Ladybug WOW ;-)))) fantastic news sweetheart , I'm really happy for you .
Don't stress about what may go wrong , but be excited about everything that will go right .
My mum had a baby at 44 and my sister in law was 45 .
The thing is with consecutive pregnancies you are no more at risk of a miscarriage .
Women are having babies later in life .
How far along are you ?
This is great news
I'm thrilled for you both and wish you all the very best sweetheart :-) xxxx
Hugs

Hi Ladybug. This is wonderful news.xx
Please try not to worry. My grandmother had her first 2 children after 39, miscarried, then had her last baby at 45. Healthy.
Love to you and your little family.

Thanks Bob and Snoozy!
Thanks for the words of encouragement, Snoozy. My grandmother had my mom at 41 or 42. I guess I am just worry because of what happened last time. I also lost a baby at 22 weeks, long time ago, so with the exception of my daughter, I haven't had the best of luck with pregnancies. I am only probably 4 or 5 weeks along so it is very early. Had bloodwork today to check my levels so I am waiting to hear back from the Dr. Will keep you all posted

Oh, Ladybug, that is such happy, wonderful news! I'm so excited for you and your husband!
Try not to worry too much and just enjoy this process!
I'm at 9 months today and feeling good about this. Just frustrated still about my sleep problem. I'm growing and learning about how much better this new sober lifestyle is. Perhaps I've got an extended case of PAWS, who knows, but I will carry on and enjoy being present and more sure of myself!
I asked my sister in England if I could visit later this summer, and she seemed a bit cool about the idea, not very enthusiastic to say the least. She's looking for work and is generally out of sorts. She mentions in her last few emails that she's worried about her drinking and wants "to cut back". She never asks me about my drinking, or not drinking, and I don't raise the issue.
Anyway, a couple of nights ago when I yet again couldn't sleep, I decided to take a risk, challenge myself, so I've booked a one week trip to Madrid in mid May. I was there as a 17 year old for a summer, and I've always wanted to go back, especially as my spanish is better now. And I want to just walk the city, go to the art galleries and museums.
I used airmiles for the flights, so that was a break, and I've rented a teeny studio apartment online. It's all I need!
I'm not going to second guess myself about this plan. It's a habit I want to leave behind. I'm going and I will be fine!

Congrats on 9 months, Leshar! You have come so far and we are so proud of you A week on Madrid sounds wonderful, good for you! I went to Madrid and other parts of Spain for a senior high school trip, but was much too young to appreciate it. All we cared about was drinking age being 18 
I think this will be a great adventure for you!!

Thanks, Dee and Ladybug,
I'm feeling a bit flat tonight. Just tired, I guess. My girlfriend called me but just wanted to bitch about how she felt another friend broke a confidence. She just went round and round and got miffed when I pointed this out to her. I'm tired of tedious one sided friendships.
I'm tired of being alone most of the time and having to make every decision, big and small alone. I really don't think my family and friends know how hard it all is.
Ok, that's all folks.

Wow, so much is happening!
So, I have some news, but saw Ladybugs and wanted to wait.
Leshar, I've been reading a book I found on the Passages rehab facility website;
"Be who you want, have what you want"
It's available on iPad. Funny, one of the exercises is to do something fun and I decided to plan a holiday too!
It's a good read. It's lifted me, and my news is...
I resigned from my job today!

Croissant, thanks!
Tell us more about your work news. Do you have something else lined up? You sound happy in your decision. Didnt appear to be a nurturing environment for you of late.
And tell us about your holiday plans! Yes, I figured I'm not getting younger, and I can't rely on my family, so why not be my own best friend and take myself on a trip!
Go for it! After all you've been through lately, a holiday sounds like just the ticket!
Thank you for the book recommendation, I will check it out!
