Well, I tested

BFP!
I feel like a stupid teenager saying I am in complete shock & I don't know how it happened b/c we only did it once.
ok, it was more like 3 times, but (tmi) we used the withdrawl method which we've used for years. While I know that is an ineffective method of bc, it did work for us...till now!
I can't remember when my last period was & I don't know the dates we had sex. lol, what a mess!
As I'm mentioned before, MH was feeling more ready for #2 than me. I like the idea of having 2, but get some overwhelmed thinking of the reality of it.
There are so many worries in my head right now. I don't know where we will fit another baby in this small house, my job is kinda iffy right now b/c it might be going through a transition next month. And my WFH position is very ideal right now b/c we can't afford FT daycare center costs.
Then of course there's my selfish feelings of how I just don't want to take attention away from DS in any way. I love what we have right now. It makes me sad already just knowing I am distracted right now & even this morning after I tested, I was just going through the motions of playing with him. And I can't imagine keeping up with him while being pg. Plus he is still waking at night & I am thinking of how it was so hard to sleep while being pg, so add those 2 things together & when the helll am I going to sleep?
I just keep thinking about how when we got PG last time, which was completely planned, how we were still house hunting & so where we were even going to live was an unknown. We didn't figure out our current daycare situation till last minute, and in the end, things worked themselves out. So, I just have to trust things will work out this time, too.
I realize this is coming off probably ungrateful & depressing & it's probably more than I should even be typing right now, so please bear with me while this all sinks in!

Re: Well, I tested
OMG!!!!!! Congratulations!!!!
It's ok to feel unsure! It's not ungrateful to be stressed about the thought of another LO in the house! You will get used to the idea. I think that's why the gods give us 9 months to prep
Yay!!!
Now I hope we can get together soon so I can see your pregnant glow!
Wow! Congrats! And as everyone has said - it's normal to have misgivings and you have plenty of time to figure it all out.
This board must multiply the chances of pregnancy by a factor of 10 or something!!!
Congratulations!
I think it's totally normal to be wigged out about number 2, particularly when you weren't actively trying. I'll bet you get more excited as it all starts to sink in. Just think how much fun DS will have being an older brother and showing #2 the ropes.
BFP #2 5/27/12. EDD 2/1/13. m/c and D&C 6/21/12.
Congrats!!!
Take a deep breath and know that things always work themselves out
Thank you everyone for your kind words!
This HAS to be what happened, but really I'm still trying to make sense of how/when this happened!
i was just coming online to see if you tested! congrats to your family!! cant blame you for stressing a little...as im freaking out too...
but all in all, family is a good thing!
as for where will you fit the kids in the house??? we are in the same boat. and our motto is....co-sleep until they are old enough to "stack 'em up"!
now, im really starting to wonder how many december 2010 mamas are expecting again. its almost like we have enough for "labor buddies" without venturing to another board!
Yes yes yes!! This is fantastic!
Congrats, mama! And, like other posters said, you'll get used to the idea and grow more excited as you go along. Anthony's going to be a GREAT big brother!
Congrats!! Try not to think about what DS1 is like NOW- he'll be a totally different kid in 9 mo. And hopefully STTN!
I was happy, scared, nervous at first. I think m/s was the worst part- poor #1 had to watch me puke a few times. But it's short lived in the scheme of things. And watching them start to play together now fills my eyes with tears- they are too friggin' cute for words!
Congrats!!!!! Welcome to the soon-to-be 2u2 club!!!
We are definitely a little stressed about fitting two babies in our small house. And there are so many unknown factors with adding another baby to the mix at this point.
But we know that obviously it's going to be totally worth it once we have that squishy newborn in our arms and DS will have an instant playmate growing up. Until they are pre-teens and hate eachother...haha.
:::walks away from the board...:::
Seriously I will see you all in July when we're ready to TTC
jokes. congrats Bosha!
My little man at 0-1-2
WOW! Congrats, beautiful!
You should have seen his face last night when I told him I hadn't gotten AF yet, so I bought a test. Totally perplexed on how it could have even been a possibility.
So I took the test while he was giving DS breakfast & I came out with it & we both shrugged our shoulders staring at it, lol. And then just like last time, he said, "well, we'll wait & see what the doctor says!"
Congratulations! We were trying for Asher, but when I got pregnant with him I still had most of the fears / concerns you mentioned. The work and space stuff turned out to be less of an issue than I ever thought it would be. Being pregnant and then having a new baby did take some time away from DD, but it ended up being at a time when she was starting to appreciate playing by herself. Now that she is old enough to really want friends, Asher is old enough to be one.
Everything always works out. You will start to feel better as time goes on. You don't sound ungrateful at all. I think you just sound like a good mommy who is concerned about giving your kiddos the very best.

Awww, congrats! I totally can get where you're coming from. We were TTC for years before I got pregnant, but I can't imagine getting a BFP right now unexpectedly. Hang in there - you know we won't judge you for any emotions you are feeling!
