Hello? Is This Thing On??

Yikes. I've been away for a long time. Too long. So here's a quick recap of my life before I move on to the present. Work is busy and my boss is still an ass (I detest him with every fiber of my being). Hubby is in the runnings for a promotion of sorts in his job (finger crossed). Little Man is finally adjusting to preshool. Thank goodness. There were plenty of tears shed, by Little Man and Mommy.

Now, on to the present. Hubby and I just found out last week we are expecting baby #2. It's been a long, difficult, emotional road. We had officially been trying for 1 year and 9 months. It was something neither of us talked much about outside of our bedroom. After trying and failing for so many months, it became something very private. Our family never knew we were even considering another child. It is something we both want so badly. Other than a few very close friends, it was our secret.

And now, here I am. Shouting it on my blog for everyone to hear. Well, everyone being me. And Diana, who already knows. WE ARE HAVING A BABY!!! It is so hard to contain our excitement. We told our family the day after I took the pregnancy test. Everyone is happy, surprised, but happy. I have already had 2 pregnancy blood tests to confirm my EPT results, and I have scheduled my first appointment with the doctor.

Now the only thing to do is convince Little Man that this is a good thing. So far, his reaction has been a little less than happy. Ok, he is downright pissed. He has this idea in his little head that if mommy and daddy have a baby, he won't be our child any more. He is very concerned about his quest to find 'new parents'. These are all his theories by the way. So begins our struggle with an almost 4 year old to understand that our family structure will change, our number will change, but not our love. See? That sounds good, right? Doubtful Little Man will understand that tho. I better get my pregnant butt to the library.
