Official: My Wife Is Pregnant

In the middle of the Blog Masters Club launch, I leaked the fact on Twitter that my wife was pregnant with our #2.

I wanted to go ahead and make it official here on my blog, and give you the story.

In short, Malika is close to 3 months pregnant. We’ve actually known for at least 6 weeks. You might ask why we kept it private?

Because she told me to. :) And smart husbands obey. ;)

My wife is a more private person than I am. To me, telling my online friends that we’re pregnant isn’t that big of a deal. But, she didn’t want anybody except for close family knowing. So, I had to wait for her to be OK with it.

Last week, she officially told the world on her own blog. In fact, she’s even doing weekly video updates now for those of you who want to follow along. Once she started doing that, it gave me the green light to tell you guys.

Of course, being in the middle of a product launch, I didn’t want to make it all about my family. I also didn’t want anybody to think that I was using it as some sort of marketing tool. :) On my sales page, I do mention Elyana (my first daughter) several times because her birth was a strong motivating factor for me to really put my business into hyperdrive.

So, life is on it’s way to becoming even more interesting. :)

It is adventurous being a blogger and using that to make a living enough to now support a family with TWO kids. More motivation for me, I guess.

I’m going to have to exercise more. Like a lot of dads, I gained weight during the last one. Didn’t want my wife to feel left out (that’s my excuse). But, I can’t do that again or my damn chair will break! ;)

    David, congratulations to the both of you. Kids are awesome I have 3 and they motivate and distract me plenty but they make me a better person.

    I also gained weight with number 1 and 3 but then lost with number 2 so maybe you will have the same results with number 2 wishing you and your wife a happy heathy child.

    Congratulations to you and your wife; how awesome! I had to laugh about you gaining weight with the last pregnancy. I’m sure when your wife had those cravings, you just couldn’t help yourself too. LOL.

    Congratulations. Three months seems to be the convention to avoid letting people know and then having a miscarriage. After three months, the chances are much smaller.

    Hi David and congratulation. I’m somewhat new to your blog here and been enjoying your great content.

    I have two little boys myself, one and three. My 3 year old has learned that daddy blogs. LOL He doesn’t know what that means, but he knows I do it and it’s on the computer.

    I recently spliced together a few video outtakes from some of the video tutorials I’ve done. In one of them, I have the baby monitor sitting on my desk and during my video tutorial my 1 year old son decides to chime in. (hope you don’t mind the link)

    Anyway, congrats!

    I love babies! They’re so cute! My little sister is about 7 years old now, she’s still cute but I miss the adorable baby phase. Anyway, the point is, congratulations David!

    Congrats David. I’ve got two boys – 5 and 3 years old. Let’s just say that when the second one came along it wasn’t twice as difficult – it was a lot harder than that!! They’re great though. All the best to you and your wife.
