Gingerbear is up the Duff

No name-changing or guessing games for me. I am shouting it from the rooftops because we are so pleased.
It has taken almost 2 years, lots of tests and 5 cycles of clomid to get there.
When I told DH he said 'thank God!' I think we were both getting to the stage of coming to terms with a one child family.

And for older women trying to get pregnant, take heart, I am 43.

thank you all for your best wishes. DD is a Gemini too. How do Gemini siblings get along I wonder?

I prefer up the duff to any other beanie related twaddle (Apologies to beanie lovers)

May 23 is my DD's birthday. I conceived her on September 20 and she was 3 weeks early. Gemini's are the BEST. (I was born May 30)

Ah, that's fine. I got dreadfully drunk the weekend before I found out I was pregnant with DD. Was a bg school reunion and a big night out! She's fine

Spidermama · 19/09/2006 20:54

By my reckoning I was already PG when we went to the spa, and the following week I was on the lash. C'est la vie.

So DD and baby 2's birthdays will be quite close then.

SenoraPostrophe · 19/09/2006 20:52

great news - congratulations!

hulababy · 19/09/2006 20:51

Your text this morning really brightened by day GB. So pleased for you, DH and DD. Bet DD will be so excited!!!

Congratulations and well done

So when is baby number 2 due?

BTW, you best get looking at those pregnancy massages for the Spa now; no more saunas for a while I don't know - some people will go to such lengths to avoid the plunge pool
