I felt unusally tired after work a couple of weeks ago, I just collapsed in bed and had a nap...
then during that week I felt so ill every day...
I can't be pregnant again?!!... I had a hunch I was...
A week went by, and no period... oh no...
yep, it's happened again!
I kept it a secret from Michael for a couple of weeks. I was so worried that he would be upset...we didn't plan for another baby - yet. A million things went going through my mind for days and I couldn't sleep at night. Where is this baby going to sleep? Our third room is Michael's studio. We will have to move. So I checked Real Estate.com.au and discovered that there was no chance in the world that we could afford to up grade unless we bought a house and land package deal out in those estates on the outer skirts of Melbourne - which was definately a NO for us!! (No offence to anyone who lives there or is planning to). We'd have to stay. We would have to kick Michael out of his studio, he would have to find a space to rent so he can continue being an artist and we would have to renovate again!! Oh GOD!!! Where would we find the money to do this?
I made curry - which Mike loves and I finally caught up the courage to tell Mike over dinner on Sunday night (after we had been to his brother's birthday party). I took a deep breath and said 'Mike, I am scared to tell you but... a long pause... we are having another baby...' He looked at me and said WOW!! He had the biggest smile on his face and I burst out into tears!! He asked me why I was crying. I said I don't know. He asked me if I was happy? I said of course I am but we didn't plan for this and I am scared. Mike said it will all work out. He told me that having another baby makes him so happy!! We did want another child but we had planned for a longer gap between Morri and the 2nd one - 3 or 4 years difference? But hey, life is full of surprises and Peckling II was definately a surprise!!
I told him my fears of having to accomodate our second child and how we were going to cope. He agreed that he would have to kick himself out of his studio and renovate again!! He told me that this baby couldn't have come at a better time. I said 'huh'? I told him that baby #2 will be expected around the same time as what Morri was - October!! At least my wardrobe is already organised - as my Maternity clothes are winter gear and baby #2 won't have too much worries about it's atire - Morri's newborn clothes will be suitably fitted seeing as baby # 2 is expected the same time as Morri.
We both hugged and cried together - with Mike saying we are going to have another baby!!... Morri will have a hard time coping with having his birthday so close to his younger sibling - but we will tackle that one when it comes around!!

I got all emotional reading this Yvanne! It reminded me so much of when I got pregnant with Annie - the whole, 'How am I going to tell him? thing.' Those Peck boys surprise us sometimes.... I'm sooo happy for you both and will enjoy joining you on your journey.
Congratulations!
