If you can't tell that's two positive pregnancy tests.
*Collective Gasp*
Now I know what you are thinking: Didn't she just post on Facebook that she wanted to wait a long time to have another child---why yes, yes I did. And if you've talked to me anytime recently you know that Jeff and I had decided that we'd liked the 3 year spacing of our boys and wanted to do it again. After all, we haven't felt like we needed to hurry and have all our kids. So that is why this is such a BIG surprise because it was NOT PLANNED AT ALL. And also why I cried all day last Thursday. Apparently it doesn't matter what I use for birth control because this is our second Oooops Baby. And you want to know what is going to make you laugh even harder at me? Apparently I'm about 12 weeks along. Yep, going into my second trimester. According to online due date predictors, I'm due around November 19th. I know its hard to believe that I could go that long without knowing. I just thought I was irregular, I really didn't even think I was pregnant because we were trying to prevent it....does that make sense?
Looking back though, it should have been obvious.
- I started feeling a little sick and just "a little off" around the end of March, first part of April. I didn't think anything of it, just thought I might be coming down with something.
- I've been so so so tired all the time. Remember me posting about it a few weeks ago? I thought my insulin resistance was getting worse or I was anemic.
- I've felt sick to my stomach a lot, but not enough to really concern me.
- I threw up one morning last week. That should have tipped me off, but I just thought I'd let myself get too hungry as I've been trying to cut calories to loose weight. Oooops. Yep that and I've been working out all the time because I thought that if I would just work out more I would start to feel better.
So now I need all the support I can get because I feel so lost at what to do. Its stressful to be in a new place without a lot of my usual support system. On top of that I've been trying to get into the doctor and make sure everything is okay. I worry about miscarriage all the time; once you've been through it I don't think you are ever the same again. Each little twinge or cramp sends me into worry wart mode. I really want to get into the doctor soon for my own peace of mind. I finally found a clinic I like today, but they are booked until June 8th. They want to try to get me in sooner because I am so far along, so I guess they are trying to make some room in their schedule and they are supposed to call me back tomorrow and let me know. I'm excited because the clinic has all female OB/GYN's.
I don't know what I'm going to do with kids 18 months apart. It just wasn't in my plan! While I am so thankful to be able to be a mom, this really has caught me by surprise. I mean, I STILL have a baby... I JUST had a baby. I haven't felt "baby hungry" at all. So I guess all I can do is move forward and hope for the best!

Congrats Sara!! That is really exciting and I totally know how you feel. Sayer was only 8 months old when I found out I was pregnant with Madi! I cried for weeks! But I wouldn't change it for the world now. They are such good friends.
Congrats to you both! I think you are an amazing person and an awesome mom! Your testimony of motherhood pulls me through sometimes, because you seem like you can do it all! I was thinking maybe H.F. knew you would be so worried about miscarrying and that's why you are so far along before figuring it out? Good luck with the new doctors!
WOW!!!! Totally unexpected :) I am floored for you guys. I agree with Cassandra - I'm sure it's so nice to know that you are so far along. I think this is definitely a tender mercy after your miscarriage a few years ago. If you need ANYTHING, please let me know. I know it's hard not to have all of your family down here, but you are such an awesome friend, I consider you family. If you need me to watch your boys sometime, please LET me. I'm so happy you will be out here in Eagle at the end of the summer. Congrats again.....crossing my fingers for you that it's a girl this time around!!! :):)
PS - what OB clinic are you going to?
And November babies rock :)
Wow! What a surprise, but a great one after finally getting over the shock. I'm really happy for you guys.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! I have to admit, the other day when you said you were tired on facebook, a little thought went through my mind...and thought about asking, but then thought better...I didn't want to be the cause of assumptions. :)
We are SO Excited for you guys!!! :)
The Obstetrics and Gynecologist Specialist at the big Intermountain Hospital on 5300. They have one of the most advanced hospitals in the nation so that made me feel good about delivering there. Plus everything is brand new and we thought it would be a better location for Jeff's family to come visit us while I'm in there.
IMC - yes the mother ship, or so it is known within IMC. It is a massive hospital. Cool. Hope they get you in soon!!
I was three months along with Carrie before I figured it out...and she was my fourth! Duh! Just think, you are this far along and you didn't have to go through all that worry!
I tell Carrie, "You weren't invited, but we are really glad you came!"
Just repeat over and over, "everything will be ok, everything will be ok....."
Congratulations!
WOW! Congratulations.... It may not have been expected by you, but God has a plan. If he brings you to it he will bring you through it. I know you will be richly blessed! YAY!
Congratulations! That is exciting, if surprising, news! I'm so glad you will be in your new house for the last part of the pregnancy!!
Congratulatons! I am excited for you but I can feel your pain! Know that Anth and I are here for you and who knows maybe we will be there when you have the baby!
that is shocking Sara. Wow, everything will turn out great. You are an awesome mom and Jeff is a great Dad. Heavenly Father is looking for loving homes like yours to send his babies to.
congratulations sarah and jeff. how exciting for you, unexpected, but exciting! i hope you start feeling better, but at least now you have an explanation for it all, and don't have to worry about something else. congratulations!
What an unexpected blessing. I am happy for the two of you. Just think of what great friends they will be because they will be so close in age and going through similar situations that they can talk to each other about.
WOW! I was thinking like a juicer(someone else that I know got one for mother's day) or a kitchen aid mixer or a clean house or something. That is awesome I was shocked!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!
WOW! (Shaylen is funny...because I was thinking the same thing! haha) I am so excited for you! I can't believe you'll have three kids by the end of this year!! I'll cross my fingers for another girl for you!
Life's little unexpecteds. . . or big in this case!!! Excited for you. . . how overwhelmed you must feel. . . turn to the One who knows you best!
