Answers here

I posted on my Little Sparkler's (online) board that I was PG again using the pictures that I took from LM's birthday with the big brother t-shirt. Here's some answers to their questions which you might have too so I'm re-posting them here: I've know since last Thursday night. I'm in shock and denial that this is actually happening. NO we weren't trying! Well...going to the pregnancy resource lady for verification that I am PG last Friday she said that a strong swimmer can last 6 days!!! Well, that explains baby #3. I truly didn't think that was possible for them to live that long. I was thinking 2-3 days. It's funny though since it took us 15 months to get DD and zero with LM and zero again with this one. DH was also told he has a low sperm count too when we couldn't conceive with DD at first and started testing.

I'm not thrilled about it but what can you do. I never imagined myself with a barely 3 year-old, 1.5 year old, and a new born. I use to think those mothers were CRAZY!!! Well...now I'm one of them. LOL

We told our parents by the last picture I posted on LM's birthday pictures. In the video I
posted I feel slightly bad that I said "unfortunately" but that's the way I was feeling. DH said our kid will never see that video. I think they would understand that they came earlier than mommy and daddy had wanted but is still loved. Am I horrible for saying that?

Here's the funny story though: Last Thursday night while DH was laying in bed he asked me if I had started yet. I told him no (but already had a few symptoms--hating the smell of milk (did that with DD), not liking pressure on my stomach, and a few others). He told me to get in the bathroom and start bleeding! Silly boy. I told him I can't do that. He said to go and and do it anyway. I felt sorry for him but there was nothing I could do. He told me to go out and get a pregnancy test then. I told him I already had one. He told me to go and test. I said I didn't want to because then he would know and I like to tell him in some fun/cute way. He said he wouldn't be able to sleep so I left. I took the test and started to brush my teeth. I was relieved when the line passed over the test line and continued brushing. When I was almost finished I looked over at the test and it was clear as day- two pink lines! I then said CRAP in my head. I walked into our room with the toothbrush still in my mouth and with my finger motioned DH to the bathroom. He asked if he needed to come. I nodded yes and then he asked if he was going to freak out. I nodded again. Then I felt like crying. He came into the bathroom and I pointed to the test with the two lines and then to the box with the positive result of two lines. We hugged and both were in shock! It took a long time to fall asleep that night. We made it through the weekend without telling anyone and made it to LM's b-day to tell our parents.

My best friend didn't believe me. I told her, "remember the whole situation with going to see my sister in July--well I can't go now anyway." She asked "why" and I said "I was pregnant." She said "nu-ah." I said "yes, I am" and she said "you are joking Sarah." I told her "Kari, I'm 6 weeks along!" She said "Oh, my Goodness and was in shock." I told her "welcome to my world." She said "she wouldn't even know what she would do if she were me."

My sister's response was the best reaction so far. She said, " YEAH...oh...whoa...oh...!" She said the yeah was for the baby because babies are great and then she realized what this would mean and the kids are so young too. She's so right. That was my reaction without the Yeah. Sad but true.

DH is finally excited and has been the last couple of days. I think I will be excited once I have health insurance. I have health insurance but it doesn't cover pregnancy--since we were trying--and now I have my application in for OHP and I pray I get on! It sucks having preexisting conditions (car accident issues and now pregnancy).

probably not my place to chime in about this, but I REALLY have to side with Kevin on EVER letting your kid know (until they are grown and out of the house) that you ever felt their coming into your family was "unfortunate." Think of how you would have felt growing up "knowing" that your parents didn't really want you. I know it isn't nearly as black and white as that. That you do love this baby and do want them, just not as soon as this. However, kids cannot (do not have the developmental ability) to make such minute distinctions until almost adults. Even teenagers would be devastated and feel their "whole life was a lie" (can you hear the teenager yelling that at you some evening when life is sucking for them? So, no, I don't think you are awful for feeling this way. I think 3 little kids at home is VERY hard and stressful those first few years, and you have every reason to feel this way. I DON'T think however, that your kid should ever know this until they are way old enough to handle it. Just my opinion

I do a 3-4 year old co-op and we spend most of our time dancing, singing, playing, snacking and about 15 mins doing projects. No pressure, just make it fun. Sam is way into sounding out letters and when he wants to, we make time for it. He even sounded out the word "note" to me the other day and told me the "e" was silent. Seriously, they're sponges, but I didn't have to pound in the message.
