ooops...i did it again?

sharsachan · 09-09-2008, 01:06 PM

so it looks like my little gary will be a big brother by next summer.

i haven't been to a doctor yet as i just tested positive a couple days ago and the dr i used for gary's pregnancy won't see until 8-10 weeks and i need to do my application for medicaid anyway, but according to pregnancy.org's due date calculator, this baby is due exactly one month after gary was born, on may 18th.

we were not planning a child so soon after gary. we're both happy, but we're worried about money.

i'm hoping for a girl this time.

my friend's little sisters are 15 months apart and while her mother felt they were too close, the girls didn't mind at all. they were only a grade apart in school so they could alwase talk about the day and have someone who know what they were talking about. i know brothers and sisters have different relationships from sisters and sisters but i'm still hoping that it will be good for them.

if i get another boy then they'll have each other to rough house with and break things together XD

so i guess it's not so bad for them to be close, gary won't really have to adjust to not being an only child as he'll be just over a year and won't remember being spoiled too much when the new baby comes. and he'll have someone to play with instead of demanding mom and dad all the time [i was an only child until i was 11 years old and not many kids lived in my neighborhood so i played with parents often]

however i expect to be exhausted next summer, having a new born up all night and a one year old running around.

hopfully this baby is as good as gary was/is. he almost never cries and if he does it's only when he's hungry. my brother suffered horrible colic and i just remember screaming forever with him so having gary be so great was a blessing. i'm hoping baby #2 follows the same path.

we have decided not to tell our families yetas we're just not quite sure what to say. gary is not even 5 months old yet and i'm already cooking another bun. hmmm.

but yeah, i guess i'll be frequenting this board more than i have been again.

the attached pic is gary at 3 months XD

Congrats!!!

Wow....congratulations!!! My best friend had her two about a year apart. It was hell at first because both were in diapers at the same time, but as the oldest got a little older, it became easier and easier! Good luck!! Cat

Wow! Congratulations! You are very fertile!

My sister and I are about 18 mos. apart and she is my best friend.

How are you feeling now?

sharsachan · 09-09-2008, 01:55 PM

a bit overwhelmed and surprised. physically i haven't noticed any symptoms yet aside from the MIA period, but that was the same at the beginning of gary's pregnancy as well. i never experienced morning sickness or sore/tender breasts with him. around the second month until about the fifth month though i swear i slept 16 hours a day, only being awake for the 8 hours i had to work. i would get home from work and fall into bed, sleep until i had to get up the next day for work. i would only get up to pee or eat and then i was immediately sleeping again. i'm hoping that doesn't happen again or i'm going to be extremely exhausted since gary does not sleep that much XD

congrats!

I fell pregnant again within two weeks after having Scarlet-Rose.
The doctor insisted on 4 different brand tests, as he couldn't believe it was possible.
Miscarried, but I didn't really mind. I was in the midst of post natal depression and being pregnant wouldnt've helped.

We were having sex up until the day I was induced, and then started again the day after I had her....that explains it...
