| Our simple pregnancy announcement I placed on my Social Media Sites |
Yes, now you know, what's been taking up a lot of my time and energy, and the 'excuse' for my 'ho-humm' & fewer posts- a new life growing inside me!!!

We could't be happier my friends, after my
heart-breaking miscarriage two years ago, we didn't want to get any ones hopes up, including our own even if we found out as early as 7 weeks!
We called ourselves
'cautiously optimistic'.
Aside from our own devastation, close family and friends were also heart-broken, so this time we decided to wait before we were positively sure everything would be ok.
And by now it seems to be so!!! Hoooray!!!!!
I'm 16 weeks going!
I have so many thoughts going thru my mind right now, after all, I am under the
AMA category (Advanced Maternal Age - uggghhh), riskier for sure for both me and the baby.
We did not plan on this too, after Aidan was born, it took us 7 years to conceive again and now, this one makes a 9 year gap from my youngest.
My husband and kids are super excited, perhaps even more than me, we were all bursting inside on when to tell our friends and family especially my older son, but we patiently waited until today!

We still need your prayers though, it's still a long ways off until my due date and I truly am hopeful, excited, happy, a bit scared and of course, praying that baby will be alright.
So bear with me if I post occasionally on 'baby stuff' on my blog, after all this blog is called
"Life & home at 2102", and this new baby will definitely be a HUGE PART OF THAT LIFE!!!!
Have a Great Weekend Everyone!!!!
VEL
