september 26th...a day we have been looking forward to...


or is it? we'll never call IT an accident, but let's be real: we weren't trying. and obviously not trying hard not to. well, IT happened. my clearblue easy digital just confirmed what i had already suspected.

i've been running a lot more lately and about a week and half or so ago this wall of fatigue hit me. i first chalked it up to my increased activity levels, but this was bad..this was like the fatigue i had during my whole pregnancy with #1. wouldn't you know it, i forgot to track my period for the month of august, so it's been sort of a guessing game. a game i play all too often, so i decided to ride it out and save the money i would normally blow on pregnancy tests. today, if i counted from the first day of my july period, would make me 5 days late. and i was feeling sort of nauseous and have had a pretty bad headache for two days (not normal for me). i tried a family dollar test and nothing happened. so while nash was napping i flew over to walmart and bought my trusty clearblue digital test. all the while i was thinking: "i can't have another kid! i just left my first one home alone to run to wal-mart!" of course, i locked the doors and left lexi to guard him, but probably not the best idea in any event. I JUST COULDN'T WAIT!

after i saw the word "pregnant" i pretty much freaked out. first it was excitement, now fear and disbelief. can my body handle this again after only ten months?!?! can my sanity?!?! let's hope #2 is as good as #1 has been.....and am i hoping for a girl or a boy? a boy means i already have a huge wardrobe for him. a girl means ALL NEW CLOTHES! oh the anxiety.

i do know one thing. number one has been the best thing ever, once we got past the first few months! so number two will be welcomed and loved. we just might not be quite ready for this! good thing we've got 36ish weeks to prepare....
