Wow, another baby!

So, where to start! I like to rant so I apologize in advance if this gets really long! Okay, so.....We just found out on 6/30/12 that we are expecting Baby Thacker #2. Wow. I still can't wrap my head around it. We were not expecting it at all. I'm not even sure exactly when my LMP was. I think it was June 2nd. Anyways, I had Ava's 2nd Birthday party on 6/23 and felt completely fine, had a GREAT time. The next day I had a few dizzy spells but chocked it up to being my gastric bypass. (for those who do not know, I am 7 months post gastric bypass. I have lost 70 lbs to date). Monday evening I took a preggo test and it was clearly negative so i threw it away and didnt say a word. I kept getting the dizzy spells when i'd stand up or move too fast, again wrote it off as nothing. Ava's actual birthday is 6/28. I had her a big breakfast and gave her my full attention all day. Her daddy took off work Friday 6/29 and we took her to Cunningham Falls in Maryland for swimming, picnicking, and hiking. We had a blast, despite it was 100 degrees F out. We got home around 7 pm, unpacked, took our showers, and I was in bed before 8pm. I thought I was just exhausted from the trip. The next morning I got up early and felt like I was hit by a truck. I was exhausted, my back hurt and I had bad cramps. I checked to see if my period was coming and realized it was due between 6/27 and 6/29, so I thought I'd test one more time just to clear my head, I knew it would be negative. I had two Dollar Store tests left, so what the heck right?! Well boy oh boy I was wrong. At first there was not a line in site, I waited another minute and the faintest of line showed up. I have gotten false alarms before, so I didn't believe it. Dollar Store tests have given me positives when I wasn't really pregnant, but it was just one bad test, never more than one in a row, so I took another the next time I used the bathroom, and again another line. I mentioned it to Caleb, and he felt the way I did, it probably was a bad test and to not get my hopes up. So I went to my brothers birthday party/cook out and spent the day with family, but the whole day I just thought about those two tests. When I left, Ava and I headed to Walmart and bought some First Response 6 day sooner tests. As soon as we got home, I took one, and right away there was a second pink line. I sat there thinking, no way. So I took another. Again positive!!! I was in such disbelief, I started to cry, not a good cry. I was freaking out. Ava is my world, how can I even consider sharing my love with anyone but her! After a few minutes I was able to gather myself and tell Caleb. He still didn't believe it. I texted my future mom-in-law for support. She is always super supportive of us and helps us through anything! She called me ecstatic, I have to admit I was surprised. She was not this excited when we told her about Ava (waited til 8 weeks that time). After an hour call with her I felt confident and got a little excited. When Caleb got off work Ava and I had gotten him a Monster energy drink (his favorite) and put the tests and monster on the table with a big bow wrapped around it. He looked shocked, and I think he thought I was messing with his head. I had to explain to him that it's no joke, We are Pregnant! He does not like to show his emotions but I could tell by his eyes he was excited, and started to ask me questions. After some charting I figured out we are due March 9,2013. I was 3 weeks and 5 days pregnant when I got my first positive test. It's insane how early we can find out these days! I have my first OBGYN appt July 24th and I am meeting with my Gastric Bypass surgeon on July 9th to go over the risks and such. After everything we have been through in the last year, this is amazing news! We are super excited to have our second and most likely final child!
