Well...you've probably already guessed by where this is in the forum. lol

The exicting news around here these days is that I'm pregnant.

I actually had a doctor's appt a few weeks back or so to confirm things.

This Thursday I go in for an ultrasound. It will be too soon to tell the gender, but the big question right now is whether it is one or two.

lol
Since I have twins already, my odds are up to have them again. But...the odds are still bigger for ONE baby.
They will also decide then if the due date stays the same. They have me down right now for Aug 16. When I plugged in information on a website, it told me Aug 8. I'm hoping all of that matters in the end. With Ethan and Hunter, they decided it was time to show up at 30 weeks. I'll be praying that this baby (babies???) wants to stay in longer.

I've been feeling tired and not sleeping well after the first 4/5 hours. No real morning sickness...just some "odd" tummy feelings. lol Hard to explain. Like being super hungry and super full at the same time. Uncomfortable but not painful.

I'll take any prayers that you want to offer up for this to be a smooth, uncomplicated pregnancy. My "fears" involve my age. I'm ancient, you know. lol Well, I am 38. And my weight. I'm overweight. But healthy. I just don't need to gain much during the pregnancy. Well, not compared to a slim gal. Actually, I think I've lost a pound or two. Which is just fine at this point.

Okay...I'll stop rambling.
I just wanted to share with you what's up with me these days.

[Bobbi Jo]

[SandiC.]

<----is jumping up and down with excitement for you. I have a 40 yr old friend expecting twins. I'll pray for a 40 week pregnancy with very little weight gain and funny tummy feelings to go away soon. Yippee! more scrapbabies!

[Sarah in VA]

Congratulations, Charlene! What wonderful news and what a blessing this is for you and your family. I will certainly keep you and your pregnancy in my thoughts and prayers.

[Smiles]

What exciting news!
38 is only considered older when you're talking about pregnancy, so don't generalize that to the rest of your life!
May angels of health and strength watch over you during your pregnancy.
take good care!
hugs,

[jeschaff]

Congratulations, Charlene! I'm very happy for you and your family and will be praying for a safe, uncomplicated pregnancy. And remember, the boys are old enough to help out around the house when you're feeling to yucky to, say, scrub toilets

[Cheri T]

Oh, CONGRATULATIONS!!! Yep, I'm shouting it:) That's so exciting Charlene! I'll keep you in my prayers for a healthy pregnancy. I don't think 38 is ancient at all, lol (I'm 36 and just had our 3rd when I was 35, and have an acquaintance who married late and had a healthy pregnancy in her early-mid 40s). But just to give you a boost, by your profile pic I thought you were about 28!
Take care and hope you have more energy again soon; early pregnancy is SO tiring.

Congrats Charlene! What exciting news! I'll be praying for a smooth uncomplicated pregnancy for you!

Congratulations. I won't be having any more grandchildren, but hopefully some more greats before too long.
I hope you have a wonderful pregnancy.

[bjc]

how exciting... i bet your boys will be such good helpers...wishing you an easy and healthy pregnancy and babe(s)

[SilverSwanMama]

Congratulations, Charlene! You and me both! I'm due June 15 with #4! Praying that all goes well and you have a safe and healthy pregnancy and delivery.

Oh, and I know just what you mean about the odd tummy feelings. I'm pretty much past that now, but the way I described it was "on the edge of nausea all the time". Never actually completely nauseous, but any wrong smell might just put me right over the edge!

[LisaL]

OMG!!! You go Momma! Good luck!!! And Congrats!!!!!

[catinkeri]

Rah Rah Char!!! Woohoo!! How thrilling for you!! Can't wait to hear the news of one or two ... or more?!?!? JUST JOKING!!! And as for the 'old age' don't even give it a second thought - I was knocking 40 when I had my youngest, and overweight!! Still overweight, but hey, I love chocolate so I'm not complaining. All four of my pregnancies were classified high risk but I have to say that I enjoyed each and every one of them ... only three went full term though .
So can't wait to hear about your scan and see a LO of the amazing 3D scans they're doing these days!! WOOHOO!!!

Char,
Congratulations!!!! I so know what you mean about due dates. My son (who will be 27 this month) was born at 32 wks.
And my sister's birthday just happens to be on August the 8th, and mine is August 15th, both great dates!

Also, want you to know that my BF Cindy had an uneventful pregnancy at 39. Her DD (who just turned 12) was born born just 3 months before Cindy turned 40.

I'm so excited for you, how very cool! Look forward to following your pregnancy news. You have been making some really awesome layouts lately, and now we have baby layouts to look forward to, yes! Are Ethan and Hunter excited?

[Shelbi]

Congrats!!!
And prayers for a happy healthly pregnancy and baby (or babies)

[April Showers]

Congratulations Charlene!
My sister had her last baby at 42 with no problems at all!
And my great grandmother was a twin and had two sets of twins, one of which was my grandfather.
