I am 43 years old, and just found out I am pregnant.
Yikes!
I am already a single mom of two kids - eight and nine years old.
I went through a very nasty divorce about two years ago, but I live with my wonderful boyfriend now.
He has never had children and is excited about the prospect of a baby.
Me, I am not so sure.
TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
Empty Womb, Aching Heart: Hope and Help for Those Struggling With Infertility

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
