It's Officially Official....April 15th 2012...Baby Brown!!!

Well, we've always tried to defy the odds in life but this is not an odd we were trying to defy...but it looks like we did anyways.  WE ARE PREGNANT!!  We officially hit our 3 month anniversary mark on Sunday September 25th and also hit our 11 week pregnant mark as well...that's right...we had ONE week of marriage before I got "Knocked Up". 

I guess this is my payback for teasing my friends in college that got pregnant right away with the phrase, "Don't ya'll know what Birth Control is?" Haha.  Well...we knew what it was, and we were definitely taking it, I had an alarm that went off on my phone every day at 6pm to take it and I was very ritual about it...but apparently we're the .01% of the population that birth control is not effective for. 

Coby was excited and supportive from the moment I told him...I happened to be in tears sobbing so I'm not sure he understood what I was telling him for the first few minutes.  I was pretty in shock and although all 16 of the tests I took (I know you're laughing right now...so was Coby) said positive, I was still a bit in denial and thinking maybe all of the tests were wrong.  Well, 16 tests and $70 later we were pretty sure WE'RE HAVING A BABY!!!  We are out of the shock phase now (it took about 5 minutes for Coby and about a month for me since I'm quite the planner) and in to the phase of EXCITED!!

We have TRULY been blessed so far and I'm praying that although I'm putting this in writing it won't jinx it.  I've yet to be sick, experience morning sickness or any side effects!  We've had one bad mood swing day (Coby may beg to differ haha) this past week and that's about all...when I say truly blessed I mean TRULY blessed!!)  Our dr. said today he should put us up on a billboard because he doesn't have any patients that have been that lucky.  My sister has been SO sick her whole pregnancy...probably because it's twins so I think she secretly is waiting for me to have to experience it as well but we're crossing our fingers!

Two of my best friends growing up just had babies so it will be fun to be on our 3rd generation of friendships.  Our friendships started with our moms, then us, and will now continue with our babies so I'm pretty excited! My best friend Jocelyn had her last baby about 2 years ago, and my college friends have all recently had kids as well so I'm excited to join their club and have our kids grow up together and be friends.  Oh...and not to mention, my sister is pregnant with TWINS so I'm very excited for our baby to have cousins close in age.  We never had this growing up and I absolutely LOVE being married in to a family where there are so many cousins, nieces, nephews and etc. so I'm excited for our baby to experience that joy in her/his life.  I put the HER first because I think everyone is pretty much vying for a baby girl, especially since the last 2 grandkids on Coby's side are little boys, and my sister is having TWIN BOYS!!!

Anyways, that's all for now...we'll keep you updated as we go along.  We had our 3rd appointment today, 1st with our new Dr. and let me just tell you...it makes a WORLD of difference being pregnant when you LOVE your dr. and their nurses...they actually laughed at Coby and my jokes unlike the last office :).  When someone can't laugh at my husband...it's a pretty good sign they don't have a very good sense of humor.  For those of you who know him...you're well aware he gets himself out of trouble in a lot of situations with his charm and humor (and country boy accent) and that's why I love him!!
