Can I join?

Hi all you fellow "high maternal age" ladies!! Don't you hate that? LOL! Well, I have been cautious about joining in on discussions since I had a miscarriage back in August, but I am trying to be positive...so here we go! A little background on me: I was married in 2006, had my DD in 2007 at age 36 divorced in 2010 (the best decision I've ever made in my life!), and married my best friend of over 17 years in June 2013. To our surprise and with excitement, we found out in July 2013 that I was pregnant. Since we are both in our 40's, (I will be 43 in July, he will be 45 in June) we worried that it would be hard for us to get pregnant. Unfortunately, at my 8 week appt., there was no heartbeat. Since the m/c, we have been trying, and finally got a BFP about 2 weeks ago, and I am due 1/15/15. I am excited, but at the same time, get scared all the time...but I always tell myself that every pregnancy is different, and just because I lost the last one, this one will be healthy and happy! I look forward to getting to know all of you in these next 9 months!
