Here we go.....

I'm not quite sure about being a blogger. I don't normally like to share really personal things about myself with others, but I've discovered that I need an outlet and I'm hoping that this will be it. I'm guess the anonymity will help me be more open and honest than I normally would be.

My husband and I decided after a few years of marriage that we were ready to start a family and have a baby. We got pregnant super-fast even though I'm over the taboo age of 35 and were so excited and niave. There was no question in our mind that the pregnancy would go smoothly and the baby would be born without any complications. That our family would be perfect. To put it mildly, we were wrong. Our baby girl didn't survive and we are now attempting to move on.

Now, we are pregnant with baby #2 and we have such a different outlook. Rather than announce to the world immediately that we are pregnant, we are waiting. Definitely waiting until after the first trimester and may be waiting even longer than that.

Currently, I am about 9 1/2 weeks pregnant. I say about because the ultrasound measured the baby at 9 days younger than what my calculations were. Honestly, I think that it's somewhere between the two dates. I guess only time will tell.

So, here we go....the journey of a lifetime......
