Thought I'd let you know...

I haven't been here in a long time. There's a lot going on in my life right now that's keeping me extremely busy and I haven't had time to keep up with people like I should. But we got some news yesterday that I felt was share-worthy.

We're pregnant again. It took nearly a full year of trying, which was hard when our first pregnancy came so easily. I'm still breastfeeding, which affected my cycles and kept me from ovulating for months at a time. I honestly didn't think I would be fertile until I weaned my daughter, which was a heartbreaking thought.

We're very relieved and excited right now. When I found out I was in shock and disbelief, but I tested again this morning and the positive was there even before the control line appeared, dark as can be. I'm definitely pregnant again.

I just wanted to share our happy news with those of you who've been so kind to me and so understanding. It's painful when you're having trouble getting pregnant and watching others get pregnant so easily. My heart definitely goes out to those who are having trouble - I feel your pain, I honestly do.

That was all. Thank you.

Congratulations! It took us almost a year to get pregnant with Luke so I know how exciting it is to look at that positive test and feel relief.

I hope that you have a great nine months.

Thank you very much everyone!

Jules: I'm not sure how far along I am, to be honest. My cycle was so messed up from breastfeeding and I would often skip months at a time or only have spotting. I was convinced I wasn't ovulating, or at least not consistently enough to TTC effectively, so this is a very pleasant surprise. I'll probably have to wait for my first ultrasound to find out exactly how far along I am.

Aaron wants a boy, and since this will be our last baby, I'm hoping for a boy as well. I'd be grateful for either though as long as they're healthy. If it's a girl I can stick with the pink girly bedroom I've been dreaming of for Alyvia (they'll be sharing a bedroom).
