LisaKinVA Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 When everything in our lives is completely topsy turvey, yeah, let's throw a pregnancy into the mix (cry) Are we staying in VA? Are we moving to Italy? Should we buy the land? Should we walk away and forget about it? And that's just the tip of the turmoil in our lives. My parents will be thrilled. My husband's parents will be floored. I'm sitting in stunned silence. I'll be 40 for this one. My oldest will be 9.5. I'd ask why... but my husband and I were just talking about (like last night), that there is only so much we can control with this issue -- and that if God wanted us to have another baby, He'd make sure we did. <laugh> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kanga Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Congratulations! I found out one week before my 40th Bday that I was pregnant with Rew. I alternated between laughing and crying for about a week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aubrey Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Oh, congratulations!! That's *so* where we are. We'd always wanted at least 4 dc, but after #2, we spent a yr trying w/out any luck. We were told that we might not be able to have any more. We finally got pg w/ #3 & figured our lives were enough in order that we'd start trying for #4 right away--as in, when #3 was 9-12mos old. But then dh started seminary, quit his job, & everything was up in the air. #3 turned 3MONTHS old & I was pg, w/out trying. And we're supposed to *at least* have trouble getting pg! LOL So here we are w/ no ins, no job, one car that is stuffed to the brim w/ 3 dc, & dh is in his 1st semester of seminary. And I'm pg! But God has provided. We've been given $. We've gotten a letter saying we were owed more $ on the house we just sold. We've been given a car. And ultimately? We'll have the 4 dc we always wanted w/out the angst of having to decide whether or not to plan this one when we couldn't have seen a way to afford it. I'm trepidatiously thrilled. Does that even make sense? Congratulations, & may this child *always* be seen for the blessing & wonderful surprise that he/she is!! :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dayle in Guatemala Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Congratulations on the baby!!!!!!! Babies are always a blessing--even if they don't exactly come when we expect them. Everything else will fall together, and will work out. It usually does! Blessings!:001_smile: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andie Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Wow! Congratulations. I didn't laugh or cry with the last one. It was sort of a stunned silence, followed by a lot of incoherant muttering, then crying, then laughing. I'm fine now. ;) It'll work out! Enjoy!

LisaKinVA Posted May 15, 2008 Author Share Posted May 15, 2008 I'm actually fine... just stunned. We already have names for girl/boy (Abigail Sophia Joy or Benjamin David). Made my appointment with the midwife... DH & I have laughed over it (I texted him). Not telling anyone else -- but went and started downing the vitamins.

Kathleen in VA Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I was 40 for my last baby. She is the one who is going to take care of me in my old age :). She is the most organized person I have ever met. She just turned 9 and has already become my social secretary, my grocery list reminder, my birthday/other events reminder and every time we drive by the gas station she asks if we should stop and fill up!! I've never met anyone quite like her but I sure appreciate all she does for me. God knows what's best. Just embrace the moment with joy:).

Sandra314 Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 I had found out I was pregnant with Matthew a week before my 40th birthday. I wound up spending 8 days in the hospital due to my diabetes. I spent my 40th birthday about three weeks pregnant sitting in my hospital bed. I'm sure that things will work out. God is there during our storms... He has carried me though mine and I am sure He'll carry you through yours... :grouphug: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brindee Posted May 15, 2008 Share Posted May 15, 2008 Congratulations! My youngest was a very special surprise! We hadn't planned it, but she has been such a JOY in our lives! Her middle name is Joy, which fits her so well! Her oldest brother's name is Benjamin, so I think you've chosen GREAT names! :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
