Let me first say that I'm over the moon with my baby surprise!
After two beautiful kids, fertility issues and basically not taking any precautions for the last 5 years, I truly thought another baby just wasn't in the cards for us! Lo and behold a BFP the day before my 40th! So happy but a little freaked out too!
I think my hubby is having a hard time adjusting! I know he's happy but it just hasn't sunk in yet and I kinda feel like I'm alone in this at the moment! Hoping he'll be as excited as I am soon!
So are any of you expecting a little surprise of your own? Anyone facing 40 out there? Feeling a little nervous about being a little past my prime years!
Re: Any other "Surprise" pregnancies out there?
Me! I am 37 and I have a 7 and 10 year old. This #3 is a surprise! I found out last Monday. All I can think about is all the things I have to do again!.. But I will love it!
*raises hand* This pregnancy was a bit of a surprise, but we were planning on TTC next year anyway. We're so excited for this baby, even if the timing isn't the best for us.
Congratulations!

After 1 year of TTC#2 BFP May 2011 m/c #3 4w2d. Off to RE.
Round 1: Femara + Ovidrel +TI = BFP! EDD 2/20/12
2IF does not always equal 3IF...Surprise!
Surprised for sure! I was using a fertility monitor for the past 6 months. We wanted to get pregnant, but after 3 months of trying we decided to pause the baby and book a Disney cruise with 20+ other family members. I did all the research & was telling everyone that the baby either had to be 3+ months old or they couldn't be entering their 24th week. Well, I was still using the fertility monitor & it tested as a low day & I knew medium & high days were coming so we took advantage of the low day to find out 2 weeks later that we are pregnant! Guess when the cruise is booked???? The week after my due date! My mom says that she's still taking my boys on the cruise...
We are also going to Disney tomorrow, I knew that the weather would be hot, but I didn't plan on being 7 weeks preggo, tired, and kinda nauseous!
God's timing is not always my timing, but the end result will be perfect!
My first was absolutely a surprise. I'd been told I just wouldn't be able to get pregnant, and I did. On my honeymoon.
This time, we were trying, but were actually taking the month off because I was waiting for my first prescription of Clomid. Yup, I got pregnant the month before I was supposed to start taking it.
