Positive Pregnancy Test!
I haven't posted in a while even though I have been lurking around every once in a while.
About eight weeks ago, I started acupuncture. I feel it's helped me a lot.
I changed how I ate based on my acupuncturist's advice, and she treated me according to where I was in my cycle.
I visit her weekly.
Anyway, the other day my best friend blurted out I think you are pregnant!
The same night, my mom told me my son said he wanted a brother.
The next morning (yesterday), I decided to test as my temperature was still up.
The second pink line was faint but got darker towards the three-minute mark.
I used a FRER [First Response Early Result pregnancy test].
I have an appointment to see the OB [obstetrician] this afternoon for blood work.
I am still in a fog! Think sticky bean!
Don't give up - we 40-somethings can do it!
TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
The Secret Diary of a New Mum Aged 43 1/4by Cari Rosen
-- Whatever your age, becoming a mum for the first time brings with it excitement, anxiety and numerous challenges.
But how do you cope when, to top it all, you discover you are old enough to be the mother of everyone else in your NCT group?
The story of one woman, one new baby, a slipped disc and rather too many wrinkles, The Secret Diary of a New Mum (Aged 43 1/4) follows the tale of a midlife mum as she tries to make the transition from experienced TV producer to utterly inexperienced parent.
One in five babies is born to a mum over 35, and the number of over 40s giving birth has doubled.
The first humorous narrative account of what it's really like to be a midlife mum - whether it's deftly side-stepping any questions about age and baby number two or weeping as younger counterparts ping back into their size ten jeans within thirty seconds of giving birth.
This is the thoroughly entertaining, insightful and often hilarious account of what happens as you face up to menopause and new motherhood at the same time.
