Guess who's having a baby!

I’m still pinching myself in case I’m dreaming, but I’m already past 12 weeks, and it sure looks like we’re going to be parents in July! I’ve spent the last couple of months in a bit of a daze, having to remind myself that yes, I’m pregnant, and no, it’s not just a weeks-long bad hangover. Everything is on track for a healthy and sticky pregnancy, so I’m finally allowing myself to be excited about it, after holding back and holding my breath for a while. This little critter is strong and healthy and having a dance party in my uterus, based on what we saw on the ultrasound on Friday. It’s got arms! And legs! And it wiggles!

I’m just so delighted. I know this whole pregnancy and parenting experience will be a hell of a roller coaster, but I’m so so grateful to finally have a chance to ride.

We’ve told our families, but we’re probably going to wait until New Years to go public on Facebook and all that. I just wanted to be sure to tell my Dope family “in person.”

Hey congratulations!

Yay! Mazel tov!

And I’m going to think sticky thoughts anyway – you can’t stop me!

That’s wonderful news! Congratulations and sticky vibes!

Congratulations to you both!!!

No guessing, since I did read your post in the anti-rants thread :slight_smile:
STIIIIIIIICKY!

Yay!

Congratulations!

Yeah, I’ve alluded to my news here and there, couldn’t help myself! Big secrets are tough to keep! :smiley:

Thanks for all the stickies, folks. I’ll ask you to retract them when I’m full term so that baby just plops right out, ok? That is how it works, right?

Well, it’s not supposed to plop out until there’s a catcher in place, but yeah, that’s the gist of it.

Congratulations!!! Exciting news!

Great Christmas news! Do you care what gender it is?

Congratulations! If I recall correctly, you were having a lot of trouble with this, so I’m very glad for you and your husband. :slight_smile:

We’ll take either one! Family’s already placing bets… I think “girl” is currently in the lead.

It was definitely a long road. Not as long as some, surely, and I’m fighting a little bit of “survivor’s guilt” because our very first IVF cycle was easier and better than we could possibly have hoped. But yeah, after two and a half years, a loss, and tons of testing and interventions, we’re so happy to finally be here.

Will its Doper Name be RhAmbivalent?

Many congratulations!! :smiley: And a big hello to the little one.

Best wishes to you & our future impending overlord.

Congratulations!!!

Congratulations!

Oh my gosh, I’m so excited for you. I thought I had missed an announcement or something when I saw a couple of your recent posts.

You’re in for such a treat. Kids are great fun.

Congratulations!
