starting over

Anyone else feel like they r starting over again?? I have a 12 yr old son with my man and we were surprised to find out I'm pregnant a few wks ago. Its hard to remember all the little things about being pregnant and babies, feel like it was so long ago. We got pregnant just as we decided we were very happy with only having our son and it was nice that he finally is old enough to stay home by himself while we run to the grocery store. We r excited but also nervous about "starting over"

I have a 6 year old son and I actually raised him only own, his dad stepped out when I found out that I was pregnant which was not a problem! I met my boyfriend now when my son was 3 months old and we got pregnant in July, I'm 25 weeks now and everything that I'm experiencing now with us both having cravings and so on... Is a new experience for me!! As well as him. I love it! And I'm nervous with starting over but I'm so excited!!! For our future together. Good luck hon.. nothing but blessings your way.

I have an 11yr old she will be 12yrs old on feb 3rd.
I'm 35 wks and due on feb 7th. So they will be 12yrs apart. I remember when i went into Labour and everything.  I also remember how i wasn't as big as i am now. I also remember that this pregnancy is way different then my first,  and i was much sicker this time and experience much different things as well.  
I was a single mother back then. And until about a year and half ago i met a wonderful man and got married. So I'm not sure how this will work out for me since I'm use to taking care of my kid by myself but i gave him a ffair warning,  and told him i may be a bit controlling in that department since i was all alone with my daughter and I'm not use to someone else wanting yo help or be around.
Oh and both these children are girls. And this baby is his first but my second of course.

Thnx, and yes! it is scary and things have changed so much in the last 12 yrs it feels like. Most of my friends have 5 yr olds and even then the things they had for babies I was amazed lol. I look around my house and think, oh boy in a yr this place will b a mess with baby stuff lol. When i first took a test i thought haahaa ya right, theres no way it will b positive and when i saw it i immidiatly threw up in shock! We r excited because what's meant to b will b. Just very nervous! Hope u ladies have a wonderful and easy pregnancy with healthy babies :)
