Unexpected pregnancy

I feel like I'm watching this happen from the outside. Never, in a million years, did I imagine this was possible. It shouldn't be, my husband had a vasectomy 11 years ago. it never even crossed my mind as being a possibility, so I have no idea what to do.
I never wanted to be pregnant, or give birth. Hence, the vasectomy. We built our family through adoption from foster care, and one child my husband had from his first marriage.
We actually kind of considered our family to be complete, but we are adopting a final child, a little boy who is due end of April. His birth mother knows us through a mutual family friend, she conceived through assault, doesn't believe in abortion, but has no desire to raise the baby.
Our kids are 17, 16, 13, 5, 2, 2, (not twins), and our little boy due next month.
I know I'm pregnant, that many tests don't lie, and I think I'm about 7 weeks, but not entirely sure, I can't really remember my last period. There's no reason to track them, since I can't get pregnant. Or so I thought.
And now I don't know what to do. I wanted to avoid this, never be in this position, and feel like I was kicked in the head.
Anyone else in a similar position, unplanned pregnancy? What about failed vasectomies? Since realizing this, I did some more reading, and apparently the failure rate increases after 10 years. I don't remember the urologist telling us this.

Re: Unexpected pregnancy
We have plenty of space, but the upstairs only has three bedrooms including the master. So even though I know this baby will be in our room for a while I’m still stumped on what do about kids sharing a bedroom eventually. Since our two are boy & girl maybe it depends on whether baby is a boy or girl?
