Congratulations Devin! That is amazing news!

My 2 boys are 16.5 months apart, and although I was very excited, I remember having the same feeling of being a bit overwhelmed and nervous. Now, they are 6 and nearly 5, and I can't imagine things any different! They are the best of friends, and I am so thankful that they have eachother. I wish you a very happy and healthy 9 months, and the best of luck with your beautiful growing family

Ditto Shimmer...That's what I was concerned about when she first told us they were trying for another baby.

Congrats Dev! Like Shimmer said, be careful and and take it easy. And may God bless you, your family, and that new little one in your tummy

Congratulations Devin I am so happy for you. It is a blessing in disguise and you will see it once the shock wears off.

I can't wait to read your baby updates again.

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Don't worry, your kids will be the best of friends being so close in age. My kids are 21 months apart and are very close.

I took an at-home pregnancy test yesterday afternoon & it was positive!

We thought about it, talked about it, & it was the right decision for us to have ourselves some closely-spaced siblings. Riley will be 4 months on June 22nd. So, this new baby will arrive when Riley is about 13 months old. Our 10 year old son is ecstatic. He's really hoping for a sister (I am, too). Of course if God only meant for me to have little boys, then that's just peachy, too. Dave is just bursting with happiness.

Now that this is upon us though...I find that I'M the one that's anxious, nervous, & scared to be honest. I guess I'm thinking of all of the practical/selfish reasons to freak myself out here. Will I ever sleep when the baby's born? My body's still not back to where it used to be, will it be gone forever now? The nausea associated with pregnanty & changing Riley's diapers? The list goes on. It took 4 years to get Riley, & I guess I had been steadily preparing myself that it might take another 4. Guess, not, lmao!

I have wonderful help though, & I'm not alone. Dave is so wonderfully helpful. He takes college courses online & has been swamped as this week is when his mid-terms are. So, I'll have more help with Riley & maybe that'll ease some of my worries.
Ultimately I know this is the right thing & I can foresee when Riley & the new little one are 2 & 3 - they'll hve each other as playmates. I know that all the rough stuff will be worth it then.

So, I am happy...just scared, lol. I'd be lying if I said I wasn't. Just wish me luck & keep me in your prayers!

congratz!! isn't it a beautiful feeling to know you have someone so precious inside your belly? =) its people liek you that make me remember that i'm blessed with a baby myself..

congratz again =)
