I'M WHAT!?!?!?!?

Let me just tell you the whole story!!

 My little sister, she is almost 11, and I are about 15 years apart, with no one in between! So she gets raised basically like an only child. So when Monk and I go down there, someone always ends up fighting. Whether it be my mom and dad because of my lil sis's jealousy or me and my lil sis b/c of her jealousy.

Thanksgiving night Monkey and I stayed with my mom since my hubby had to work over night to get ready for the big sale. What happens but a fight breaks out. Monkey just wanted to play with her aunt Cheyenne, and Cheyenne just wanted to be up my dad's butt! Yes she follows him around almost everywhere!!

So I tell my mom, "That is why Jordan is not going to be an only child! I can not stand that jealousy thing!!"

So then yesterday at work, another mom and I are talking about it all and the fact that her kids are 13 months apart, and they still have a jealousy issue. We are talking about kids and pregnancy and I tell her that with all my pregnancies, I miscarried twice before Jordan, I got sick, like a head cold, before I even found out. It was like my immune system drops.

Then I was making a joke about how I got a sinus/ear infection, then when I got over that, I got a head cold. She looked at me and said, "Are you pregnant?" I just laughed and said, "Uh..NO!! I don't think!"

Then we talked a little more, and I told her that now I am worrying about it because I don't recall my last period! So she told me take a test! And yep..you guessed it!!

I'm Pregnant!!

It's a little bit of a shock, okay, a LOT of a shock! We wanted another one, but not right now. We not only can't afford it, but don't have the room or the time for another one. I just went back to work full time, and now I may have to be a SAHM just to save money for childcare. I truly believe that God doesn't give us hurdles that we can't jump over...but why do it now!!

Everyone tells me that it will be okay and that in a few years, or even less, that I will look back at this time and laugh and myself for getting so worked up over it all. I am literally sick to my stomach, but I don't know if it is my ulcers that act up when I worry of get really upset, of if it is just morning sickness! I don't want to go thru that again. I was so sick being pregnant with Jordan that I lost 20+ lbs before I ever started gaining. Yes I want to lose weight, but not that way!

So now, almost every journal post I write up is going to be about this dayum pregnancy, whether I'm happy about it or not!!

Nov. 24, 2007 at 10:04 AM My first two are 13 months apart.  My next two will be 16 months apart.  It is cheaper to stay home.  My DH and I currently live in a 2 BR/1 Bath house with 3 kids and 1 on the way.  It can be done.  If you want some tips/pointers or just an ear, PM me.  It'll all work out and you'll be fine.  I'm not saying it won't be tough, but anything worth having is worth working for.  I promise!!

Nov. 24, 2007 at 10:35 AM My middle sister and I are 16 months apart. My mom babysat at home. It was fun having a constant friend that was around the same age, but at the same time like all sisters we couldn't stand each other. You will make it through. We never had alot growing up, but I knew I always had my sister! Just like Jordan will have her sibling.
