Brian and I always said we would start trying to have kids as soon as we got married. I thought that I would finish out my pack of birth control pills the month after the wedding, then it would take 6 months to a year before all the hormones would be out of my system and we would be successful at conceving a child...
Well the weekend of September 1st (opening weekend of Dove season) we loaded up Lola Grace and our shot guns and headed west to the Ranch. I had been sleepy the week before, but thought it was just from being back at school for a week, so I took a test before we left and it read negative. SO off we went to Brady! The whole time we were in the car Brian swore I was pregnant and he just knew... I knew I was not and assured him of it. Finally by Sunday I was sick of him accusiung me of being pregnant and took another test... well the man was right and two positive tests later I realized he was right and I had been so wrong!
I told Brian right away and didn't do anything "cute" to let him know he would be dad with in the year. I also called my mom and dad, grammy, and brother and sister-in-law. I let Brian tell his family and the only person in the family we kept the secret from was Clay, my Father in Law. He wants us to have as many kids as we can, and was eager for us to get pregnant right away! SO when he got home from a work trip we got a cake that said "Welcome Home Grandpa" and he about cried he was so excited.
Our next step was scheduling a Doctors appointment, I had been established with my doctor for several years, but wanted to go to someone close so Brian could make it to as many appointments as he wanted. I researched in Weatherford, and found Dr. Mcbride. We fell in love with her within minutes of meeting her and knew we made a good choice for the care of our baby. I was 9 weeks at our first appointment and she said everything looked perfect, and there was no reason why we couldn't tell all of our friends and family. So we did! My friend Emily took some pictures for us and we posted away on facebook and instagram.

In the next few months we found out the baby was healthy, growing like a weed (she is a week ahead of schedule everytime we go get her checked). We cant wait for the first week in May when she will make her apperance.
Love this! I love that he cried!! So sweet!! Whoo who can't wait… oh and I am blog stalking you today :-)
