Pregnant after 35

Announcement day!

I had a successful u/s today (12w3d) and posted an announcement on Facebook!  It is so exciting to see everyone I know discover it.

Baby girl is doing well. She was already measuring a day ahead and now she is measuring ANOTHER day ahead. I got to hear her heartbeat for the first time, too. This is her first picture looking like an actual baby. You can see her little hand by her face. So cute.

I think I'm past the scary part. I won't have an u/s for another 8 weeks, but I think I can manage.

  • Oh, that pic is adorable! Love her little hand up there! Congrats on a great u/s and on announcing! I hope you get so much love.
  • Congratulations, so awesome! The 12 to 20 week u/s wait was a hard one for me too, but it made me happy to have the doppler checks during my in-between appointments and hear the HB, so there's always that to look forward to.
  • A good ultrasound at 12 weeks is so reassuring. I love that you can see her tiny fingers in the ultrasound. 
  • So stinking cute!! Love love love :)
  • Yay! So wonderful to see the LO doing her thing and I'm sure it's a relief and very exciting to finally get to share the news!
  • Love it! Congrats on the milestone!

  • I'll have one appt between now and then. The nurse actually suggested that I get my own Doppler, but I'll wait and see if I have anxiety.

  • Congratulations! You must be so relieved to have a positive ultrasound and to have beautiful pictures of your baby girl.
  • Yay!! I'm so jealous, I can't wait to start announcing to people (I'm really struggling with keeping it a secret!). The pic is so precious. It seems more real when they start looking like actual little humans. So happy for you!!!
