OMG...I'm back!

Haribo1Haribo1
in Pregnant after 35

Hello ladies,

I'm not sure if some of you remember me, but we are on our way to "2 under 2". DH and I are pretty shocked as this was not planned.  We were still deciding whether we wanted to be "one and done" or if we should have a second. It looks like it was decided for us =)  As the initial shock wears off, and the intimidation of being 39 with two little ones softens, I am sure the excitement will set in.  I thought I knew my body based on temping and watching cervical fluid for our first, so I figured I would be able to "tell" when I was fertile so we could abstain, but I guess not =)  

I look forward to sharing this journey again with all of you!

Haribo

    Thanks Elf.  It is definitely a huge shock. In the grand scheme of things, we knew that if we were going to have a second, we wanted it to happen quickly.  However, I am still shocked and overwhelmed!  I know we should have been smarter about things, taken precautions until we knew we were really ready, etc.  I feel like a 20 year old who should have known better!!

    I think you were around a little when I first started out on ttc>35 back in may 2010. I have been quite fortunate in the meantime to make it to this side. Hopefully in the next few days, I will be outta here as well :)

    Anyhoo, congrats on your nice little surprise!

    Wowzers! What a surprise! It's so funny to think about an unsuspected pregnancy when we (well, some of us!) usually have to work SO hard and know SO much about our body's fertility at this age. I still remember you from TTC>35. Congrats and I'll look forward to being here with you for the long haul.
