Pregnant after 35
I'm still here!
Hi everyone! Sorry I disappeared for awhile. I was here, but not posting or responding...I tend to isolate when I'm stressed, and it has been nerve-wracking waiting for the first ultrasound. Well, it was yesterday, and everything is WONDERFUL! Our Little Jellybean's heart is beating away at 166 BPM. We're being referred to a genetics counselor because of B's "advanced maternal age" ... which is 36. Hopefully that goes well.I've been drawing strength from you ladies even though I've been quiet, and I won't be so quiet anymore! 
(MODS: I also posted this in my BMB, I hope that's okay!)
(MODS: I also posted this in my BMB, I hope that's okay!) One of my best friends ("B") offered to be our surrogate, and we're now expecting a baby in April 2013 after two cycles of natural IUI at the Jones Institute. For medical reasons, we are not biologically related to our unborn child. Yes, I guess that makes this a "planned adoption."
Waiting for our Miracle Baby, Carly Marie, Due April 24, 2013!
