Well, I'm pregnant...

Aliliv · November 2009

Please give me advice, encouragement, anecdotes, etc. I'm freaking out, because this was far from planned. We actually only planned on two children. I'm happy, nervous, scared, upset, ecstatic all at once...... DH seems completely at peace with the idea and seems happy, but then again, he didn't just push a baby out 4 months ago:)

water-fairy · November 2009

Congrats!!! I would be terrified as well, good luck with everything. Sorry I don't have any words of advice.

MrsWanee · November 2009

I've had that pregnant feeling for a week and half. Both DH and I suspected as much for the past week. But, we officially found out tonight when I did the whole POAS stick thing. I guess I'll be making a dr.'s appt. tomorrow:)

CONGRATS! even though it was not in the 'plan'....babies seem to like being surprises...and some of the best ones we'll ever receive!

H&H 9months to you and your little bean Big Smile

bmcquien · November 2009

Aw! It will be okay! The plus side you have another 9 months before you have to do it again

. Hey I tired! Children are a blessing! Congrats!

PuppyMommy · November 2009

I have no advice, but I want to say congratulations!! Your kids are lucky to grow up close in age. They will be life-long buddies.

MuckDiva · November 2009

I have no stories or words of wisdom but I will say "congrats".

tlong · November 2009

congrats

jenn11980 · November 2009

I would be freaking out to, but just think of all the joy and happiness your other two children bring you and this third will give you that much more! My sister had twins the first time and less than 2 years later had another baby. It was hard, but she made it through and they all did well. Do you have family and friends around that can help you more once LO comes?

*Caress* · November 2009

Congrats! Everything will be ok.

patrickandkim · November 2009

deeanneharris · November 2009

My Mom lives 2km away and I have lots of friend close by. My MIL would be happy to stay with us as long as I needed her too, I'm sure:) I'm lucky I have a lot of support:)

Shellbelle22 · November 2009

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I completely understand that you are feeling shocked. It's so hard when a wrench is thrown into our carefully laid plans. I cannot speak from personal experience as I so far only have the one and she was planned. However, there is a poster on here who recently spoke of how her second child (with whom she got pregnant sooner than they planned) has filled a void in her life she didn't know she had. It was so touching to read and it reminded me that children are gifts, even if they come when you least expect.

borc0080 · November 2009

Congrats! Just remember ... you've done it twice and you can do it one more time. Now you're triple-blessed!

MrsWanee · November 2009

i bet your oldest daughter will be such a great helper!

rosesandpeonies · November 2009

My mom had two kids under the age of one at 42 years old. She also had me (a teenager) and my twenty yr old brother. She did great....my dad also left the house for a time after the second one was born. They are very close, and now they are 16 and 17.

Lesley0228 · November 2009

Congratulations! Best of luck to you. Some things just have a way of working out not the way we planned, but the way they were meant to be.

brideofscowboy · November 2009

Wow. My initial thought was that the SK fall/winter hasn't been THAT cold yet.. Wink . But putting the humor aside, congrats.

Babies are all blessings...planned or unplanned. Give it some time to sink it. Cry if you feel like it, be excited, allow yourself to be upset, laugh about it, etc.

Best of luck!

grinsandgiggles · November 2009

Wow! You'll do fine. Once that baby is here, you won't be able to imagine it any other way. Congrats!

T&BMay142005 · November 2009

Aliliv · November 2009

Thanks everyone! I'm sure this will be a wild ride...... I guess I won't be losing that 5 (or 10 - not really that sure) left over pregnancy pounds:)

chubabubsmom · November 2009

My neices are a yr apart and they love each other so much I mean I won't say its always peaceful but most of the time they play so well together and when they are away from each other they are always talking about each other and wonderin what the other is doing! My sister has recently gotten remarried and the guy she married had two daughters as well . 8,7,6,5 I don't know how she does it sometimes but she is a wonderful mother and step mother to all them and its always fun on holidays! I would be a little nervous too but I bet your gonna do a great job So Congrats!
