freaking out a little.

So short story... I am in school and will graduate in September. DH and I have an almost 3 year old son. I just took a pregnancy test and it was positive not something we were planning. I feel so many things and quite frankly none of them are happy. I am scared that no one will hire me because I am pregnant and our son is a bit of a handful right now and I am not sure how I can handle two kids. I am also sad for my son because I don't want him to think that we weren't happy with just him and I'm scared on how he will react to the new baby. I know that most of these will go away with time but if some of you can share similar stories I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks girls.

Re: freaking out a little.
I freaked out when I was pregnant with DS2 and he WAS planned. I just wasn't expecting it so quickly and I immediately started thinking about DS1 and how horrible it would be for him, etc. etc. I spent a lot of time crying about it because DS was going to be 3 when the baby came, and that is a lot of time to be used to having your parents all to yourself. I slowly got over it during my pregnancy (and obviously I love DS2 and cannot imagine life without him), but I think some of those feelings are completely and totally normal.
Honestly, DS1 is SO SO good with DS2. He has his own issues, because he is 3 (lol), but he is always awesome around his little brother and he loves being a big brother. I'm really glad he has a sibling, not just someone to grow up with, but someone to be there when they get older. Watching them together even at this age makes my heart melt, so I can only imagine when DS2 gets a little older and more interactive.
