Since everything is out in the open... I found out I was pregnant by taking a home pregnacy test, clear blue easy digital. It was very clear, there were no lines, it just said yes or no. The next day, 2/13/06. I called the OBGYN for an appointment and they took me that day, my friend Kate came with me so I was not scared. I was crying, it felt like forever. Such a feeling that I never quite had before. The Dr. was pretty nice and informational so it went ok. My friends Shannon and Kate both went to him and said good things. Well the exam hurt but I got to see the baby so small.. 4.2 mm which the doctor said was big for the 5 1/2 weeks that they told me I was pregnant. SHOCKING!! So my due date is October 11 2006. It was funny but our anniversary was 1/4/06 and I conceived 1/3/06. I also put myself on a pretty strict diet. Eating right and walking will hopefully do me good and I will not blow up (my biggest fear).
So the sex of the baby is still to come and I really don't care as long as it is healthy. A girl would be nice though..haha ! Names are still up in the air so if you have suggestions let me know. There are so many nice names but it is hard with the last name of Carroll (YOU KNOW). But the top names are for a boy- Connor, Calib, William, Jacob, Haden, Cole Girls- Shy Mackenzie, Madison, Jaden... the ones in bold are my favorite, but let me know what you think.
Goot, I love you with all my heart and now our life really begins here. I would never have believed that this would happen so soon in our relationship but it did so now I will say that I will forever be the best mom, girlfriend and everything for you and OUR baby. I will prove it every day of my life. Thank-you for being so strong when I 'am so weak. And to all just so you know my biggest fear is getting huge (not boobs) haha! So again thanks all for everything.
Love Lauren

I'm happy for you both.....can't get over the similarities in your pregnancy as mine with Erin-It's almost scary!!!! I hope through looking at us you will see that everything will be fine and in fact will make you stronger. No doubt it is a hard and bumpy road but it is so worth it and I think you both know that. I remember like it was yesterday all the feelings you are having and worrying what other people will think. Don't worry what others think or tell you to do, do what feels right for you both. I hope you both feel comfortable coming to us to ask questions, advice or just to talk. We will help in any way we can. Erin can't wait to babysit!!! She also has some opinions on baby names--it must be an E name....for a girl she likes Emma and for a boy she likes Easton(different huh, she came up with that on her own).
As I sit here reading your BLOG with tears in my eyes, I want to express my feelings about you and Lauren having a baby. I'm very happy for you both and I hope you know that you can count on Pat and me for whatever we can do to help during and after the pregnancy. Scott, you expressed yourself nicely and I realize that my boy is a man and I'm proud of you. Do the right things in life and life will do right by you....There will be many times when you question why?? and how can I overcome my problems?? Family is the answer!!!Don't ever be afraid to ask for help. Your family loves you and will assist in any way possible. I look forward to meeting Lauren and welcome to the family. I'm sure you two (Three) will be happy forever. I'm excited to be a grand-pop again!!
Love, Dad Carroll
Lauren,
Well where do i begin. When you told me you were pregnant i thought you were just fooling with me. When I realized that you were serious I began to cry out of excitement for you and scott too! All those times I've joked around with you and scott when are you guys going to have a baby so Briana will have somebody to play with. We been through alot with together and I hope we continue are friendship together. Your like a sister to me Lauren. I was happy that you asked me to the godmother of yours and Scott's baby. You know I spoiled the baby to death. Just think if you have a girl her and Briana can share the same relationship that me and you have. Reading what you and scott had wrote made me cry! IT came straight from the heart. Lauren you will be a good mother you already are! I will be here for you whenever you need hand. I can't wait until the little one arrives to hold him or her. To have a child is a true blessing. Even though they sometimes make you broke, or get under your skin. But knowing that you created him or her is greatest feeling in the world. I'm so happy for the both you, you guys will make good parents. I hope you enjoy being prgnant and feeling your little one kick you. You'll miss that feeling when it's gone so enjoy now. Love you Always Lauren!
Love your sis,
Shannon & Briana
