Yes, it's true. Chris and I are expecting again!!!!!!!! We are very exited. Carter and baby #2 will be about 17 months apart. For those who are wondering, but maybe too polite to ask, "were you trying?"
It's not a yes or no. When we first started having kids we wanted them really really close in age, but then I found out I have Polycystic Overian Syndrom. (long story short, it's more difficult for me to have kids......supposidly.) So when we had Carter, we were sooo exited. Then I decided I wanted to try nursing him for a whole year. (Which I still am) So becuase of the two things I didn't think I would get pregnant again till I weaned Carter at least. Well, I was wrong. So we weren't "trying" but it's still what we were hoping for. We just gave God our plans, and he still made it happen. Our kids will be a little less than a year and a half apart.
A week ago I thought I was getting the flu. I was nervous, becuase I didn't want to pass anything on to Carter. Chris had been saying I was pregnant for a few weeks, and I just thought.....no, that's not possible, don't even get me started on that path again. Well, I finally gave in, and said, okay, let me take a test, to make sure I didn't have the flu. (I don't know my reasonng and how that worked.) But it worked. I am not sick, or contagous. Just don't drink the water. :o)
I am having identical symptoms that I had with Carter. It makes it kind of easy, because I know what to expect.
Please pray for a healthy baby, and finances. (our current healthcare does NOT cover pregnancy, so we need to find a way to pay for this little one.)

Congrats Jolene,
Carmen and Lissa are a result of the same thing and are 17 months apart.
I was nursing carmen not having periods and was ignorant enough to think I couldn't get pregnant.
Well we love Carmen and Lissa and they are great friends to each other.
So next summer how exciting, just like Carmen and Lissa.
Carmen was July Lissa December.
Yay Jolene! This is so exciting.
I have heard that women who have trouble getting pregnant the first time around find it easier to get pregnant with their next pregnancies. I am hoping this is the case for me!!
Although you don't have the flu... STAY HEALTHY!
YAY!!! So fun! I'm thrilled Carter will have a little sibling.
I hope this pregnancy will go well for you.
We sure miss seeing you guys.
Take care!
love,
lissa
