Line eyes

[Redvelo21]

Anyone see the line?

this is with a 3pm pee.

this would be baby number 2 - I have a 2 year old and although we talked about another we were gonna wait another year at least.
i will be testing again in the morning.
my period was due today- what made me test?
we only did it once this month - 2 days before my fertile period so I thought we would be fine. period didn’t arrive today and I realised I am dead bone tired and feeling queasy.

Congratulations girl this is definitely positive

Don’t even need line eyes for that one - definitely positive!

i don’t know how I feel yet I’m still processing.
I feel sad for my 2year old I thought it would just be us for another year.
we still breastfeed and co sleep so lots to change before

Definitely see a line. I understand your feelings. I had a little scare recently and though we definitely want another I am not ready to share my time with my 19mo yet.

They will be nearly 3 by the time baby comes. There’s a huge difference between 2 and 3. They will be absolutely fine and so will you. You think you can’t love another as much as your first but once DC2 is here the love just expands and you can’t imagine life without them. Get a good, comfy sling and you’ll be hands-free for DC1 and baby will be snug and happy. Congratulations, it’s honestly going to be fine.

thanks for the kind words.
im gonna test again in the morning and then work out how and when to tell my partner.
I don’t think his first reaction will be pure joy.
I think he will feel like me to start

Fmu within 1 minute

That’s pretty conclusive. How are you feeling today?

Definitely can see lines. Congratulations. I know it's not what you planned but by the time the baby is born your first will already be older. Sometimes things just go as they go and we just have to make most of it.

Most of the morning was queasy. Tired. Not had chance to tell my partner yet.
want to wait until my daughter was napping as I don’t want her to see if I get upset. but she didn’t nap. And is still up now.

another reason I don’t think the timing is right. Often it’s midnight bedtimes for her

Not your original al topic but as you said your 2 year old is often up around midnight.

Sorry hit wrong button... so your 2 year old's bedtime.... is it possible she is overtired from not taking her nap that makes he go to bed so late? I wonder if you managed to sort out her bedtime to more towards evening it would make things easier for you.

She normally naps.

i wake her by 8am, she naps around 12-1/1:30
then just keeps going and going and going.
we have quiet time
no screens
a full bed time routine.

this is nothing new for us she always been low sleep needs and hourly wakes.
some
days she can have 20 min nap and be up until 1 or 2am

Oh gosh that sounds exhausting. Let's hope the sleeping somehow sorts itself out with time. 🤞🏼 how did your convo with your partner go? Are you ok?

He took it surprisingly we’ll but we are still weighing up options.
or setup isn’t straightforward
im the sole earner- he is stay at home dad.
Cost of living and a year since last maternity leave ended and we are still recovering so not sure how we can afford it.
my heart is saying to just go for it but my head is saying it’s 2 years too early and It would mean making cut backs that will impact our daughter.
she has just gone to bed now- we have been up since 6 today with 1 30 minute nap.I’ve been at work and then mum since 3pm I am exhausted. The thought of having another baby to look after in 9 months time is terrifying me to be honest.
also I wouldn’t be able to take a full year off I would need to go back at 6 months the latest.
so then my partner will have 2 to look after all day- and I know if I was the stay at home parent I’d just have to get on with it but it was never our intention have 2 under 4 so it doesn’t feel fair.
im 5 weeks today so I have a couple of weeks to make up my mind.
if we decide not to go ahead I think we will get a grip on our finances and then go for it towards end of 2024.
eurgh now I’ve written this out I feel selfish - but all I can also hear is the posts saying you shouldn’t have children you can’t afford.
