D.C. Area Babies

Ummm, yeah, remember when I said BFN? Welll....

...I obviously had tested too early a few days ago, because this morning - BFP!

DH and I are in shock.

I only know one person on this board IRL so Christine - mum's the word - we won't tell close family until after the first dr. appt. and we won't tell the rest of the world until about ten weeks (at least that's what I've done the last two times).

So yeah, we're in shock.  We had stopped preventing, but this is from the ONE time right after we stopped preventing.  ONE TIME people.  Let this be a warning!  Stick out tongue

For now I am going to push away my crushing fears about finances once we have three in daycare.  For now I'm telling myself I have about a year to figure that out (between a 40 week pregnancy and then hopefully a three month maternity leave), so we will figure it out.  Right?

  • Yes

    I'd love to have 3... but, still working on getting DH on board to start trying for the second.  Money, money, money.  Bah!

    Congrats!

  • And I just want to say thank God for this board because if I couldn't announce this to someone today I would be going completely nuts.  Telling you ladies helps me get it out, so I'm not tempted to tell the whole world yet.  So thank you in advance.

  • Wow - very exciting!  You will definitely find a way to figure things out by next spring.

    I got PG from the first time after we stopped preventing and I totally feel like an after school special :P

  • Congrats!!!! How exciting!  I hear you on the 'all it takes is once' thing - that was Molly.  Maggie took quite a few months of trying so I was in shock when we weren't trying and one slip up gave us Molly, but we always wanted 2 just not mentally ready right at that moment.

    I know 3 in daycare must sound overwhelming but won't it only be for a year? Won't #1 be going to kindergarten in about 2 years?  So hopefully it will be a short-lived financial pain.

    My prediction is little girl for 3 totally adorable sisters.  But a little brother with 2 older sisters to dress him up like a princess is cute too :-)

  • Wow--congratulations!!!

    Deep breath for you on the finances part--you'll figure it out!

  • LOL this totally made me smile this morning despite feeling like poo.  Congratulations!  Things seem to fall into place and you guys will make it work nonetheless.  Again, Whoohoo...Congratulations Party!!!

    Yes - this is what I'm telling myself. 

    Two other big expenses:  we now need a minivan and I'll have to take LWOP (again).

  • Yay!!! I was a little sad for you when you posted about the BFN, so I am extremely happy for you! I have no doubt you will make things work financially; you were on tv about your finances for pete's sake. Wink

    Congratulations!!!

  • wow. WOW. Congratulations!! It only takes once!

    And I know it's early, but like PP said, I'm going to go ahead and say THREE girls for the Artslvr family!

  • CONGRATULATIONS! A Christmas baby! how exciting. I know you were worried about being too old when #3 came alone, but now you'll be a little bit younger when that happens! That is really fantastic news and I'm so happy for your family.

    My cousin has 3 girls (and her brother is about to) and they are so close. It's nice to have the 3rd as a "referee" :)

    It took us a year w/ DD and we were not trying for this one, I was still BFing but only twice a day and not preventing, so I did not actually find out till I was almost 7 weeks pregnant (never got my period back), but it was so nice for it to "just happen" without all the TTC heartache.

    I hope you have an easy pregnancy!

  • Wow, congratulations!!!!!

    And re: one time not preventing [looks at self]. Yeah, it happens. Embarrassed

  • Congrats!!  That is awesome news:) 

    And don't worry - things will work themselves out...I like this saying - "Things always work out in the end.  If they haven't worked out yet, it isn't the end yet."

  • WOW!!!!!! Congratulations!!!! That's so exciting! So happy for you!

     

    And, here's to hoping that this pregnancy is easier for you than the last! Drinks

  • Congratulations!  How exciting.  Over here in the Jellisy family we know a lot about the "one time" pregnancy.  It's been a blessing for us.  I am certain number 3 will be a blessing as well for you.
