First congratulations on your surprise BFP. Jackson was just shy of 6 months when I got my BFP. I'm currently 8 weeks pregnant I'm still pumping although my milk has decreased but I'm being very adamant on continuing to pump. I'm starting make some lactation cookies. I can tell you my nipples have become extremely sensitive. But not enough to stop. I've noticed I need to increase my food for both pumping and the little baby in my belly. I'm not that much further ahead than you but if you have any questions please feel free to reach out.

Thanks so much. That is very kind and sweet of you! Are you as nervous as I am about having lo's about 14 months apart? Lol I know we'll make it work, it'll just be a lot of work.

Yes, initially I'm not going to lie I was terrified. But I've had a month to absorb it and the first year might be rough but after that they will pretty much be doing the same thing which I think has to be easier. Vs starting over once they past the stages. To me the hardest is my milk. I'm determined to make it work til he's 10 months. I'll have enough milk to get him to a year. I have my first appointment tomorrow so I will get my official due date. Jackson came a month early naturally so I'm planning to be ready come January not February.

That's what was thinking too, that first year would be the hardest. So far I've always had enough milk for Lilly, but have had a hard time pumping any extra. Good luck at your  appt tomorrow. I get my second betas done in the morning and I'll get the results of my first. Hopefully I'll have both by the afternoon to share.
