Intro and dilemma...

in Two Under 2

Hey everyone... It was suggested that I put my post over here...so I apologize if you have seen this already.   

Right now my head is all over the place.  Just found out that I am pg again.  We weren't planning to have another baby for at least 2 years.  I know it can be done (with 2 so close in age), but I'm so confused right now b/c he doesn't think we are ready yet.  Plus, I cannot reach my dr's office until Monday to set up an appointment to come in.

    Can I ask what you're considering?  I mean are you not wanting this baby or just in shock right now?  I can imagine how scary this may seem.  How old is your baby?  9 months?  Thats how far along I was when we finally got the BFP for this one after 5 cycles of TTC.  They will be about 18mo apart, which in all honesty, is the best age range!  Your DD will not be as selfish as if you were to have waited until 2 or 3 to TTC again.  This very well could be a blessing, but I don't know your situation so I dont' want to thrust my silly opinions on you...

    I found out I was pg when DS was 9 months old.  It took a couple of weeks for the news the sink in - I was so upset at first!

    DD has been here for almost a month and so far, so good.  It's not easy but it is managable!  DS loves his sister and really likes to help out (getting bottles, diapers, dancing for her when she cries). My DH has really long hours (gone for 14+ hours a day) but we're making it work!

    At first, I didn't want kids this close together.  However, after living with it for almost a month, I don't think I would have it any other way.  It's been truly a blessing for us.  I'm a big believer that things happen for a reason!

    Good Luck!

    I can honestly say that I am the one in shock and he doesn't want the baby... DD is almost 9 months.  I've always wanted to be a SAHM, but with the DD it wasn't financially possible at the time - so money would be an issue.  I have the means to replace my current income so I can stay home, but I haven't been on top of that lately.  Maybe this is the push I need to make it happen (i.e. a blessing in disguise like you say).  I just don't know.

    Oh sweetie I know how you feel.  DS was nine months when we got an "accidental" BFP.  I was shocked, I cried, etc.  Give it a week and see how you feel.  You might surprise yourself.  Now, I am so happy that they will be close.  GL....

    We were in the same place you are right now.

    It took 8m for me to accept what was happening. 

    Julia filled a hole I did not know I had in my life. She is my heart and the best surprise of our lives. She is magical and wonderful. I regret every tear I cried leading up to her birth. 

    It is SO wonderful I can even express in words.
