Just wanted to introduce myself and say hi and that I am glad there is a place whre I can vent all my anxieties, frustrations and excitement about being a mom to be. I just married my husband last year and we have ben TTC for about 8 months. I am an older mom to be (32) . I just found out I am about 2 weeks pregnant (very soon I know). I am excited and nervous at the same time. My DH and I have only told our parents and a few others until I am further a long so it's nice to come here and talk about things. So anyways, I look forward to getting to know you ladies and share stories and secrets.
Re: Introduction
Congratulations! How are you feeling thus far? I'm also a first timer in my 30s -- just turned 33 in December and found out I am 5 weeks along. It's hard to keep the secret! We've told our parents and two siblings, but there are 8 siblings between us. My sister in-law miscarried in the summer, though she's now pregnant again and due in May. Because of that, I'm a little freaked out. I'm a university professor and even though school just started, two people in two classes asked when I was going to have a baby. I had a hard time keeping a straight face or speaking for that matter. I think it mostly has to do with my age and the fact that I'm married w/out children, but still... I'm a little paranoid, like, can they tell already?!?!?! So silly.
