OT- OMG I'm having a baby

So I just found out we are having a baby. I am in shock. Going to Dr. tomorrow to find out the details.

We have been married 18.5 years. At year 2 we tried to have a baby, no luck. We used fertility drugs and had a baby boy at 5 years of marriage. For the last 13.5 years we have never used birth control and hoped for a baby. 15 months ago we adopted our DD.

We are shocked and a little worried. I am 37, so there are some concerns. We never dreamed this would happen. We have had 4 specialist tell us that without additional fertility treatments we would not be able to have any more children. So our family of 4 will be a family of 5 soon. With a 13 year old- 2 year old and an infant (guessing May).

37? YOU'RE A BABY YOURSELF

Seriously a friend of mine, same thing, first child AND she gave birth at home with a Midwife! AT 44!!!!

That is so wonderful. I always wondered if we should have stopped trying when we did because these miracles seem to happen more than people think!

Good luck, so happy for you!!!!!!! Check out this blog, i think you'll appreciate it Antique Mommy
