\\u201cWe\\u2019re gonna go through tough times. And we\\u2019re gonna be fine.\\u201d

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, \\u201cWas this planned?! Were you trying?!\\u201d), and share how we\\u2019re both feeling, why we\\u2019re frustrated with the medical system (as usual!), and whether we think Ellie knows she\\u2019s about to be a big sister (she totally does). Thanks for following along on this crazy ride \\u2014 we can\\u2019t wait to share it all with you.
