Guess what..

May 8th, 2014 was the day my life changed forever. for a little while I was feeling a little different and under the weather. Just two days before we were leaving for cancun on our honeymoon we decided to take a pregnancy test just to be sure. Even though we both knew it was impossible because we were being safe, we wanted to rule out the option of being pregnant. 3 minutes go by and I have a positive test, so just to be safe I took 3 more.

Yup! Baby Vickery is on its way! Though we are very exited to start this amazing new chapter in our lives, it wasn't exactly in our plans this early. Finding out I was pregnant was terrifying to me. Here I am newly married, with a husband who is trying to go to medical school, and we already have a bun in the oven! I was scared, and I couldn't help but feel like it was my fault. When I told Logan the news I was balling, but he was fine. He wrapped me in his arms, and said, "Lauren this is amazing, and we can do this." Immediately I felt so much better about the situation. I am so blessed to have such a loving husband who can comfort me, and take my fears away.

We sat down and hatched out a plan. First things first; money. How are we going to afford a baby being newly married, and living in a new town? Being young, poor college students, how are we going to provide this wonderful blessing of ours a beautiful life he/she deserves? We decided to apply for finical help, and we got a lot of options that relieved us both. Bottom line is were going to do this, and its going to be ok!

Our first Doctors appointment was May 9th. We had our first sonogram and there wasn't much to see yet but a tiny little sac with a little circle in it. That little circle is our baby! With tears in my eyes I look over at Logan only to see a huge smile on his face. I was over the moon happy. We have a little family! I asked the doctor when this happened, she pulls out this little wheel and does some math for a few moments and looks up at us and says, "your baby was conceived April 19th." Me and Logan instantly shot a look at each other. As you all know April 19th was our exact wedding night. Yes, we made a honeymoon baby!

-Baby V due: January 8th, 2015

P.s we had to announce the news a little sooner than we wanted.. But news was somehow spreading fast! 




(I know I don't know what I am having yet, BUT I have a mother who is just super excited and wanted to be the first person to buy baby stuff. I think its cute for both genders so I was fine!)

The wedding day

So as some of you know I finally got married last Saturday to the man of my dreams, after 9 long months of planning for the day that we finally get to tie the knot! My stress levels were through the roof, there is so much you have to think about like the cake, the flowers, how you want it decorated, the location, and so much more! It gets really over whelming and at times i would think to myself.. I should have eloped. As the day came closer it starts to set in, wow this is really happening I am getting married!

I finally told myself the wedding day is going to turn out how its supposed to and everything is going to work itself out. The night before the wedding my bridal party did a run through of walking down the isle to the music, and I froze.. This is really happening, I couldn't be more excited.

Finally after a night of zero sleep it was time to start getting ready, and before I knew it I was walking down the isle to meet the man I am going to spend the rest of my life with! My wedding day was seriously a dream come true, it was beyond gorgeous. Though at times it was hectic and crazy it still worked out just how I wanted it, maybe it was perfect because I had the best help a girl could get!

Now that the day is over and I am going on one week of marriage I really miss planning a wedding and looking forward to the wedding day! But I am so beyond excited to see what the future has in store for us. I couldn't be more excited to be Mrs. Lauren Vickery!
