Do any of you have children around 15 months apart? What are the hardest parts about it?
I'm afraid I may be pregnant again. (not afraid really, we would be thrilled, it would just be a little shocking). I started back on birth control last month and when I got to the last days and had my period I forgot to get a new pack (it was Christmas time and I just wasn't thinking clearly). I didn't think about it until about a week later. I figured since we weren't having sex that often lately and it took us several months to get pregnant each time with Noah and Addie that I wouldn't worry about it and start a new pack after this period.
Well, apparently we've both been hit by the horny fairy, because we've been doing it every night. Last week, I had these wierd cramps in my lower abdomen. So I looked up symptoms and it sounds just like ovulation pains (it would also be about the time for ovulation). And since we've been having sex so often it's very likely I could be pregnant! Plus yesterday I had a little bit of "spotting" that could have been implantation spotting (I had that with Addie). I can't really test until Saturday at the earliest and even that will be early. Plus I just really have the feeling that I am pregnant.
We thought we were done with the two and weren't planning on having more, plus Addie is only 7 months old. But I must say I'm kind of hoping I am pregnant. Even though it will hard having 3 under 4. (Noah would just be 3 when this one is due)
Thanks for "listening" to me ramble and please pass on any advice you may have about having children this close in age.

I moved it over to the Parenting board, I didn't mean to post it on this board. I know it must be hard to hear about someone possibly pregnant with their third when you're trying so hard on your first. I remember, I was there not too long ago. I apologize if I offended anyone.
Wow, I really need to learn the abbreviations for the Bump. I'm still on DD as meaning Dear/Darling Daughter. And obvisouly this is not the case. Someone help a Bump Newbie out, is there a glossary?

Thank you! And I found the glossary, this one needs to be added, it's not on there. I was thinking DD was also "Daily Drama", was that on another Community Forum I was a member of.

What's Cookin?
Thank god there are cookies.
Honestly, first I would confirm you are pregnant, then I would worry about the having 3 children this close in age thing. Cart, horse. Good luck.
edited to add: most of us are still working on baby 1 and 2, so I doubt you will get much helpful advice here.

LMAO.
Did you POAS yet? Or are you just guessing?
I prefer the wait it out method... If a baby pops out of your vag in about 9 months, congrats! I guess you were indeed pregnant!

Thanks. Charmed is a bit of a guilty pleasure and I have a slight girl-crush on Alyssa Milano.
I have one on Holly Marie Combs, I want to be her when I grow up. Mostly for the hair.
