[QUOTE="nvts, post: 164936, member: 3814"] Well, you're going to be a pack of new Aunties and Uncles! I saw and heard the heartbeat and he guestimates me at about 6 weeks along. You guys are the ONLY ones to know so don't tell my family or difficult child's. You ALL have to keep something in mind (the OB said to tell you) that since I'm 44, am a type 1 diabetic, have had 3 C-sections and a miscarriage last year, that the possibility of miscarriage is very very high until the 12th week. He wants to see me every 2 weeks until then. We have to monitor the diabetes throughout. With my daughter, I developed pre-eclampsia that no one noticed until things got really messy, so he'll be on the lookout for that too. They didn't notice because they usually check your ankles for water retention, but unfortunately, my ankles don't swell, my upper shins do. I was having a "non-stress" test done, had my left leg crossed over my right and when I moved it, there was a 1 inch "dent" in the shin. A nurse happened to be walking by and almost had a stroke. Needless to say, they delivered early! lol She was in so much fluid that when the doctor came to see me, he said "you did it again, what a beautiful baby" and I said "are we looking at the same baby? Well, maybe she'll have a great personality" (I was pretty wasted from the general they ended up giving me!). He told me I was evil! Anyway, I'm getting used to the idea. God has something planned, and who am I to ask? Any extra prayers, insights, sanity would be greatly appreciated. We're basically going to be starting from scratch (I had all 3 of the others in 3 years, so all that survived was the crib - after #3 we only kept the crib and the high chair). As you know, I believe throwing away the high chair is what made me get pregnant! I think the funniest thus far was the doctor, he smiled, shook his head and said "Beth, how did this happen" and I said "you're asking me? You're the doctor! NOW I'm getting nervous"! This is going to be one loooong, strange trip! Love you guys! Beth [/QUOTE]
