    Haha.. love it, and congratulations! By the way, never self diagnose early signs of labour on the Internet either. I was lulled into a false sense of securty and ended up having a very unexpected and unplanned home delivery…

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Thank you so much x

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Oh wow, I definitely didn't! Will take your advice for number 2 :)

    Baahaa haaa haaaa Stacey!! That. Is. Awesome!!

    CONGRATS!!!! xx

  • Corrie

    oh my gosh congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! don't worry! the last 2 babies I've gone around feeling a bit off, a bit tired and thinking I must have a bug – and then when I'm 2 weeks late I put 2 + 2 together and realise I better do a test! And I'm going to be the mother of 5 children so you would think I would know the signs! congrats! you have a gorgeous pregnant body to make the rest of us jealous!
    Corrie:)

  • http://magnetoboldtoo.com/ Kelley @magnetoboldtoo

    you should have consulted Dr Kelley.  xx

  • http://themummyautobiography.com/ Miss Pink

    Oh my! FUCKING CONGRATULATIONS!!!! I am swooning. Mini Veggie Baby #2 will do nothing for my already long run of baby fever. At least the extra iron won't hurt in this case!

  • http://mrsbcshouseofchaos.blogspot.com.au/ Mrs BC

    Oh my GOSH congratulations that is fantastic news! just goes to show you that Dr Google is clueless ;)
    xx

  • http://twitter.com/greenteantoast Anna Coates

    Oh my god! How exciting. At the end of that post I was wondering what on earth it could have been. That's lovely news! Now brace yourself for life with two! X

  • Deb

    Firstly, congratulations! 
    Secondly, that was extremely well written. I would never have guessed and actually laughed out loud.

  • http://www.tinysavages.com Mrs Savage

  • JessicaNazarali

    Hahaha I laughed so much when I read the punch line! Congrat! xx

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    I know! Severe!

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Aw that is sad, you make beautiful babies. Wanna share VB2?

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    So far so good! I can't wait to annoy everyone with double the cuteness :)

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    It all totally makes sense now!

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Haha with veggie baby, I knew almost straight away. This one just snuck in! I hadn't had a period yet, so didn't even realise I was ovulating! Whoops! Well, it's not our fault, we're *tired.
    *

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    You would have diagnosed me with something exotic, like Duchess of Cambridge syndrome, where I get gorgeous hair and a puppy.

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    hah my baby fever burns red hot! Might have to slow down after this one. Take a cold bath or something!

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    yeah, where did he get his degree?!

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    ha, I was worried people would guess before they got to the good bit! I'm glad I kept y'all confused :)

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Aw, I'm so pleased to hear! I love a good story, but sometimes what's in my head doesn't translate to excellent writing, haha. And that's despite the journalism degree!

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    You ain't slack, you beautiful. Would love to see you when there's double the cuteness :)

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    haha the things google does, huh? Google should ask twitter.

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Aw thank you! I had fun writing it :)

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    The world needs MOAR!

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Excellent! I laughed too when i got over the shock :)

  • http://twitter.com/traceyb65 Tracey Lee Baglin

    no such thing as a little bit pregnant! congratulations.  xt

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    haha no, it's a severe case or nothing! Thanks!

  • ANB of Suburban Sonnet

    Funny post and wonderful news, congrats! Hope you start feeling better soon.

  • http://www.blossomheartblog.com/ Alyce

    AH!! Congratulations!! I was wondering if that was where this post was headed when you listed your “anemia” symptoms :D

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Thank you so much! I can't wait til I can get off the couch ;-)

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    haha I figured someone had to work it out before the end!

  • Cup and Saucer

    HI!
     Love the Pic too. Congrats on the positive diagnosis! Ripper! I did that once and had diagnosed myself with a very rare intestinal cancer, only to find out that it was anxiety causing my digestive issues. I have been banned from Dr Google since then!
    Hope you are having a good veggie style celebration xx

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Haha usually I'm pretty good with diagnoses, but not this time! Silly Google.

  • http://www.singularinsanity.com/ Dorothy @ Singular Insanity

    Congratulations!!!

    Well that's just bloody fantastic. 

  • http://lifeloveandhiccups.blogspot.com Sonia@ LIfe Love and Hiccups

    OMG I just dropped my iPad in all my excitement. CONGRATULATIONS!!!!! Well that explains the Gaytime craving lol. That is fabulous news Hun and I am thrilled for you. :) xx

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Thank you so much! Glad I wasn't holding anything when I found out, haha

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    I think it's pretty awesome :)

  • Elise

    Hahaha that's brilliant! Congratulations on your 9 month 'illness'! I've done the whole net diagnosis thing before, I find for me it just creates symptoms, “I've got everything on this symptom list except for that… well maybe I do kind of have that..”. In the end I see the light though (thankfully before I decide to race off to the doctor in a panic) and just shake my head at my general bullshittery.

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    I've actually been pretty good with it – I can honestly say this is the first time I've been very, very wrong!

  • http://www.crashtestmummy.com.au/ Laney @ Crash Test Mummy

    Congratulations!  That is very cool and very funny too :)

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama

    Haha thanks. Now that I'm over the shock, I think it's super cool!

  • From Mum to Me

    Hi Veggie Mama, this is classic.  Didn't see that one coming – congratulations!

  • Mummy Issues Part 2

    Bwahahahahahaha! Awesome. Congratulations

  • http://www.theveggiemama.com Veggie Mama
