Oh boy.. here we go again!

So I'm still kind of in shock today.. I hadn't gotten my period in quite a while and was starting to think something might be wrong because I quit BF over a month ago. Well just to rule it out before going to the doctor, I decided to take a pregnancy test, I was sure it would be negative because I didn't have any symptoms and we have literally only done it once without protection since I had been off BC, but there it was, a bfp! (2 actually) Idk how we let this happen, it definitely wasn't the plan, I wanted to wait at least another year to have another. Don't get me wrong, I'm really happy and excited, but I'm just so nervous about having 2 babies! Plus I have no idea how far along I am because I was having very irregular periods. I'm feeling pretty overwhelmed and irresponsible for not being more careful, on top of being scared of something going wrong with the pregnancy since I've gone through that twice before. Any good thoughts and prayers would be very appreciated right now.

It's totally understandable that this happened and life rarely goes according to plan. Things don't always happen the way that we want them to in our ideal plan. I'm very happy and excited for you! You can totally handle two babies. I know you're stressed right now but it's going to be okay. Be gentle on yourself right now. Just look forward. I wish you all the best for a very healthy and happy pregnancy- just try to stay as calm and zen as possible and remember that what's meant to be will be. Sounds like you have a lot of strength and you can get through whatever the future holds. Sending you positive thoughts!

That's so much, I really appreciate it! :-)

How exciting!!! I know the idea of two so close together sounds scary, but you will be just fine! I am a true believer in things happening the way they are supposed to and that we are never dealt more than we can truly handle. One of my friends accidentally got pregnant when her son was 6 months old... While not in the plan they are happy, healthy and doing just fine! Don't worry, you got this!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you @borgie05! I also believe that everything happens the way it's supposed to happen.

Congratulations! My kids are 16 months apart and while this year has been difficult at times, I LOVE having my kids close in age. Once my daughter was about 7 months old, because they are close in age, they play more similarly then if they would have been further apart. They play together, are intrested in similar developmental things, similar toysand activities,  and are so much fun to watch interact. 
I was terrified leading up to my daugher's birth of having 2 'babies' at home, but I found my routine quickly and my rythm, and you will too.

Congrats! I left the bump during the admin attack but I'm back again because I also got a BFP. We were trying because of AMA. I'm also concerned about 2 under 2 but I'm so excited!

Congratulations @superfudge00! It's nice to know someone else is in the same boat.

I just got a BFP on Saturday and I feel the exact same way. I wanted to wait a year as well and just had one period since my DD was born last year. Shocked is the best way to describe it. I feel like a bad person bc I want to be wicked excited but I'm a little sad as well. I know It will be ok and that they will grow up very close. I just keep imagining what it will be like with two little ones and it kinda freaks me out.

@kerris713 I feel the same way. I feel like it's not fair that I'm not as excited about this pregnancy as I was with the last and I feel guilty that I will have to take attention away from DS who is a total momma's boy. I am sure once she is here it will be fine though.
