Pregnant after 35

My turn: 35/35!

phew...I knew this would fly by - I knew it.  I've been trying to be patient and cherish every moment, even the aches and pains.  So far, I think I've been doing ok with that goal. 

But reality is starting to creep in.  In 5 weeks (give or take) I'm going to be a new mom (again).  And I tear up at the thought that DH is going to be a DAD for the first time (he's an amazing step dad already). 

Even at 42, a 'been there done that' mom, I'm nervous.  I'd be lying if I said otherwise.  It's a whole new ball game...but mostly I'm excited.  A little in disbelief, but excited. 

but 5 weeks left?  that just blows my mind!  (it doesn't help that it's still cold and gloomy here in Seattle - once the sun starts shining, IF it starts shining - then I'll feel like his birth is around the corner!) 

Here's to 5 more weeks of enjoying what is (likely) my last pregnancy (ok - now I'm crying...darn it!)

  • What a sweet post! Yes, it is a new ball game isn't it? Having two myself from what seems like 'long ago'--this is so different (in good ways and challenging ways--I totally agree). But you have a great attitude. I'm sure your family is so excited and ready to meet this LO and your DH sounds amazing. Blessings to you as you take it all in for 5 more weeks. What a gift.

  • Congratulations on a great milestone!  What a sweet post....
  • Congratulations!!! It is really going to go by fast now.  I can't believe I have less then 4 weeks.  Weren't we just like 11, 12 weeks not long ago? I'm with you on trying to enjoy the moments and savor them.  Before you know it, sleepless nights and feedings will be a part of our routines.  Along with loving on our LO's.
  • Aww .. now I'm tearing up .. dayum hormones!

  • Teardrops!!! Seriously these hormones!! Congratulations on 35/35.  Time seems to be flying for all of us right now. I just hit third trimester this week. I feel like it was just yesterday that I introduced myself to this post at 9 weeks.
