BFP and I'm not sure how I feel
DH is very happy, but I'm a little on the fence. Truth is, we weren't really trying for #2 yet, just had 1 night of happily married unprotected sex and bam! BFP. I've been putting a lot into my career, dealing with my crazy family who are always calling on us for help, and we don't have much in aavings so I'm really just feeling like the timing was off. Like, give me 3 more months and I'll be ready to be pregnant. Plus I HATE anyone thinking that I would let this happen with planning it carefully. I think I just need some major bumping to get me all hyped up about this new little member of our family. I guess I'm going to be revisiting the Tri boards!

Re: BFP and I'm not sure how I feel
Congratulations!!!!
That's all it takes. I would have the same kind of feelings you are having if I would get a BFP right now. At least you make adorable kids (judging from your sig pics). Best wishes as you process this news!
That sort of happened to me. We wanted to start trying in the summer (since it took us a long time for my daughter and some help was needed). Well all it took was one night of unprotected sex...and I was pregnant. I was in shock. Totally happy but wow I must of stared at that test forever. It took so much anxiety, upsetment, and stress to get pregnant the first time...i just could not believe it. You will get used to the idea as the weeks pass.
BTW: Congratulations!!!!!
Hey Girl,
You'll come around soon enough. Now that you know about the BFP, just try doing what you can as far as getting to that place with work that you are comfortable with, trying to put a little extra away in savings for the next 9 months, and utilize the 1st tri board. I thought that I'd be so over the 1st tri board when i found out last week, but honestly, there are a ton of 2nd time mommy's there with good advice to share with one another as we're going through this again. Just start thinking of cute names, and teeny tiny onesies, and cute the siblings will be when the new baby arrives. Also I've totally been all about DD and soaking in every second of cuteness that she is right now, as i'll have to learn to split my attention come next spring!
Good luck!
I agree 100% here. You have some time to get used to it and I'm sure you'll feel better. You said you guys were thinking soon so you just took all the stress out of trying...one way to look at it! Congrats!
Congratulations! I know how you feel - DH and I started TTC for a few months, but when our circumstances changed (he decided to start his own business) we decided to hold off for a while. Wouldn't you know, that was our month ::points to siggy::
Honestly, I'm still a little freaked out, but I know this baby is a blessing and that it will all work out. It took a while for me to get here though. Give yourself some time.

A stowaway on board!
You sound just like me when I got my 2nd BFP. DH was ecstatic, I was not. You have 9 months to get used to the idea, and your 1st LO is going to be SO much different by the time the 2nd gets here.
I was terrified to have kids 22 months apart. Petrified. Not happy. Wanted kids 3-4 years apart.
I am SO glad I didn't get what I originally wanted (kids 3-4 years apart) - my DS2 is the best thing ever.
Congrats! Go look at some cute itty-bitty baby clothes!
CONGRATS first off. I felt the same way when I got my BFP. DH lost his job 2 weeks later. (timing is never right when it comes to having babies) It has taken some time to get used to the idea of another baby around so soon. Now i am so happy and think it will be great for them to be so close in age. What you are feeling is normal, just take your time with it.
