ME!!!Oh, c'mon doesn't everybody take at least 2 tests to make sure the first one was really correct? Uh...taking a picture of yourself closeup enough to see that second pink line on the pregnancy tests really accentuates one's pores and uneven skin tone, huh? Well, at least the double chin, that we all know existed prior to conception, but will be blamed on the pregnancy in the months to come, isn't in the closeup picture.

I love how the ultrasound technician labeled our baby, "THE BABY". I mean...I would have preferred she labeled my child with something along the lines of, "The most perfect, wonderful, gorgeous baby that I have ever had the pleasure of seeing on the ultrasound equipment." (My 3 older children were born in Virginia, so that is why I feel she has free license to call this child the most wonderful...because she didn't have the pleasure of photographing the others). But, I guess, "THE BABY" will suffice.
We. are. THRILLED!! ☺.
Our bundle of joy is due on August 8th. It's gonna be a fun summer in the fiery depths of Georgia for this whiny girl.
Now, please don't take this personally...but I have to go throw up.

Oh my goodness!!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!!!
Congrats! That's awesome!
I am so happy for you! Congratulations. And it made it all the better to be able to see the not one, but two sticks that you peed on.
Such happy times! Throwing up is a good sign.
CON-FREAKING-GRATULATIONS! That is the best news I've heard all day. Are you hoping for pink this time around?
Oh my Goodness! Congrats..... hopefully the sickness will abate with time. I wish you a happy healthy baby!
Sounds like you're super happy. Glad I bumped into your blog today so I, too, can offer congratulations.
By the way, there's a new book contest running on my blog today, in case you're interested. It's a good one :-)
OK, so I figured this post was worthy enough of me officially signing up on this thing to finally comment on one of your posts! Congratulations, Lauren! I'm so happy for you guys.
And, wow...you already know it's a girl?! ;)
Congrats! That is very exciting. Hope the you don't throw up too much. :)
what??? you are??!! yay for you! LOVE YOU!!
AHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! YAY!!!!!!!!!! I am sooo excited (for you)!!!
Your boys will make the BEST big brothers!
Sick, are ya??
YAY!!!(that your are PG)
and
DANG!! (that you are sick)
I am so happy for you!
HOORAY!
Yay Lauren!! I can't wait to read all your pregnancy posts so I can feel like I am pregnant with you minus being sick!
Wahooooo! I am way way excited! Fun fun fun! And I am so happy that I finally have the ability to send GIRL VIBES to someone...and you certainly are deserving. =) Hopefully the journey to second trimester won't seem too long and awful. Yay!
Yippee!! I'm so happy for you! And when I saw that picture I noticed your GORGEOUS eyes and beautiful eyebrows, not the other features you mentioned. I know what you mean about being sick and being pregnant through a hot, sticky southern summer...but it'll be worth it!! Can't wait to see the little bundle in a few months and I hope the morning sickness lets up soon. Congrats again!
Yay!! SO HAPPY FOR YOU! Congratulations! I take 2 tests too. Ya gotta be sure the first one isn't lying to you ;)
You have pretty eyes by the way!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I wanted to cry from happiness when I read that first line.
From a pregnancy thrower-upper to another, I hope you feel better! If those babies weren't so darn worth it all...
Awesome! (Like Nic, I was thinking about pee too.) Why don't you come stay with Nic down here in Hell during the firey months of summer? It will make you appreciate what you have there in Georgia!
Holy Cow, Lauren! Congratulations! This is totally where our parallel lives stop being parallel. I'm NOT following you there! But I am beyond thrilled for you. AND!! My oldest was born August 6th, have that baby a couple of days early and we can have joint birthday parties!!!
As a fellow mother of three boys also, I give you license to punch anyone who asks you if you a)want a girl, b)are sad you are having another boy, or c) asks if you are going to keep trying until you have a girl.
oh yeah, YAY!!! But I think I mentioned that on the phone!
Woo Hoo! Lauren, that is wonderful news. I am so happy for you. You seem so happy to have to go throw up- I guess some things are worth it! Congrats!
You can come and smell Rebecca's head any time you want to get some girl molecules in there.
YAY! So excited for you! And of course EVERYONE takes two pregnancy tests. You have to double check right?
When I was pregnant with Abby, Garrett made me take 4 pregnancy tests before we told anyone. AND, they all had to be different BRANDS of tests. And then we still had to wait like 2 weeks before saying anything. To anyone.
Congrats!!
WHOOO HOOOOOOO!!! Congrats!!
Now I have a name for you if its a girl....
..
.
Tiffany of course!!!!
Congratulations.
Sorry you have to go through the morning sickness, though.
I took 4 tests with this pregnancy. Hey, a girl's gotta be sure, right? I am so excited for you!!!! Congratulations!!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYY YAAAAAYYY YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!
That's great news! Congrats, Lauren!!!
All right!!!!!! Sending pink thoughts your way. Though blue is nice too.
This I know about August babies--there is a lot of water weight included. :)
Maybe this will encourage Jaime..you and Jack can gang up on her.
Congratulations! I must confess I stalk your great blog but have never commented (too lazy... don't take it personally :)). But I had to come out and comment because I'm pregnant and due on the 8th also... so here's to a great date!
Hoorray!!! Heres hope for a healthly, beautiful baby and a smooth pregnancy for you.
L-do you want a girl, b)are you sad you might be having another boy, or c) if it's a boy, are you going to keep trying until you have a girl?
Do ya wanna punch me?
Congratulations!
"If I were in the pre-existence, I would have chosen you too"-not my quote, but true!
I linked over from Rachel's blog (that and I see you commenting on everyone's blog, and I lurk a little)... CONGRATULATIONS! Good luck with the pregnancy, morning sickness, Georgia in the summer, etc. Sending happy thoughts!
WOOT WOOT!!!
Bingo!
WHOOOOPPPPPEEEEE!!
AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Terrific!
Spectacular!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!
Invest in saltines and sprite.
Wonderful, exciting news! Hope you feel better soon.
YAY for YOU! I love your close up! Your eyes look so happy and your brows rock!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!!!!! How wonderful! What a happy surprise, to visit your blog and see such sweet news :) I am so very, very happy for you.
And. Who cares about a double chin....just LOOK at your gorgeous brows! I have brow-envy. You have perfectly arched brows.
Happy barfing, my friend :)
Why didn't you tell me you were posting this?? I would have made sure to be the first to comment, and say something like, "she practically called me the day of conception!!" You know I'm so excited for you that I've been dreaming about it. And, also exciting that Ryan finally decided to comment! Hooray! I love you, sister!! :)
I love you and I am so happy for you and YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Oh my goodness I am so excited for you. Maybe you'll finally get a cute little girl. I hope you aren't too sick.
Wow!! That is so exciting! Huge congratulations!!
I saw your comment on "Just a Moment." I am so sorry to hear about your mom. I didn't know she had committed suicide. That must be so, so hard.
You are amazing! I wish you all the best with the pregnancy. Enjoy that throwing up as you dream of your new baby!
WOW!! that is wonderful!! i am so thrilled for you, too!
sorry you have to throw up! that's not very thrilling. hopefully it won't last long!
happy pregnancy!
oh Lauren! Congratulations! That is such awesome news. When are you due? Sometime at the end of that LONG southern summer? I thought so. I know VA is NOTHING next to GA- but I had Alex in Sept- after a LONG summer without AC--- yikes! Maybe it helps one to not gain so much weight to be hot and pregnant (yeah right, I still gained 50 lbs!)
the irony.
ah, the irony.
i'm sure you know of what i speak. ssshhhhh.... keep it confidential.
congrats. better you than me.
I'm SOOOOOOOOOOO ecstatic for you!! And you look so darling holding up your pink, positive sticks!!!
CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!!!!
Congratulations!!! Wow, #4! What a lucky little baby to come to your fun family!... Best wishes through the morning sickness! & Wow, August in Georgia- Good luck! I had an August baby in humid MD so, I feel for ya!... and yah, there is a reason to buy the two tests in one box. Actually, my first two pregnancies it didn't show I was pregnant, even though I was. I guess you just can't be the impatient type like me. Congrats, Congrats!
WOOHOO!!! THis is going to be so fun! Checking your blog and your progress as the months go along. I can't wait to see this most perfect, wonderful child! Congrats friend!
Oh, I am so happy for you!!! I just knew I was going to read that on your blog someday! I am so excited for you! You are such a great Mom, that baby is coming to an awesome family!
We need to get the boys together sometime! Asher is finally starting to talk a little bit!
NO WAY.
I totally thought you guys were done.
You are one brave woman. This is so so so so exciting.
(And sorry I'm number 49, but you are way too popular, and I'm way too behind in the blog world!)
BLAHHH!!!! YIPPEEE! We're so excited for you!!
Oh happy day. You are such a good mother you deserve another!
Wow! Congratulations!! I'm so excited for you guys!!
I don't leave many comments these days, but I have to wish you a congratulations on this one. How exciting for you. And you couldn't have picked a better due date (because I know you selected it yourself)...great people have been born on August 8 (like ME!).
I hope you get to feeling better soon.
Hip hip hooray!!!!! I am so happy for you!!!!!!! (Can you tell by all the exclamation points?!?!) You are the greatest mom and your kids are so blessed to have you!
I hope you feel well soon.
Ditto the eyebrows!
Yahoo!
Congratulations! I hope this pregnancy is easy and stress-free. :)
Wow! Congrats. This is sooooo cool.
Wonderful news! Some little spirit is jumping up and down in heaven saying, "Yay! Look who I get for my family!!!" Congrats...
Wow, sounds like lots of fun. New babies are so much fun to plan for, Get some sleep while you still can.
I am soo happy for you! I can hardly stand it! I can not wait for August(not only because then my birthday MONTH begins, but because you are going to have a little one. and i think its a girl!!! :)! Again, Congrats!
HUUUUUUUUURAAAAAAY: pregnant.
ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH: summer pregnancy. :-)
Congrats!
Been off line, congratufreakinglations! Yay babies!
You can name it after me, none of my sisters have!
YAY, YAY, YAY!
Pregnancies always illicit the most comments. So there is another up side of being pregnant.
Think of that as you are bending over the toilet.
Just ran across your blog address (I know, I know, how could I have misplaced it?!?)
Congrats!!! That is super wonderful. It's fun to catch the Baby Train.
Good luck beating the heat this summer. PLEASE! Keep in touch!
Lauren, you are so funny. I love your comments. My step dad went to Chiro school in Dallas and lives in Idaho now. He used to always talk about BlueBell and we were like "whatever." (rolling eyes.) One Christmas my little brother had 2-half gallons packed and sent to him as a gift...I think it was the best gift he ever got. I can't even bring myself to eat Ben n Jerry's if Blue Bell is a choice...although I am also a fan of Braum's and Baskin Robbins. :o) We need to hook up sme day!
holy crap, you have 64 comments on one post. maybe i should get pregnant.
or not.
your comment about bumrushing the pearly gates was so funny i snorted. funny enough for me to make the effort to come over her and tell you. and believe me, i am one unmotivated woman... so you know it was good.
Congratulations! That is AWESOME! And yeah, I too take two tests just to make sure. With Child #2 I took two tests, had a blood test, and had MONTHLY ultrasounds and STILL didn't believe I was pregnant until I was a good 6 months into it.
AWESOME!!! Back before I had Gabe, my brother gave me a list of names to use. I thought I'd share them with you.
If it's a Girl:
Annoy
Beebop
If it's a boy:
Rock
Boulder
Huckleberry
Steven David (the first names of 2 guys I dated)
I hope these help (as you can see, I didn't choose any of them and so they are still available!).
I am DYING! That is SO GREAT.
You need zofran. It will change your life.
Oh yeah, oh yeah- maybe now we won't be the loudest church family on the left side. How am I supposed to wait till August to see this new "Marshmellow" (as Ben says)?
I bet we will be seeing you a lot at the Y pool THIS year!
I am a friend of Jessica R and Jessica A and have been following your blog... CONGRATS! I hope you feel better soon and can't wait for more ultrasound photos - those are my favorite!
Holy Miss Popular!
Am I the 71st comment?
I remember reading this in my reader, but for some reason that escapes me now...I never commented.
Better late than never.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
Hey! I'm just getting to this...Congrats! You guys sure are missed here. Hope you are doing well ( well, as good as can be).
YYEEEEEEEEHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAW!!!
Congratulations!
I'm so excited for you! (and a teensy bit jealous too) :)
Lauren, I have been away so long and coming back to you and this news is like getting cupcakes even when it isn't your birthday, no, it's better than that!
This is WONDERFUL! Huzzah, Hurrah, Hurray!
Lauren, Congratulations!! That is such a cute picture of you- I can feel your happiness coming out of it. I hope you are feeling ok... will the throwing up end with the first trimester?? I hope so.
p.s. sorry I'm so late on the commenting. I am a loser these days at checking blogs. 79 comments! WOW!
Sis. Marshman! I hope you remember me (Rachel Atkins) since you were my Young Women's leader for a bit :) I found your blog on Tiffany's. Congratulations on being pregnant! Your family is getting so big! It's been so long since I've seen you, I guess more then 7 years now. I hope ya'll are doing great! From the looks of your blog it looks like your doing wonderful! Anyway I just wanted to say hi and I added you to my blog list to check :) Later!
I just thought again today about you and your good news and it made me smile. So, if you're still in that "too sick to smile much" stage, just know that thousands of miles away I'm doing it for you!
The last to know. Well, that's what I get for taking a bloggy break! Congratulations! I will send you wishes for a baby boy - I don't like to jinx it.
Lauren - I just found out the good news when I saw your comment on Tiffany's blog. Congratulations!!!!! What will you do without me around this time? HA HA!
Love ya
Melanie
