68. We're Having a Baby!

68. We're Having a Baby!

"We're gonna go through tough times. And we're gonna be fine."

Brian and I are so excited to tell the world that we are having a baby! I am 12 weeks pregnant (at the time we recorded this), and am due October 23. On this episode, we answer all the questions we keep getting from friends, family, and total strangers (namely, "Was this planned?! Were you trying?!"), and share how we're both feeling, why we're frustrated with the medical system (as usual!), and whether we think Ellie knows she's about to be a big sister (she totally does). Thanks for following along on this crazy ride — we can't wait to share it all with you.

What you'll get on this episode:

  • "Were you trying?! Was this planned?!" (1:30)
  • How I found out, and how I felt when I got that positive pregnancy test (3:30)
  • How I told Brian the big news (10:00)
  • How I've been feeling (17:45)
  • Our experience with doctors so far — the good and the bad (19:20)
  • How we told our families the news (34:00)
  • How Brian's feeling right now (38:35)
  • My response to people who ask, "Do you want a boy or a girl?" (42:50)
  • What has surprised us both so far (46:30)
  • Does Ellie know what's up? (54:00)
