Hi Chantelle, now I can share my secret:))) My eldest daughter told us on Christmas Day that she was pregnant but also that we weren’t allowed to tell anyone until they said we could…longest 2 months and hardest secret to keep in a very long time. She is due mid to late August as well…so very exciting.

  71. Wow, congratulation. When ever I hear someone is expecting I cry! So I had a few happy tears for you. Big love. xox

  72. Congrats to you and the family. I know how much you have wanted this. What joy your post brought to me, so happy for you. Enjoy and cannot wait to see the posts about baby number 2. Hope all goes well and take care of you.

  73. Ok, so just having found your scan pic today and realising I was slow on the uptake I had to go back through your blog (felt like I was stalking you!) ….
    CONGRATULATIONS!!!
    Well Done gorgeous, very happy for you, Shane and Lacey. Happy Baking xxxx
