The day I found out.....

Well i had a daughter on March 22nd,2011. She is a beautiful,smart,and happy baby. I was happy with just her and my husband when i looked into the future i saw just us three. I got the mini pill after i had her because i didn't want anymore children anytime soon. We felt that we would like one more maybe 3 years from now,and as luck would have it I found out this morning from a Dr's blood test, that i am indeed pregnant again. At first i was upset,but it quickly turned to excitement and happiness. I will have babies maybe a year apart if that,and i know i will be judged for it as i'm only 21. I personally think i can handle anything God throws at me. I mean i've survived a rare auto-immune disease,taking care of a mother-in law with stage 4 brain cancer, and everything else. I'm positive i'll survive it and even thrive from it.

Congrats to you! If anyone judges you for being prenant so close together then they are not worth being around. Children are a blessing no matter how far or close they come. I found out I was pregnant with my second daughter before my oldest made it to her 1st birthday, at first I was depressed and sad that my plan to wait a few years didn't work out, but I would not take being pregnant so close together back for anything. Today my girls are 4 and 2 1/2(will be 3 in Dec.) and they are lost when the other is not around.

Again CONGRATS!
