! It's faint but it is definitely there! I'm in shock! I'm excited but we hadn't intended on them being this close! I guess things happen for a reason.... Of course, there's the financial aspect too as we are still paying off Cody's hospital bills. Hopefully, everything will work itself out. Now, I just have to find an OB in my new area!

Wow! Congratulations! I know it seems close, but you will LOVE it! I wouldn't have mine any other way now that they are both here! Yippee!!! So when are you due?

I'm due Aug. 6 or 7. I will probably deliver earlier, esp if I have another c-section. I will probably be asking you for lots of advice!

Here's my advice:
1. Sleep while you can. It's harder with two because when one is asleep, the other is almost certinly going to be awake, so no naps for you!
2. Get help for the first few days if you can. Have your DH stay home with you or something! With your hormones being all whacked out from just having a baby, you will need someone to help you with Cody so you can focus on the new baby without feeling like Cody is being ignored! I remember crying the first week because I felt like I had abandoned Alex. It really helped to have DH take him out and play with him!
3. Be prepared for this pg to go waaaaay faster than your first one. You are busy with Cody and won't have time to sit and think "are we there yet"! It will be time to have the baby before you know it! Cherish the time you are pg!
4. Finally, enjoy your time as a family of 3! There will be things you won't do for a while after the new baby gets here, which isn't necessarily bad! Go to a movie now, go out to eat now! Take a vacation now! It is more difficult to do those things with 2 babies, trust me!

It's TOTALLY worth it though! Enjoy being pg again!

Thanks guys! I'm not sure if I want to find out the gender or not. It will depend on whether or not I have a c/s. If I do end up needing a planned c/s, then I'm not sure if I'll find out b/c there would be no surprises, kwim? I'm getting more excited but I still don't quite believe that it's real. I'm sure it will sink in soon!
