Pregnant after 35

I'm back with #2! (Intro)

Hi ladies! 

My name is Daniele and I am pregnant again-- but staying cautiously optimistic because of a history of loss in the first tri. After taking 18 months (and one loss) to conceive my DD (b. 6/1/13), we got pregnant on the first cycle after getting AF back post partum. My EDD is 12/30, so my kids will be 18-19 months apart! And I'll be 40 when I deliver! Crazy! 

Sooooo currently I'm on progesterone suppositories (again) to support the pregnancy until week 12 or 14 or thereabouts. And dealing with the typical worries of being newly pregnant at this age. After such a wonky cycle (I O'd on CD 31 instead of my usual CD 15!) and no MS, I am waiting to see/hear a heartbeat on May 30th before I get my hopes up. 

Anyhow, other than that-- I live in Maine with MH, my DD, a dog, and a cat. I'm a nurse who works 3 days a week.

I look forward to spending the next 9 months getting to know some of you and sharing that cup of crazy (and exhaustion!) that is PG > 35!

    You are so close! How exciting! Are you just aching to meet your LO? Are you Team Green or one of the others?

    It's a little boy.   I'm getting anxious to get him on the outside, but trying to stay relaxed and let him do his thing.

  • @Jilliansmama: I had no idea you were back on here! That's hysterical! My dd's due date was 6/4/13 but she came early! 

    @QOTR: I totally hear you. I got really impatient the last month. I had lots of conversations with my belly about how awesome it was out here.
