Hello!
I'm still rather stunned to have finally gotten a BFP, but ... that was Monday and the line has been getting darker ever since, so - I think I go here now!
I just turned 42 last Saturday and have a May '14 dd; took about a year and a half of TTC with two very early (5.5 weeks) miscarriages along the way to get her. It's been about a year and a half of trying now, too (really wanted another sooner, to have only 2 years between, but beggars can't be choosers!), though I am kinda a slacker at ttc - there were several months when life was life and we just missed the window. But also enough months that I thought we had good timing that I was starting to think it just wouldn't happen.
I guess edd is Sept 8th but I wasn't charting or doing opks this month so wouldn't be surprised if that shifts a bit when I have a dating ultrasound.
Like several others mentioned in other threads I'm having all kinds of different thoughts/emotions/reactions at different times, including a fair amount of panic/"what have I done?" Even though I absolutely want this baby, want dd to have a sibling, and have been waiting/trying so long.
Also dh and I are not doing well right now (though were better for a couple well-timed weeks earlier this month) which curbs the excitement but oh well. At least he was helpful in camouflaging my not drinking at dinner tonight - I guess that is something positive.
Have been visiting with family the last few days and did not want to tell them so soon plus do not want dd to know yet, so, other than daily poas and praying the line doesn't start to get lighter, and now reading&introing here, haven't done anything else related to this pregnancy. Will call Tuesday to make appt - haven't had privacy to this week.
Otherwise, as far as intro goes ... I'm a first grade teacher. I am rambly and overuse slashes, parentheses, and semicolons. I like outdoors stuff but am not hardcore (day trip hiking and kayaking - yes, please. Rock climbing, winter backpacking, etc - nope, too much of a wuss). I love cats and have two. I was being good for a while but have slipped back into wasting much too much time playing candy crush, two dots, and words with friends.
My screen name is pronounced spring (obvs.)-bay-duck, more or less. Beduk means frog in my h's native language.
Looking forward to getting to know this group of September mamas-to-be, and wishing you all a H&H 9 months!
