Found out today that I am pregnant! This is a big shock, given that we were taking a 2 month break from fertility treatments. I almost didn't POAS because I thought it would be impossible that I was pregnant. Well, the RE's office confirmed it today with bloodwork.
I'm so excited, yet so nervous. One of the big things I'm nervous about is lack of sleep. Our LO now will either STTN or wake up once. But back in the day when she was little and we were sleep deprived, it was really tough. It affects our moods and we had a hard time connecting. I'm nervous about going through that phase again.
Any advice or support would be appreciated!

DD1 had been a horrible sleeper as a baby but DD2 was the exact opposite. Her sleep didn't go downhill until she turned 6 months and started teething. Hopefully you'll get a good sleeper the 2nd time around. No real advice for you on that front. Just take one day at a time and, before you know it, they'll both be STTN
CONGRATS!!! Not gonna sugar coat it...the first weeks/months are HARD. DS was a completely AWESOME sleeper from the get-go...we had to do a bit of CIO for about a week, but that's it. Now, DD, on the other hand, SUCKS at sleeping. If she had been our 1st baby, she'd be an only child...
But you WILL be able to get through it again, and hopefully your LO holds true to the idea that your 2nd child is opposite of your 1st!!! I think of it this way...I'll sleep when I'm DEAD!!! LOL Because seriously, if you think that the only time you won't sleep is when they're newborns, you're mistaken...can you imagine when they start to DRIVE???? I for real plan to not sleep well ever, ever again...
