"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?!"
