lol, I know...right?!? It seems so soon to be having 'baby brain". But I seriously am. Today I was embroidering a name on something for someone, and not paying attention, finished the product, and realized I spelled "SOPHIA" as "SOPKIA"...oh man, what a bummer, had to re-do the whole thing

WOW...congrats on getting your "princess" I had 3 boys before having my daughter, and what a treat she is! Girls are definitely so different from boys. I wouldn't trade her for anything, but she is "HIGH MAINTENANCE" compared to the boys. And 8 all-together...that's amazing!!! You are a great woman How are you feeling?

Kat... Congrads!!!

I understand your concerns. I am 40 and we had a MC this past August. I was depressed and thought with my age we would not be able to have another. But in October we were pregnant again. Our son is due in July. I also have a 17 year old son, along with a 15 year old DD, 10 year old DD, and a 3 year old DD. We are excited for a boy. My son is too busy with his life starting that he seems indifferent about the baby, he is positive about it but not always on his mind. My 15 year old DD is the most excited and always wants to know what is happening. My 10 year old doesn't care for the idea and says there is enough of them. Hopefully she comes around when he gets here.
I have really high blood pressure and have been on medication since day one. I also have gestational diabetes. I take 5 insulin shots a day. But I am growing a healthy baby boy. I feel old and tired but would not change it for the world. My age plays a big factor in my medical issues, but women do it all the time.

Congrats to you again and I hope you have a easy pregnancy. Enjoy each day.

Nickb and Julie...thanks. so great to know there are others Julie...your kids ages are similar to mine My oldest son is going to be 18 in a month, and he was mad when we told him. he is better now, but doesn't bother with the thought. my youngest, my daughter, is most excited. she thinks the baby will be hers though, like her dolls. she even thinks she will pick the name. her dolls have names like "chocolate" and "carriage" so i hate to disappoint her, but she is NOT choosing the name, lol. July is getting close, you must be pretty ready by now? I am exhausted and I have only just begun. today was 95 degrees and just the heat made me want to crawl into bed.

Do you get the "were you trying for a girl, or the looks like wow omg " lol anything along those lines ? Congrats, we are only 2 weeks apart in our due dates roughly I will be having Alyssa in August tho, well that's the plan

88 here today. I don't leave the central air much. LOL. I was tired my whole pregnancy. Sleeping at night is terrible. I only got a few hours and then I am wide awake. My OB says it is my body getting ready for the night feedings. Luckily on a good day I can DD to take a nap with me. Today was one of those days. DH will be home in an hour so I need to fix dinner. He has been awesome about helping when I need it. I seem to swell up just standing at the stove. The Dr and myself are worried about preeclampsia. I go 2x a week for NSTs. I just started last week and he has been non reactive. They end up watching him on an ultrasound. Tuesday I had protein in my urine, so I am anxious to see if I still do tomorrow when I go. My OB said she is going to induce me at 38 weeks, but she really doesn't think I will hold out that long. I still need a few more things before he decides to make an appearance.

I am 37. I have a 16 yr old son, a 12 yr old daughter a 8 yr old son and a boy who will be 3 in Aug.! This baby was an opps. My hubby is 46 so we were not planning on any more babies. Now that I saw the 2 lines I am excited and more worried this time around. I read too much online about all the horrible things that happen after a mom is 35 and when the dad is older its not good either. I would love to stay positive that is why I looked for a forum like this... Anyway congrats to you!

MOM2TOOMANY...lol, I like your screename
That's awesome...congrats to you
Your kids are spaced apart similar to mine. I can honestly say, my 4th was an "oops", but we were thrilled to get our girl Another "oops" almost 3 years ago, but ended in MC I took that really hard. I decided to try after that. We tried and tried and tried with no luck. It consumed my life. So we stopped trying. We just decided "if it happens it happens". And now, it happened. I was pretty much in shock when I saw those 2 lines appear on that test. But still, we are thrilled to be adding our 5th Kinda crazy since my oldest is graduating highschool this week, lol.

Hi Ladies - very early days for me, bit dubious about coming over to this side of the board so early but...

I found out 2 days ago I am pregnant with number 5 -My DD 18, DS's 15,11 and 2 (almost 3) and thinking of going team yellow this time. We have been trying for 3 cycles and even though was devastated with the last few months of disappointment , I am now cacking it about my BFP haha -Dunno if it is an age thing or what????

Scared about what people will think tbh! Isn't that crazy?? Grown woman scared about opinions and comments from other people!!

Anyway congrats on your BFPs and hope I can keep you company on your journeys xxxx

[wannabubba#4]

Hi onemorebump - my hubby is delighted and I think kids will be too lol and I suppose everyone else will just have to get on with it - haha am expecting some really surprised looks though, and probably disapproving ones from some. But I am loving it.

Congrats to you xxx

 

[CosMayah]

Me, too. 36 and expecting my 5th. My youngest is 9 and my oldest is about to turn 17, Geez! But, this pregnancy is a wee bit different. I was in a less than super fabulous relationship for 10 years with my first 4 and just kept getting preggers the minute I stopped bf'ding. This time around my perfectly, ideal husband and I came to the conclusion in Dec.'12 that it's time to have 'our' baby. We have been married for four years and we are just so over the top joy-filled. Glad to see such a wave of the perfect age (35+) having babies)

 

[ALISON69]

I am 44 and this is number 6, I already have 1 boy 24 years and 4 girls 22, 20, 12 and 5.

And this little was a oops

 

[4boys1girl]

Welcome CosMayah and Alison! So exciting for you both. Do you know what the gender is?
