Congrats, Olive!!!Yes, you can continue breastfeeding ~ lots of people have. Just make sure your nutrition is really good & you keep the fluids up. I have known people who have continued to breastfeed after the new baby was born. Each child had their own breast & the body adjusted the milk formula accordingly. God is truely amazing.

Congrats! If I'm allowed in here since I'm not QF, but I couldn't help it my younger two are 13 months apart. I wish I had been told/encouraged to continue bfding my daughter when I became pregnant. It would have eased a lot of digestive issues for her. Anyway, congrats again.

Just relax, Olive. God has it all under control. You just enjoy, knowing he's given you another precious gift of his.

Olive that is just awesome! Congrats! 
I will pray for God to give you wisdom in the breastfeeding situation. That would be a difficult decision. What? No breastfeeding smilie?

We have these ones instead:
Sorry, Olive, I've done the potty training two at once & those diabolical boys of mine would send the hard to train one to me yelling, ''potty!'' leaving his twin to unlock father's tools undetected & nick off with them!!! What a bind to be in! The hours I wasted hopefully watching a child who produced nothing & hunting for that which wasn't to be found. It didn't help they had their own language & their English vocab was non~existant. After that I'm no longer sure I'm quite sane.

Congrats Oliveplants
I am about to have my 4th on the 10th of October too. I am not telling a single sole for a while till I get my head around it I will have 4 under 4. Praise God we will have babies around the same time
But God is in Control and he was in control of all of my bubs births I think this will be my last but I dont know.
Hope you are feeling well my boobs hurt I am sooo tired and hungry.
My first two were 13 months apart I gave up bf when I was 5 months preg. If you can I would recommend giving up sooner than that as my body took a hiding my iron was really low after that too.
Anyways God bless

Congratulations!!!
You can Totally continue to breastfeed! Many women nurse their babies/toddlers right on through a pregnancy and sometimes beyond to tandem nurse. Your milk supply will probably dip for awhile (but it will come back up as the baby nurses), the milk itself will change (probably already has), and you may notice your baby being a little fussier or something for awhile until she gets used to the new taste. Don't worry about that, it's totally normal (I've read it gets a little saltier tasting.) Your milk will change a Lot in your 3rd trimester to get ready for the new baby, and many babies wean themselves at that point... but a few stubborn ones don't.
Just be Super careful to take supplements. The unborn baby takes what he/she needs First, then the Nursing baby takes what she needs, then you get the left-overs, so be Really careful to eat and drink Way more than you normally do.
The Juice Plus stuff looks interesting! I couldn't find a label though to see the actual amounts of each thing. Keep an eye on your milk supply... if it seems to lower (beyond normal pregnancy stuff) then it could be the Parsley. Parsley will help dry up your milk if you take enough of it (which is different for each woman). The chances of there being That much in there are Very small, but I thought I'd better mention it.
Don't push solids on your baby until She's ready. Follow her cues just like you would if you weren't pregnant.
Congratulations again!

Thanks, J.
I hadn't heard that about parsley before. And yes, baby has been a bit fussy the last couple of days, but she slept ALL night last night and seems very happy this morning.
I am really trying to do this right; thanks all for the tips and encouragement. LIfe is exciting!

Congratulations!! Somewhere out there is either a tea or a tincture for nursing, pregnant mothers-- I'll see if I can hunt it down.
