of the PREGNANCY closet and announce that I am 9 weeks, 2 days pregnant with baby #5! This was a BIG surprise. It took me about a month to be able to deal with the reality of it... I'm mean, I'll be almost 43 years old, with a 22 year old, a 17 year old, a 12 year old, and an 8 year old when this little one comes along... and my DH will be 47!
Anyway, I saw the OB this past Thursday and she did an ultrasound. Everything looks good so far, baby's little heart was beating like crazy (over 170 bpm) and I could see it's little limbs wiggling around. She said the chance of miscarriage is less than 5% now, so I feel safe letting my secret out. Whew, it sure has been hard keeping it in!
