January 2015 Moms

First time poster - long time reader

Hi Everyone!

After following your stories for the past couple of months I decided it's time I finally introduce myself.

My husband and I are both 37 and after trying to get pregnant for 8 years my husband and I had finally come to peace with the fact that we were going to be parents to our then 4 yr old son whom we adopted when he was 1.  We had always pictured our family having lots of kids and dogs running around.  Having 3 dogs we had that part taken care of but it looked like we'd have 1 - amazing, healthy and smart son, and we were more than happy with that.

This past Spring I had noticed that I was "late" but had been training to run my first half marathon so I figured that it was just my body adjusting itself.  A few weeks after my run I decided to just go buy a test so that I could just rule that out and for the first time in my life there were 2 lines.  To say I was shocked is a huge understatement!  My husband has had a grin on his face since that day and our now 5 yr old son is excited about the baby coming and often comments that my belly is getting bigger so the baby is getting bigger too.  I know he is going to be a great, big brother.

We are due January 28th and are team green.  We figured everything about this baby has been a surprise, we'll just continue the trend.


After 8 yrs of ttc little one is due Jan. 28

Big brother is excited to meet this little one!

  • Welcome!  Very similar story to my DH and I :-)  We were trying for 5 years and went through some infertility treatment.  We were going through adoption home study with our state and I was a few days late.  This was somewhat normal but I still took a test just to calm my mind.  I got the plus sign!  I am 37 also :-)  I look forward to chatting with you.  Congrats!!
    Live like there is no tomorrow..Love like you have never been hurt...
