Oh my goodness!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Kris it must be in the water, because I found out that my cousin's wife is expecting her third- she just had a baby 8 months ago- they will be 16 mos apart.

Have a healthy nine months! When are you due?

Wow

Thanks guys...and here I worried about what everyone would say...hence the lack of spreading around the 'joyful news'. Despite the fact that we basically threw away birth control after last months little oops that wasn't....we are totally and completely shocked. I have already taken 3 tests . I'm going through a wide variety of emotions which include excitement and happiness...and the 'oh my God, what have we done' kind of dread (This includes the memory of three previous rather eventful deliveries and my promise to myself after Alex was born that I'd never go through it again 8O .... so I can angst out over THAT for 9 months

When I was sure that the test was definately positive, I went and bought a little bib that said "I love Daddy" and some little baby mocassins...(Thomas' favorite kind of shoe) and wrapped them up in a gift bag for Thomas. He opened it up and had no idea of why I might give him something like that...then he was jumping all around saying that he 'knew his little men were good swimmers '...pllleaaase!

We were going to wait and tell the kids in a couple of months once we've passed the first couple of months of uncertainty.....but my oldest was EAVESDROPPING on us. At breakfast the next morning, he announced to Amanda "Mommy is pregnant..she is having a baby". I asked him where he heard it and he confessed to listening to our conversation. So....they were both dancing around the table. A conversation later in the day with Amanda's teacher confirmed how excited she is: Her teacher asked me "do you have some...news to tell me?"....AND Amanda and her friends sat down during class and made a list of boy and girl names. It will be a long 9 months for her!!!!!

I was most worried about Alex because he has been the baby for so long....I was afraid that he wouldn't adapt and so I didn't say anything to him about it. Last night when we went to K-Mart he picked out a pair of little newborn green fuzzy bunny slippers and brought them to me..."for the baby", he said. Of course I bought them....and he has them tucked away already....Apparently, he caught on w/o me saying anything.

I feel sort of...jinxed about it all now....I really wanted to wait until things were more settled to tell the kids and I'm paranoid that something bad will happen.........

btw...I still haven't told my parents

That is so exciting, scary, and wonderful! Congratulations!

Now that you've had children in various stages of your husband's medical training and your own education I wonder how having a baby while he's "finished" and you're "finished" will compare? Sounds like an exciting thing to find out (ie you won't have times with no diapers left and no money to buy them woohoo!).

Sending much happiness and smiles your way!
