OMG, that is a BFP

mrswags05

I'm mostly a lurker and don't post much, but just tested - twice - and am definitely pregnant.  DS is 13 months old.  We've been talking about number two but not - ahem - doing much about it, so I didn't really expect it.  I'm...excited, scared to death, in shock, a little confused (really, really, didn't think the timing was right!), and did I mention excited and scared?  

Haven't told DH yet...I think it will be a good father's day present.  But...OMG...

Please tell me I can do this.  And that the sorta-kinda bad timing won't matter in the end.  (I'm trying to finish up a PhD...)

Congrats! I felt excited but scared to death when I got my BFP- you have a whole 9 months to lose the scared to death feeling..although I still get waves of it every now and then

You sound like I did a few months ago...although, DH and I had been discussing possibly only having one.

I'm still scared. I figure there's not much I can do about it (and don't want to do about it either) plus, why not just enjoy it? It's going to be SO much fun to watch two babies interact.

Congrats! You can do it!

Congrats!

Congrats! It's scary, I know- I've done the 2 under 2 thing twice now. And I know its not the same as a PhD, but I was pg w/#3 in undergrad and he was born 8wks before I started nursing school- Then almost halfway thru nursing school I found out I was pg w/#4! She came in Feb, and I graduate this Sept!! Believe me, if I can do it so can you! I may be hard, but totally worth it

Congrats!  I was in a similar place as you a few months ago.  The shock has worn off and now we're elated!  Happy and Healthy!

Congrats! 

I just found this board today, so I just saw your post.  My little guy is 19m old now and will be 25m when baby #2 arrives (not really 2 under 2, but close enough!).

I just wanted to tell you that I'm also finishing up a PhD, so I feel your anxiety!

cmucouple...you don't happen to be from Pittsburgh do you?  Black and gold...CMU...just curious.    I grew up there and we're planning to move back in a year or two.

That's the same exact age difference between our dd and ds. It is hard, don't get me wrong, but you learn to adapt. My dd has also started helping me out with the baby. She brings stuff for him, and rocks him when he cries---it's really cute. Don't worry, it's hard in the beginning, but once the baby starts playing they will be able to play together, so I think it will get a lot easier.  I'm soooo waiting for that point!
