Well, I have a few confessions. First, I'm married. I've been married 4 years (I was a baby). April 2013 DH and I separated and I was angry and sad and that's when A was conceived. Although I would have anticipated having another man's baby to be the final straw, everything we went through during that time opened our eyes and forced us to grow as individuals. In March we came back together and have had an incredible marriage since- our personal growth and counseling worked wonders for us as a couple.
Second confession- Due to my PCOS being in such a sad state, we've been meaning to prevent but sometimes get lazy (my body can't tolerate BC pills) and I got a BFP last night. I'm kind of in shock and not sure what to think. I had a MC in 2012 so I'm afraid to think too much this early on. I think I also can't get too excited because of the memories I currently have of pregnancy. I know that even if this LO sticks around I'll be going to nursing school, it will just have to be in October instead of April. According to my last cycle, EDD is 8/12, but I don't think that's accurate with my irregularity.
I don't know if it's appropriate to announce here so early but I can't tell anyone IRL and I guess I just need to get it out there. And y'all feel like friends. So there it is.

First I want to say congratulations and I wish you health and happiness with this pregnancy. It might seem a little strange the timing (I'm getting the vibe from reading) but sometimes the best things come to us by surprise.
Awww!! Congratulations!! I am so happy for you!! I'm glad that you and your Husband are doing well! I know it can be scary given previous experiences, but I do wish you all the best! ((hugs))!!!

June 2014--Started our Home Study (all paperwork &fingerprinting that ensued)
August 2014--Finished our Home Study and Officially Waiting
Thanks, all! I know it's so silly that I didn't mention my husband before. I've just been so afraid of judgement. I got enough of it IRL and I just wanted to feel like a normal, decent person here. I guess I also was afraid I'd get less support since I have a spouse, but we don't talk about the adoption often.

Congratulations sweetie! You don't have to worry about judgement here! You have to do what best for you and your family. Keep us updated and I'll be praying for you about your worries of a mc!
