Oops I did it again

My second born. My baby. My last child. My unexpected, but more than welcome, surprise. I was dieing to have another baby, but my more than practical husband said it was best to wait until Kaitlyn was 3 then we could try again. Well my husband forgot that I am pretty irresponsible when it comes to taking care of myself and I am a procrastinator. I noticed that I was down to one week left on my last package of birth control and that the prescription was going to run out in 2 days. I called in my last refill the day before it expired. The automated voice said the prescription would be filled and would be ready to pick up at my requested time. I went to go pick up my prescription and the pharmacist told me the doctor said I needed to come in for an appointment before they would issue me a refill...stupid automated voice. They wanted me to come in for a pap because I had some abnormal cells while I was pregnant with Kaitlyn and even though I had TWO colposcopies come back negative they wanted to be on the safe side. So I scheduled my butt to get to the doctor the following week. I was in and out no problem which is a feet in and of itself because I got the chatty midwife who likes to talk really fast and doesn't let me really speak so I just nod my head yes or no. I went straight to the pharmacy to get my refill and got my pills. I missed a weeks worth of pills but figured it was ok and I would start back up on that Sunday. It was only a week and I had a whole year of being on the darn things and it took me so long to get pregnant the first time I thought I would be one of those people who would have to get off the pill 6 months before we started trying for baby number two. WRONG indeed! The first time I had sex with my hubby after a week of no pills and I get pregnant. I know exactly when it happened too. The exact day of implantation. We had sex on a Saturday and the fertilized egg implanted on Monday. How do I know? I felt it. A little sharp pain on the right side of my abdomen. I have only felt that pain once before...when Kaitlyn implanted. I took a pregnancy test on Wednesday...remember procrastinator and it was positive. So Kaitlyn was only 16 months old and I was having another one. I was deathly afraid to tell Jerry and I even cried while I told him. To my surprise, he was thrilled! Yeah, it wasn't what we had planned, but we were never good planners anyway. Whoopee! Now I just had to keep quiet for about 8 weeks...yeah right.
