Hello friends -

well, it's about 6 weeks until my nuptials are coming to pass. I'm feeling very accomplished where the wedding details are concerned. where I'm feeling less confident and secure is with the fact that future-hubby and I found out about 3 weeks ago that we're pregnant. now, when I was just dealing with the idea of being a married ( Read more... )

Oh, this is amazing, wonderful news!! Congrats -- what an adventure you are about to begin. I had my daughter (who is three) at 32. My other sisters had their kids in their twenties and I got a lot of "tsking" about having waited too long, and how tired I would be (compared to how much energy they had to keep up with their munchkins ( ... )

Definitely trying not to get too far ahead of myself. As you can tell, I've never been a big believer in life plans - I always hated that question "where do you see yourself in 10 years?" because I could never, ever project my life that far out. So, here we find ourselves - having been given a rare miraculous opportunity. Thanks for the support and hugs!

Congratz hon!
I'm sure you'll be a great mom! *hugs*

Thanks for the vote of confidence! It definitely helps.

Congrats! HOMG. That is wonderful news. You'll be a great mother. And if you're not? Don't panic. There are always correctional officers like me around to sort them out when they get to their teens. It's what we're paid for.

Heeeee!

*megasmish* Yays for you. The older you are, the more wisdom you'll have to impart. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

That is good to know that when Junior decides to run amok in the world, there are people like yourself who will use your justice arsenal to set them back on the right path.

Yes, I just hope I get the chance to impart the wisdom before I forget it! Thank you for the smishes!

I've gotta say a resounding "No, 38 is not too old to start the motherhood journey!" because I'm 39 and am actively trying myself. We lost a pregnancy in December but are trying our darndest to get another chance at it. I'm very hopeful that the huge reduction in my stress levels post-wedding will help.

So: No, you're not too old, and yes, you are going to be a great mother!

Glad things are coming together nicely for the wedding. The last six weeks flew by for me, so hang on tight in case our lives continue to parallel each other :-)

Wishing you all the best for everything!

OMG - thank you so much for the vote of confidence! I will keep my fingers crossed that post-wedding stress will greatly enhance fertility for you - until then enjoy practicing. And, don't get me wrong, it's still very early for me to even be mentioning the little one - we have yet to go for the big nuchal test that determines if it's even forming correctly in there, we'll see...

And HOW DID THINGS GO FOR YOU? Last I saw, you were waiting to be picked up for your wedding. So, tell me everything! Did great-aunt Betty hit on young Dave? did the officiant run late? did the chicken dance go on and on and on?

And HOW DID THINGS GO FOR YOU?

Just posted the basics, plus quite a few pictures. It all went spectacularly well! No great-aunts hitting on guests, but we did have one guest take over the band once, and then try for a second run on it. We managed to divert him, though he sulked a bit. Nice guy, and his version of "Something" was decent (after several false starts--he wanted to sing "Helter Skelter") but as Marc pointed out, it wasn't karaoke night.

And, most importantly, there was no chicken dance!

Hope things continue to go well with you. Hopefully we'll be swapping pregnancy stories soon, as well as wedding stories!
