I turned 35 yesterday. I also found out I am pregnant. We weren't planning to even start trying for another baby for another 6 months. I had so much trouble trying to get pregnant with Leslie that I never thought I would just "get" pregnant. I am happy and nervous and scared. I've miscarried before and Leslie's pregnancy was very problematic. I am already showing the same signs as before so I've only told my Mom & Sister because I need their support. I don't want to tell too many other people because I've had to go back before and say "oh by the way I am not anymore" and that is one of the hardest things to do. I've had blood work done today and they'll do it again Thursday to see if my hormone levels are rising. This is how I found out last time that I would miscarry. I am scared and needed to tell someone so I am telling you guys. You are all wonderfully understanding people and I would appreciate it if you would hold a good thought for the little peanut. A birthday present you have to wait 9 months to open! [Big Grin]

Happy Belated Birthday, dawnmaria. My thoughts are with you that in about nine months or so you'll have another little one waking you up in the middle of the night.

*Hugs*

p.s. I am not religous, but I hope that if there is any sort of supreme being he or she will protect your child.

If it's a boy, will you name him Peanut?

Nice present. :grin: One of my cousins is due to have her first child around her birthday. And this too wasn't planned. At least that's what she said. [Wink]

So you posted it on a public forum on the internet?!!! [Eek!]

Just kidding. I hope it all goes well for you! Plenty of good thoughts for this wonderful opportunity.

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

Thanks for all the good thoughts and prayers. I heard from the doctor's office today. Instead of going back for another test Thursday, they want me to wait a full 7 days because my levels were so low. I can think of good & bad reasons for this. All I really know is I am going to go crazy until then and over analyze every twinge or ache until then. So I am hoping for the best and preparing myself for the worst. I had a nervous breakdown last time this happened. With a 17 month old running around I don't have itme for that! Oh, JemmyGrove, no not Peanut. That's just the til we know what you are name. My daughter we called Lumpy. If it's a boy he'll be Lee Danger. My husband wants him to be able to say "Danger is my middle name." I know he's going to hate us later. If it's a girl Kara Lee. I am kinda hoping he gets over the Danger thing and thinks of something less out there!

Good idea! [Evil Laugh]

Posted by oolung (Member # 8995) on :

Happy Birthday and fingers crossed!
This child simply MUST be born, if only to get the name! [Smile]

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

Danger is the rational choice! The other option was Lee Adama! Would we look like huge fan boys or what!

I like Lumpy too.

I knew a girl named SugarLump Bailey in Lousiana. I always kind of liked that.

Posted by dawnmaria (Member # 4142) on :

It looks like Lee Danger will not be with us yet. I am trying to tell myself it is for the best, must not have been right time, etc.. but right not I am just hurting and quite frankly pissed. March sucks. I always lose my babies in March. Thank you for the kind thoughts. I wish that was enough to have made this work out.

Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :

I am so sorry.

Posted by The Rabbit (Member # 671) on :

dawnmaria, I'm so sorry.

Posted by imogen (Member # 5485) on :

I'm sorry. [Frown]
