Intro (need something catchy here)

Hi, Ladies. Apologies if you've read my intro in other groups. It's easy to copy & paste, but I don't know if that's bad etiquette.
I'm just about at four weeks, two days. I'm 37 today(!), and I've been married ten years. We've always talked about having a child when the time was right, but between employment and health issues, the timing never seemed to be right. It's still not great. But all of a sudden this fall my ovaries started screaming at me to reproduce. I thought I'd want to just relax and enjoy TTC and being pregnant, but so far this has been nothing but nerve wracking! I've been spotting every day since implantation, and anything that puts pressure on my cervix seems to trigger it. So for right now sex and a lot of my preferred workouts are out. And the insomnia is really getting to me already.
Other pertinent info about me: I'm a Type 2 diabetic (taking metformin) who loves long walks and weight lifting. I have mild gastroparesis & not-so-mild GERD. I'm the breadwinner of the household. We have one dog and one cat.
Despite being a bundle of wracked nerves, I'm excited to share this journey with everyone here.
