congratulations wahrania!!!!

Thanks Bridget, my 41st birthday is February 5th. I am OLD OLD OLD OLD. I am just surprised eggs are still being released from the graveyard I call my torso LOL...

Congrats!! And you are NOT old. 40's are the new 30's you know! Many woman are having babys in their 40's and its normal. So many women are career oriented now that they start later and later so the babys are coming when they are in their 40's too. My mom was 42 when she had her last child...this was after her 1st child had already had her own baby. So congrats to you! I think its a shock, but a blessing to start this family with your new husband!

Well. I am not going to apply for any kind of pregnancy medicaid until I get his package through NVC. I do not want to risk losing my affadavit of support package so I will go to the health department and get the test and then start on prenatals.

I know that I have a really high chance of miscarriage ( 50 percent after the age of 40) so I am trying to just take it easy and not get too excited about being pregnant because we could lose the baby. I always try to kind of keep the pregnancy stuff on the down low until I get about 12 weeks so I get past that critical 3 months. I am just going to go about my life and take care of my little family and wait for Mohamed's package to hit the embassy. I will go ahead to the health department tomorow at least and at least get some care there like the first visit and the official test and some vitamins at least. I can deal with pregnancy medicaid later in the pregnancy as I get more pregnant so I do not mess up his eligibility to get here ( I AM THE SPONSOR SO I KNOW YOU GUYS CAN DIG) I am scared as hell of messing that up so late in this. ANYWAY.... I am at NVC right now and they have processed the 70 dollar fee bill and the 380 one they sent me December 17th went UP ON JANUARY 1st and even though we sent it to them, they are returning it saying we owe 20 dollars more. Well nothing like a pregnancy to put all my weird feelings to rest.

PLEASE OH PLEASE NVC let my husband get through NVC quickly. Well anyway, tomorrow at least I will have my pregnancy test paper and my health department visit. I HAVE TO CONCENTRATE ON WORK THOUGH and not think too much about all of this, thats for sure

Love you guys

As long as you are happy and your husband is happy, that's all that counts. However, I know how stressful it is to become pregnant at an inopportune time.

Like you, I am 42 and I did not think I could become pregnant easily. Boy was I wrong!

Well well well.... I had an asthma attack this morning and went to go pick up some asthma medication at the CVS and while I was waiting, picked up an 8 dollar pregnancy test in the isle. I was not thinking I was pregnant because I took one about 5 days after I came home and another a week after I came home ( like one of those 2 test kits) and both were negative. But as of today I still did not have my "friend" so I went in the bathroom at CVS, very unglamorous I know and took the test.

Well ladies, I AM PREGNANT. 2 blue lines. One I130 in NVC, no health insurance to speak of ( I am an independent contractor) and um, an appointment at the health department tomorrow, and a nasty case of asthma and bronchitis that I am afraid to treat because I am very very very early in the pregnancy. ( I probably got pregnant between December 24th and December 27th. I am in a state of major shock and I just did not think that at my age (40) I could get pregnant that easy. My husband and I did not use any protection but we also did not think that I would get pregnant during this 2 week period because in my mind I am really old and its harder for "older women" to ovulate and get pregnant. He is younger than me and maybe his stuff swims a little faster.

Anyway, I am kind of in shock right now and I know the way that I wrote this post looks really weird. I know my mom will kill herself if she finds out so I am kind of keeping it on the down low for a little because I do not want to freak her out. I have no idea how is family is all taking it. I have only talked to him and 2 aunts. One sounded really happy, the other sounded really shocked ( the one from France that looked at me as a walking passport.. YOU ARENT SUPPOSED TO BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED with you greencard and ticket out of NORTH AFRICA. The other aunt sounded genuinely happy ( she likes me). So please allow me to vent and talk to you guys cause I sure as hell have no one ELSE to talk to you except you guys cause I am not exactly sure how everyone will react since I just found out today. I think he is in a state of shock. I am in a state of shock. He is telling people in his family that I am pregnant which I think is "kind " of a good sign. It was not the hallmark moment I wanted. But I have had worse days in my life. This was just a weird one

congrats! I just had my second at 35 so what is another 5 years? my mom had me when she was 38 but that was back in the day so that equates to what, 50 now? lol.... i know lots of women in their early 40s who have had babies. 40 is the new 30!

Dear Bridget. I was pregnant, but not anymore.

While in Iran I became pregnant (after being together for two months). But miscarried on the plane leaving Iran. It was sad. But then it was also not a good time either and I had to realize that the timing was terrible.

When people find out I am married to an Iranian, some of them chirp, "Not without my daughter" referring to the movie. Implying my husband would keep me prisoner in Iran if we had children. Makes me really angry! My husband knew I was pregnant and never held me prisoner.
