Oh mama! You have your hands full, in a wonderful way, just one in diapers & now on to two! Lol There are weeks we can barely afford one box of diapers now I am like how are we going to buy two? Lol It's life though & we'll figure it out as we go. At least we already have to buy wipes, wash & lotion so that's not a extra expense! Life is full of the unexpected.

Lol...my oldest 3 are all developmentally delayed. So I was all "woo hoo! I'm finally down to just 1 in diapers for the first time since my second was born! Yay me!" A week later I found out this one was coming. Lmao...so much for that lol

Lol My youngest boy, right now, wasn't really planned but was a big surprise since it took me 10 years to conceive. This pregnancy was a complete shocker!! I saw the positive hpt & just laughed, I thought no way! Due date is the same as my due date last year but my boys have a tendency of coming late. Nothing like being "set in your ways" then flipping your world upside down, right?! ;-)

Lol that's not bad! :-) My oldest is 11 & this my 3rd pregnancy. I guess I wanted to wait 10 years between my 1st 2 to have the last 2 less then 1 year apart.

I had mild cramping for the last week or so. But it was really mild. Serious cramps started the day before. But everyone is different.
