Hi ladies!
I've been lurking since my BFP at 9 dpo back in September. I told myself I'd intro and start participating if I made it to 8 weeks and there was still a little bean/heartbeat. Luckily, everything went well at my appointment today, so here I am.
I'm a FT working mom to a 4-year-old daughter and almost 3-year-old son (they're 17 months apart). I've lived in Southern CA for the past 8 years, but grew up Maryland (DC area), and lived in New England for a couple years before coming here.
This is my 6th pregnancy - prior to my daughter being born, we had three losses, and we've also dealt with some infertility (needed help having our first child). This time around, I'm pretty nervous about possible genetic issues due to age (I'm 35 and my husband is 40), and also about potential heart defects (my son needed open heart surgery at 5 months old but is totally healthy now). Putting this all out there, I'm sure we sound crazy for even trying again!
Anyway, for now I'm super excited to be pregnant and joining you all, and I hope that we all get to hang out together until we have healthy babies
