Almost two weeks ago I put 2 and 2 together while I was out for my morning walk with my friend Riann. I told her I was having cramps the last two days and I only get them when I'm pregnant.
I then asked her, "when do you ovulate?" I know, I should know this but I'm usually on the pill. I went off birth control mid August so I could do HCG and lose weight. When I got home from my walk I counted on my calendar and figured out that on day 15 the magic happened.....seriously, are we a couple of teenagers? I then read online about HCG and pregnancy and Dr. Simeons says that when you get pregnant (which isn't uncommon on HCG and I'm wondering why I didn't know that before) you stop losing weight. I had not lost weight for a week and now it's stopped completely. I was convinced I was pregnant. I then stopped losing my hair, have some mean gas, want to take a nap at every opportunity and got a zit! Oh and did I mention I'm a week late?
Oh yes my friends, I am pregnant!!!!! 
And yep, Samantha is only 6 months old! We are excited and grateful but were planning on having more of a span between kids. Oh well. :)

Congrats! I say get them here quick and they can grow through the stages close together! Well we that have "good accidents" have to say that anyways. Miles and Brighton were our SURPRISES! Take care.
Congratulation! Surprises are fun, it's like a present you didn't know you were getting! You know my story and you know Brooklyn was the biggest surprise ever! And she has been a wonderful blessing in our lives. I happy and excited for you!
Congrats Mel! That is so awesome and exciting!
That is so great!!! When do you think you are due? How far apart will they be? Will and Ben were almost 15 months apart. It was and still is so much fun. YEAH!! We are pregnant together again!
Holy cow! That was a shocker! Are you still in shock!? Congrats! Guess the weight loss will just have to wait:)
AHHH! Melanie and Chris, congratulations! I'm sorry, but that is really funny that you are already pregnant again! How are you feeling about all of this, are you doing okay? That is so exciting though, and apparently was supposed to happen. Keep me updated for sure on this! :)

First off, congratulations. That is great. In the long run, you will be so happy. But someday soon, there will be a day that you will be a bit overwhelmed with three tiny ones - it is then that you can call me and I'll be there for you sista!
Really though, congrats!
