Trying to wrap my head around this...

The reason I haven't gotten AF this month is because I'm KU!
A child is such a blessing, I've always wanted 2, we DTD without preventing for several months but then we were like it's just not the right time and we should wait. The last few times we DTD we "prevented" (ie. pull and pray). And we hardly even have sex anymore! I'm completely shocked!! And thrilled!!!
But I'm terrified at the same time! Our relationship has been rocky (we see the marriage counselor more regularly now which is helping). They will be only 21 months apart...how can I give my love and attention to JT the way he should receive it and still give love and attention to another LO? Sounds silly but I have to give up my closet to turn it into a nursery (it is a whole bedroom)...where will I put that stuff? Can we fit in this house comfortably??
AAAAGGGGGGHHHHHHH......I also hope I can be a fun, loving mom who can give JT what he needs and wants when I'm a big fat pregnant lady...I hope I don't take away from this fun summer when he'll be running around the yard playing on his new swing set and swimming in our pool. Oh my goodness, my emotions are running wild (can you tell?!) DH is so freaking happy and tries as best he can to calm all of my fears but why the heck am I so fearful?

Re: Trying to wrap my head around this...
Now that I have gotten back up off the floor...I have tears of happiness for you!!
Everything you are saying are completely normal feelings, and I will bet you that SweetH and MrsH have had similar feelings. Its overwhelming! You are a fab mom, I can just tell. You are giving JT such a wonderful blessing of a sibling so close in age.
I am so happy for you, I wish I could tell ppl IRL without sounding insane. LOL.
You will be great MrslynnyD, I j ust know it!!!
I bought a "Big Brother" t-shirt yesterday and had JT wear it when DH came home. I took a picture of his face - priceless! I am dying to tell everyone else but am not sure if I should wait or not...I had a c-section so what happens if she didn't put me back together well and I have a problem (another crazy fear). I might just spill the beans to my family tomorrow...I can't keep a secret. And if something does happen I'll need their prayers and support. It's nuts, in a good way.
ALL OF THIS! CONGRATS (I'M YELLING!)
With as many c-sections that are done, i'm sure you are just fine. I can completely understand having a fear over that thought. Why do you think I am too afraid to have another? Sometimes irrational fears get the best of us.
I literally had tears in my eyes for you, which is hilarious because I only know you on the internet. I am so happy that your H is estatic! I dont see any problem telling your family, I told within hours of my BFP. You are right, you will want their support through the goodtimes and the bad. Have you made a drs appmnt yet to see how far you are?
Wow - CONGRATS!!
It will be fine. You'll find a way to give both children what they need from you.
Glad you DH is so happy about this. Both of my pregnancies I was bawling when I found out because it was not on my timing. Both times DH just laughed and said we will be fine.
Yeah, I called them last night. My appointment is February 16th. She doesn't even do an ultrasound there so I won't know until some time after that even. I am guessing I'm about 3 weeks - we DTD after Christmas in front of the Christmas tree with a fire going in the fire place. I'm pretty sure that's when it must have happened.
I know I'm going to be met with mixed emotions as far as family goes but I'm sure most will be happy (and the rest will come around).
You know, it also reminds me that it's good I didn't try snowboarding for the first time this past weekend!! Guess my Nanny getting blown away by the wind happened for a reason. Poor lady.
Oh la la!!!!
AHHHHH!!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!! It's probably good I don't know you IRL because I would probably be hugging you and jumping up and down right now.
Everything your feeling is totally normal. I still go between feelings of "How am I going to do this?" and "I can't wait, I'm so excited!". You're going to do great and the fact that you and your H are already seeing a counselor is a giant step in the right direction. Congratulations!
Yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!! Congrats woman!!!! ::hugs:: You will be just fine and i'm pretty sure it's normal to freak out
I can't wait till your first Drs appointment and you better share ultrasound pictures!!
Thank you everyone!!
And kknapp -- I'm glad to hear your parents are so excited now...it's just around the corner for you!!
I wish I could hug you guys IRL too - I haven't told anyone but my H and he told my FIL today while they were at work. Tomorrow I'll spill the beans to my mom and Nanny.
How are you going to tell them? Any special way?
Marsam - I'll probably have him wear the Big Brother t-shirt tomorrow under his hoodie then tell my mom to check out how cute his t-shirt is. Nothing crazy.
Ffejsgirl - how can I figure out how far along I am? I don't know when I ovulated. The first day of my last period was 12/14. I have no idea when the other times we had sex were...but I do remember one of the times was like on 12/26 or so. It could have happened before (or after but that's unlikely).... If you think I could be 5 weeks I should make my appointment sooner!!!!
I would go by when the 1st day of your last period was. Even if you ovulated late you said your last couple cycles have been 30ish days so I think it's safe to say you're at least 4 weeks. If you conceived on 12/26 that would make you 5 weeks & 3 days along. You are 2 weeks pregnant already the day you conceive if that makes sense. Here's a calculator I found that may be helpful.

I was always confused on how they did it too, until someone finally explained it to me. Because I knew the exact date we did it, ya know. Welp, congrats on being 5 weeks already! lol
So I don't believe in psychics...well I do sort of...I like to hear what they say to other people but I'm always so skeptical of it. However, I went to this psychic that charges $160 per hour a few months back. My mom, aunt, and uncle were going but when my uncle backed out I decided to take the spot. They had it planned for months and my mom agreed to spot me the money (never paid her back either, bum I am!) The psychic told me I would be having a baby or conceiving a baby in the month of September (not necessarily this September - they don't really have a great concept of time). Holy Sh!tballs.

Congratulations!!!
I totally get all the different emotions you're feeling. When I was pregnant, I read something that said that a lot of emotions accompany pregnancy and not to waste energy pretending you're not feeling something. Just embrace each emotion and try not to feel guilty about it. Many times when I was pregnant with DD I felt scared that I was in over my head. (And honestly, I have days where I feel that way too.) It's all normal and when you are cuddling your tiny baby you will be great.
And I'm sure you'll have an easy and quick pregnancy - in this thread alone you've gone from 3 weeks to 6!
