Intro: still shocked I go here now

[littleredfish]

Hey ladies. I'm a SAHM, husband is military. We have 2 sweet girls, but this is my 5th pregnancy. Just got my BFP this morning and it was not expected to say the least. DH and I were fulfilled with our family of 4 (at least for now) and actively preventing. Also, our second is 6 months old...so not overly sexually active over here. Not to mention my second was a long time coming despite our best efforts so I never would have imagined we'd conceive while trying not too.

Still at the end of the day I am obviously very excited. I still haven't told anybody, including DH. He has a huge promotion coming up Friday so he has a lot on his mind as it is and I'm planning to surprise him on Father's Day.

Not sure on due date because I was on the mini pill and it made my periods really erratic, but I'm guessing mid Feb. So, yeah! Still kind of shell shocked over here!!

Welcome! My DD turned 6 months today so I know the shell shocked you speak of. That sounds like an awesome surprise if you can wait till the weekend.

Congrats! I was in shock today when I realized my daughter will only be turning two in January..but you've got a tiny babe so it could be crazier haha.

I'm glad there are others here with teeny babes. I'm so overwhelmed at the thought of 3 let alone that the age gap will be so small. I loved the 3 year gap of my first. This will be a whole new ball game.

This will be number 3 as well for me and my DS will be 3 1/2 in Feb. it's a lot to wrap my mind around so it will be good to have y'all. I have a friend who is about to have her fourth when her oldest twins aren't even 4 yet-I will be stalking her to see how she does it. I just never thought this would be me.
DH is excited though and he even had a name idea for me today(It takes us forever to pick one). Once I have the energy I'll be excited too.

That's actually what I'm most nervous about. I love the 3+ year gap of my first two. This will be a whole different game.
