Surprise!

Well, well, well.  So I didn't think it could surprise me like this, an experienced older woman wise in the ways of the world.  HA!  Life has a way of kicking you in the arse.

Yep, we're pregnant.  Believe me, 3 home tests later I was still doubtful, but by now, well, the evidence is overwhelming.  We have a bun in the over which we are affectionately calling "mocoso."  Loosely translated, it's little snot.  Or mucous little snot.  N was originally a variation of that, "moquillo", which in the limited English language is also little snot.

It's hard not to draw comparisons between this time around and last, when we were cooking N.  I think I'm in better shape, I'm more experienced, and I know what to expect.  I thought somehow we found out sooner this time around, but I went back to read my blog about N's pregnancy, and it seems we found out at about the same exact time!  Between 5 and 6 weeks.

I was fascinated reading my whole experience from start to finish, and I'm glad I kept a blog when it was still kind of new (before FB!  Imagine that!).  I thought you might be interested too reading about my first time being pregnant back in 2005.  So here's the link: http://bebecorrea.blogspot.com

Wow, 2005!  Was it that long ago??  It's almost 8 years later (N is 7 now!), and sometimes I FEEL 8 years older.  I have to admit I have mixed feelings about this.  It was not planned, expected, etc, so it really threw us for a loop, but now we are kind of hyped about it.  And we keep thinking ahead to the sleepless nights, the endless diapers, the constant vigilance, and I know we're both thinking, "Aren't we supposed to be relaxing on a Friday night with a good movie and a glass of wine at this stage of our life?"

No, I guess not, that's not what Life had in store for us I guess.  Welcome Mocoso!
