OVERWHELMED! Mommies, please talk to me..

I am a happily married, stay at home mom to a 1 year old little girl.. I missed my period and got 2 positive tests yesterday clear as day... This pregnancy was unplanned but still a blessing.. However I am still extremely nervous about having two little ones right now. I would have preferred to wait about 1 year before we conceived a second one.

At first I was just feeling really nervous and very overwhelmed because I don't really feel emotionally ready to be pregnant again yet. But then I started feeling really excited after my husband and I went to dinner. Then today was a good day but now as I am laying in bed pondering, I am getting this overwhelming feeling of uncertainty again...

Part of it has to do with the fact that I am still breastfeeding and now that my daughter is drinking cows milk and only nursing to sleep I now have more freedom with my body to diet or drink or whatever. (This only lasted about 2 weeks)

Another part of it is that I just started seeing a significant difference in my weight loss and I still have plenty of excess fat that I would have liked to lose before getting pregnant again so that I don't blow up and also so that it will be easier to shape up again after baby #2.

And lastly I just now got a little more freedom where it it easier to leave my daughter with a babysitter (family only) for a little while so my husband and I can go out to dinner/movie or have a couple drinks or just get some errands done. And now it's about to get even more difficult to have anyone babysit because there will be 2 of them. And my hubby works long hours.

However, I still have some very positive feelings about this pregnancy as well and my husband is excited and thinks that the closeness in age is beneficial whereas we won't have any more children for a while and I could go back to work when they start school or something and we can save more money and then later down the line if we want another we will be very prepared and such. Which I agree with and I am thrilled that he is excited. But again I just feel SO overwhelmed with emotion..
