Hi Ladies- I've been lurking for a little bit and since I made our announcement Facebook official, I'm intro-ing here too. I've been nervous this whole go around. After 2 easy, no issues pregnancies with 2 healthy babies, I had two back to back miscarriages this year. The first one ended on our wedding anniversary in March. The second, in June, while we were in the car (I was driving) on the highway with no where to pull over.
I've been monitored more carefully this time because my midwife is amazing and totally understanding. She is new to my OB's office and I adore her. I've had two ultrasounds and all is looking good. We have a fetal doppler, so I recently started listening to baby every few days for peace of mind. I've been taking progesterone supplements since ~10 weeks this time since my levels were on the lower end. I'm now on one pill a day and will be totally off by the end of this week.
Baby is due 5/5. This will be baby #5 for our family. I have two school age step children. Kiddos will be 12, 10, 4 & 2 when this one arrives. Here is our 'promotion' announcement.

Thank you to everyone! It's great to be here.
My husband is the Disney fanatic in our house! My DS's middle name is Elias (Walter Elias Disney). This one's name will have a Disney tie too. Our next trip is booked for Aug 2013, so we'll be taking this little squirt for their 1st trip.
