Surprise, it's positive!

I'm decided to start this blog because we just found out we were pregnant with baby number 3! With the first two, I wrote journals but always seemed to forget about them and missed important info so I decided maybe this would be easier. I want to tell about my pregnancy, week by week and maybe have something for my child to read when they are older.
Sooo, I just had my second daughter August 1, 2010. Dad and I decided to start trying again in September, but....I was trying to get on a regular cycle and took a test on the 6th of July and it said "Pregnant" (you know, one of those fancy digital ones). Called Dad, he didn't believe me, told me to tell him the truth, then made me take another while I was on the phone with him. We were both pretty much in shock. (I took 5 tests total over the next 2 days, just to make sure).
I worry about if the baby will be healthy, since I had a pretty hard pregnancy last time and two preemies. Also worry about how much work I am going to miss. I will probably be on bedrest from January till the baby is born, then 6-8 weeks off. Will it be born in February? Early?-Due date is March 10.
I made an appointment with the nurse in a couple weeks and another with the doctor in August. I go back to school the middle of August and wonder if I should tell the principal in case he needs to find somebody else to take my students to Puerto Rico in December.
Physically, I'm a bit more tired, but I've been very busy. I've had some slight cramping but nothing serious. My hands started itching (I had this nasty Cholestasis last time-made me itch like CRAZY!) but I think it's too soon for that to start again!
Oh, and I'm still nursing so I'm worried my boobs are gonna start hurting too bad to keep it up. Younger Dear Daughter (the baby) seems a bit distracted while nursing but still wants to as often as normal. Is she gonna wean herself or will I have to try and feed them both? We will see!
