Hey y'all. I'm pregnant again. I found out the day after Milo's first birthday, so a few weeks ago. I wasn't super thrilled about it at first because it's unplanned/unintentional. I don't know if I can really call it a surprise, because we had sex twice without condoms, but I didn't know I was ovulating/it was only my second PP cycle/you're not supposed to be as fertile the first few PP cycles/it took 5 months of EOD sex to conceive Milo. Blah blah, excuses. ANYWAY, I was nervous to share with you guys because I wasn't in a great headspace about it and I didn't want to hurt anybody
We had an early ultrasound yesterday to make sure it isn't ectopic (I'm at a higher risk because of scarring from my surgery). For some reason I was SO WORRIED about the ultrasound, but everything was fine! We saw a cute little heartbeat. The ultrasound tech pegged me at 5w5d, but I think I'm more like 6w3d. LMP suggests 7w. I have to get a dating ultrasound done later, apparently.
I'm really excited now, but still pretty scared. Milo will only be 20 months older than this baby (who is due sometime in March, depending). We told my sister this morning and will tell our parents this weekend.
Anyway, I felt so weird not telling you guys right away, but I think now is an okay time to spill the beans. Sorry this is long and rambly, I have a lot of feelings!
So many congrats! I'm so happy for you guys! I think your feelings are normal...we aren't trying/aren't preventing and would love a similar age gap but not going to lie in that I would worry about the first couple months. All that to say-you've got this mama!! Also, go check out the thread on MMM about 0-1 vs 1-2...might make you feel a little better .
Congrats! I haven't posted here in forever but wanted to say that I am 2 months into a 14.5 month age gap with a second unplanned pregnancy. We did plan on having two kids but certainly not this close together, but we also battled infertility with our first so maybe a blessing in disguise.. I won't lie, it has been really really hard, but the thing that keeps me going is thinking that one day soon these girls will be best friends! Let me know if you have questions!
