New here, joined to ask some co-sleeping questions about my TEN MONTH OLD and today found out we're preggo. Oh boy. LOL

I'm Evin, Due, based on LMP, March 18th, but I'm sure that'll change.

I can't remember what all I'm supposed to answer, so here's the details -

This'll be baby #3, I've got a 5 yr old boy, Tristan, from a previous relationship, and a little girl, 10 month old, Marian. We're hoping for a boy, he'll be Augustus Maxwell (was the name we had planned for Marian if she'd been a boy - Lonesome Dove meets Where the Wild Things Are)

This is a .. well, I'll say a surprise blessing. I JUST took the test 2 hrs ago, still freaked out.

I hope that's everything! Ask, if there's anything more - my life is an open book.

Oh...Still BFing Marian, plan to continue. Between pregnancy, BF and gastric bypass, I'm a little concerned about MY nutrition, but any excuse to eat 10 times a day, right??

Oh yeah - Son Tristan was an induction due to PIH, daughter was planned to be a water birth at the midwifes office, but she didn't want to come out, so we had another induction at the hospital (boo) so, since our insurance won't cover midwifery and we're still paying off the last one, I plan on being the most obnoxious patient any OB's ever had.
