Aw congratulations! Your little ones will be so close in age, they'll be best of friends.
I know it's probably tough to have it happen when you didn't quite expect it yet, but there are many positives to doing it this way. Your first LO will never really have a chance to understand much about being an "only child" and so probably won't get very jealous when new baby comes. They'll be good friends, you don't have to go to the trouble of getting back in shape. They'll be born at the same time of year so if this one is a boy too you have all the clothes. And when others of us are dealing with toddler tantrums combined with newborn demands, you'll be long past that stage...
Not sure how many you plan on having, but if only two then you are "done" after this and can close the door on baby-stuff and move forward with your family?
And if you are not done with 2 you have a bit of leeway to wait a few years for the next?
Sorry for all this, really I'm thinking of all the things I'll be saying to myself if/when this happens to me. I think every situation has it's positives and negatives, as all the other moms of 2u2 will likely tell you!
Good luck! Can't wait to see your new pregnancy ticker pop up! hmmm I wonder if people getting pregnant on this board, pregnancy tickers popping up in siggies.. is going to create even more baby fever...

Thank you all for the congrats and well wishes! I am thinking of the positives. My husband and I are both only children so I am hoping that my children will be close and have a good relationship.
Congrats! I am as well. Francesca is five months, and I will be 12 weeks tomorrow. I am so scared, but I know it will all work out. The babe's should love this. Siblings should be very close.
Either way congrats. I would definitely see about getting that dating u/s much sooner. You could very well be out of the first trimester by then.
ETA: it states 9/12/12 for LMP, o 9/26/12, 2nd tri 12/5/12, 3rd Tri 2/27/13, EDD 6/19/13 if you can't see it.

Not yet...I probably won't find out at least until October. My guess would be sometime in mid June
Thanks for all this!

huh?
Why the wait?, I would just use an online calculator. Then again I am a little OCD and would need to know my EDD ASAP.
Anyhow, congrats!!!!
You must mean mid-May because mid-June EDD would just start their periods.
