Suprise!

[Free Thinker]

Anyone else here by "accident"? How are you coping? I am on CD 34, so several days late. I tested last night and it was definately a BFP! I took the other test just to make sure. My head is spinning. This is not in our "plan" and will throw some of our plans off for a while. I am happy, excited, nervous and really scared about taking care of 3 kids, plus all of my other work. I am almost embarrased b/c this baby is such a shock, and we have repeatedly said we don't want any for at least 2 more years. We are not teenagers, and we KNOW how babies get here Still not sure exactly how it happened time-wise, though.

uh huh..this is a bit of a surprise.. we were actively trying NOT to (especially dp) though i really did want another one some time soonish.. but now that im actually pregnant and not just baby lusting im a bit freaked out...actually really freaked out!
3 is a big number! my baby is still nursing..we are moving soon to a place where there are no midwives anywhere near.. its all kind of overwhelming..but it will work out and i know that things happen for a reason.

This particular baby was not really a surprise. We weren't actively charting, but we were considering... However DD#2 was a TOTAL surprise. (Not that we were trying NOT to, we were just a bit too relaxed and not really paying attention.) I never planned on having two babies so close together (my girls are 12 months and 1 day apart), but everything has worked out beautifully.

I came from a large family (7), and always wanted a big family myself, so I'm grateful that I'm getting them close, so I can have more. From what I hear, (you other BTDT moms can chime in on this too ) going from 2 to 3 is much easier than 1 to 2, just because the first two can play together. But, I suppose that probably has something to do with the ages of the kiddos.

My baby is also still nursing, and we're also moving... though, thankfully we're moving to Oregon where there are LOTS of options for birthing.

I must admit that this wasn't the month I'd been hoping to have a baby. We were supposed to come back for Utah at Christmas... but, unless I end up with twins and deliver in November or something.... that's not happening. oh, well...

This baby was a complete "accident" My son is not even 3 months old yet. I have a tendancy to have birth control not really work lol. I didnt even want to go back on b/c, not because I wanted another baby but because I didnt want to wait for my system to be back to normal when we did want to try again. So we had had sex 2 times, I was on the pill and used condoms and sure enough here I am pregnant!!! I couldnt be happier though. DH is still not so sure about it but he will be in time.

This baby is a surprise for me also - although not as much of a surprise as for most of you. : We were going to start trying for #2 in a few months. We didn't want the due date to be so close to the holidays. We had just decided to push back trying even further until ds was 3 (June of 08).

I actually took the test so we could see it was neg. and stop worrying about it and talking about what if. Well, I guess we stopped talking "what if". . . .

I think I am mostly in denial. I am coming out of denial a bit but it doesn't seem real at all to me.

Oh, yeah, me too!!!

I was crying as soon as I realized I had ovulated. We had sex on day 11, the next day I thought maybe we should have used a condom since I might O as early as CD 16. But I just dismissed the thought. By CD 14, my temp was high. I thought it was a fluke, but it just stayed high. . . .

I've only ever ovulated this early once before, and I was taking Vitex at the time!!! I couldn't believe it! I'm finally getting used to the idea of being pregnant. I'm no longer miserable at the thought, but I'm not yet thrilled. I just hope I'm there by Christmas. . . .

(I'm also NOT looking forward to becoming a SAHM. I realize this isn't PC, but I just got a new job with great benefits! I'm settling into a new schedule, we're remodeling the bathrooms. I thought I was going to get to "stay here" a while!!)

We'll all get through it, I'm sure.

not a surprise in the same way as others in this thread, but we were shocked because we don't even remember DTD last month. DH spent a good portion of the month traveling and when he wasn't I had AF. I must have a very SMALL window.

Count us in : We just decided to start "trying" in July. Well, no need! Dh commented that just once he wanted to actually "try". He he he!

We (obviously) were not as careful as we should have been, and we are open to this, but I am studying for licensure and we are buying a house and if I stop to think about all of it for too long...well my head would spin!

Dd was a suprise honeymoon baby after I was told I probably couldn't have children, so we are pros at this.

[my kidlets and me]

Oh, yes! Mind you, not an unwelcome surprise, as we were planning to TTC starting in August or so (for a spring baby). But I'm still in shock a little. I only POAS on Saturday because I hadn't had AF for 6 weeks and we had bought some yummy cider to drink that night and I wanted to be absolutely sure before I drank it. Oops. It's still sitting in the fridge.
