Oldie but not new mommy - Intro

Hi everyone! I just got my BFP this morning, and as I'm a short cycle kind of gal who ovulates early, I'm really very early in my pregnancy (FF says I'm only 3 weeks 6 days). But that digi FRER was very clear, I'm so happy to get to come on over here and meet all of you!

DH and I were married in August and I immediately went off the pill to start TTC. I'm an 'older' mom, my daughter from a previous marriage turned 18 in October so I'm truly starting all over again from scratch with the whole baby thing - of course with all the attendant doubts about whether or not I'm nuts to be even contemplating this craziness! But in the end, we really do want a baby together, it will be the first for my MIL and, even though far apart, a sister for my daughter which she's very excited about even as she prepares to head off to college in April.

My EDD of August 29 is actually just shy of two weeks before my 40th birthday - wow, when I say it out loud it sounds so weird! So, although I've done the baby/mommy thing before, it really does feel like worlds and ages ago, things seem to have changed a great deal in 18 years. Strollers, anyone - yowsers, they have more features on them now than my car! lol It speaks volumes that there wasn't even internet around when I was pregnant with DD in 1994, what a whole new world of information there is to explore this time around.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to sharing this wonderful pregnancy journey with all of you! :)

Welcome!

If it makes you feel any better, I'm only 31, and I'm totally baffled by the high-tech-ness of strollers Wink
