Surprise, surprise! God has sent us another baby to love.  Just a little sooner than we thought, so at first we had mixed emotions. Luke just turned 1 and he is very attached, nurses all the time, doesn't sleep well, etc. Those things and the closeness of the two are what is overwhelming me, not to mention that Cash is gone during the week. I really expected to nurse Luke for a long time. I had a weekend of lots of dizziness and thought it could have to do with being pregnant and nursing so much. Lissa and others gave me good advice about trying to eat as much protein as possible. It has helped a lot and, I think because I've been forcing myself to eat all day, I haven't felt as horrible as I usually do during this crazy first trimester. I am still nursing Luke and will pray about tandem nursing as I've never done that before.
I know many women here have miscarried lately and many more of you are longing for another baby. I'm going to offer my uncertainties and sickness for all of you. I know this baby is a huge blessing and my kids are thrilled! (I'll have to share a few very precious things that were said by them in another post.) God's plan is so much bigger than my own!
I know I can come here for support, love, and prayers. Thank you!!

Wonderful news! I just posted a hearty congrats to Molly's thread! How fun!
If you have any specific questions/concerns when it comes to nursing during pregnancy and tandem (or how to continue to attachment parent both babies) please ask, I am no expert, but I have tons of hands on nitty gritty experience when it comes to this! :)
CONGRATS!!
