there's a baby in there!!! i am a little over 8 weeks along.
you are probably thinking, what??? they just had a baby. well, you are exactly right. that was exactly our thought when we found out. it is strange to think that i will have had two different pregnancies in the same year. my poor body...i was still nursing when i got pregnant. we were shocked and scared at first (the whole newborn stage is fresh in our minds...not to mention all the medical bills!). now, we are rejoicing in the Lord's plans! we know that a child is a gift from the Lord and i don't want to do anything but be thankful!
my due date is the first part of june, but since i had an emergency c-section with hunter, i am guessing the next one will be a scheduled c-section for the end of may. so hunter and baby #2 will be 15 months apart. do we buy another crib? do i use two diaper bags (especially when they have to go to different nurseries)? double stroller? so many questions. for one thing, we will be taking the cheapest route possible...the new baby might be in the bassinet for an extra long time until hunter can go to a toddler bed. i know i have plenty of time to figure all this out!
i am not too excited about being back in maternity clothes and buying more...i will be prego in different seasons. why do they have to be so expensive? oh, and gaining weight. i guess no one is really ever ready for that. at least i got back down to below my normal weight. just knowing that it is possible to lose your baby weight is comforting. i am sure i will need to remind myself of this over and over and over again.
i will be one busy momma having kids so close together, but i know plenty of people have done it! if you have kids close in age, tell me about it!

Oh my goodness! I've been following your blog since Hunter was born. He is just a few days younger than my sweet baby boy. When I stopped by your blog this morning I was so surprised. I just kept thinking oh my! You will be one busy mommy but your kids will be best friends! It will be so fun to watch them bond and learn and share together. I'll be checking back for updates! Congratulations!!!
Congratulations Carissa!!! We're going to have babies very close to each other. I'm due May 27th! I'm 9 weeks and 5 days. I wanted to have 2 close to each other too...but Marcos was a little unsure and we ended up only getting pregnant now. God bless you!!
Carissa,
Congrats on Baby #2. That is exciting! It'll be crazy busy but fun!
Congratulations! I'm SO excited for you guys! Well, you already know I had the first 2, 17 months apart and the next 2, 12 1/2 months apart! You can do it! Any questions/advice feel free to ask!
Children are a gift and a blessing=)
Congratulations! This is my first time to your blog! :)
My children were 23 months apart and you will need a double stroller, one diaper is fine but you will need another crib.
Such a blessing! They will be great friends.
Congratulations!! I bet that was a big surprise :) Our first two boys are 21 months apart and it worked out great. Your two will be best friends!
When you are young you can do it. Your Mom and Doug were 22 mos. apart and they would both love to be in the play pen together. I knew they were pretty safe there and couldn't get into much trouble
It was my time to hurry and get laundry or somnething else done. I wish you the best. If I lived close to you I'd come and help you, sweet pea.
our three girls are 15 months apart. then my son and the third girl are 13 months apart. and i'm pregnant again with baby number five, due to two miscarriages inbetween this baby and our son will be 21 months apart. it's crazy to think about, but it truly is so much choatic fun! and i'm not sure if you do, but cloth diapering has saved us SO much money with multiple babies in diapers. let me know if you have questions...i'm addicted to cloth diapering. :0)
