Pregnant after 35

I think it's time for my intro...

Hello ladies! I am 35 years old and I am 14 weeks pregnant with my 2nd child. I also have a 3.5 year old boy. 

It has taken us quite awhile to get here.  2.5 years in fact.  As you can see from the siggy, we tried naturally for a long time, then starting testing, followed by 2 IVF cycles, which were unsuccessful...and then got our little miracle surprise BFP in October.

I think I feel confident enough to intro here now, although I am a complete worry wart about this pregnancy, given our recent struggles.

Looking forward to getting to know everyone!!
