Yep that's right, we are expecting our first child, I am 3 months pregnant. It has been a long drug out process and then very unexpected. Back in February of 2007 the day before the Super Bowl, Rusty and I had talked about me getting off birth control so Super Bowl Sunday was my first day off the pill. Fast forward about 3 years and I was still not pregnant. So, Rusty convinced me to get into a Doctor to see what was going on. After several tests on me and one on him the Doctor wanted to start me on some kind of pill for a month then up the dose for 2 more months then introduce another pill for a few more months then we would talk again. I think it was in January when I filled my prescription then talked to Rusty and told him it would be smart if I didn't start taking the pills because in June of 2011 we have a 2 week hunting trip planned and I don't want to be pregnant or have a brand new baby to have to leave with someone. He agreed that we would start trying after next summer.
A month after that I won a Doll Sheep hunt in Alaska and that is in August of 2011. Rusty and I were so relieved that I hadn't started on the pills and that I was not pregnant because that is also a 2 week trip and would be way hard to leave a baby for 2 different trips in one summer.
Fast forward again to May 7th. While Rusty and I were in Moab for 3 weeks for his j0b I could tell something was different with my body. Rusty tried to talk me into getting a pregnancy test but I told him there was no reason for that. Then on May 11th while Rusty was at work I thought that for $15 I better just go get one just to find out for sure. Needless to say, all I could do is cry until he got home. I told him as I was balling and all he could say was "I'm exited" then "You are scaring me" because all I could do was cry. Talk about bad timing. So the baby is due around January 19th 2011 and both hunts are still on for next summer. Rusty is more excited than ever and I am still trying to figure out what the hell happened.

I want to know what the hell happened also, But I am excited for you guys! I know I have never been pregnant but all I think I would be thinking about is what the baby would look like. CONGRATS!! It will all be good!
congratulations!!! haha. you are so funny. I'm sure it will all work out just fine. I can't wait to find out what you are having!
I'm so dang excited! I know CJ is too!
haha...it will be all good. You guys are going to be great parents and the baby will just fit right into your world of plans. Things will change but it's so fun and when there little, its easier to take them anywhere with you :)I'm so excited and happy for you both. Just think you will have a little huntin' buddy.
Congrats, I would have gone to the Dr. after 3 months not 3 years. Life changes and life goes on.
Yay, I am soooo happy for you guys! If you dare leave your baby with me I will babysit! We definitely need to get together, when will you be back around here?
Congrats on the new arrival! You'll be great parents. I never thought I could be a mom but once that newborn is in your arms it all comes naturally. Can't wait to see pictures!
Even though you don't sound exactly excited, it will all work out. I had my first right in the middle of a full-time graduate program. I had to work full-time with a newborn and I was freaked, but it all worked out. Then when my sister died during childbirth I told myself I'd never have another one. Well, three months later, I was pregnant. I can't even tell you how my heart has been healed by this pregnancy. I don't think it is by chance or accident. Anyway, things will work out. Your life will change, but for the BETTER! Congratulations!!!
Congrats! That is so exciting! I am so happy for you guys!
Leaving a 6 month and 8 month old is a lot easier than a newborn. I'm so excited for you! January 19th is my Jess's birthday, That would be a really weird cool coincidence. Of course they'd be 9 yes NINE years apart. wow.
Yay!!! So excited for you guys- having a baby is such an experience, good, bad, messy, rewarding, and so so so amazing. Seriously weird how you can love someone so instantaneously :) Cant wait to hear if its a boy or girl, I was due jan 24th... turned out to be a great month
Congrats on the pregnancy! Seems like it's commom for women to get pregnant when they stop "trying" to get pregnant. Sounds like this baby had it's own plans for when it was going to come! I'm excited for you guys- as inconvient as kids can be at times they are also one of the greatest blessings:)
You will be an amazing Mom! Congrats! I know what it's like to be surprised by a baby coming when you don't plan on it but I can truly tell you that these babies come when they need to.
We are so excited, and we know you are too! Like we've said, if you need any help with the little one just let us know!
Wow! Congrats! I hope you are feeling good:)
