TTC after 35

So, Can I join you?

Hi.  I lurked here for months before I got my BFP in december, so I never posted.  Well, sadly, we ended up losing our twins at 9w6d.  We do want to have another LO, so we will try again, but probably not for several months. 

A little bit about me.  I'm 36, DH is 44.  We have 4 kitties.  We have a beautiful girl Penelope, that we loving call Penzilla - she walks like she is going to destroy your village (godzilla-style).  DH is an engineer, I'm a dental office manager.  We both work FT & have our DD in a daycare that we love.  

I have a FF account, it's just not currently in my siggy.  I do love the environment here, the support of everyone, as well as the maturity of the board, the humor, etc.  

Anyway, feel free to ask me anything you like.  I might not post tons just yet, but I did want to stop being such a dirty lurker.   Smile
