To be bricking it. Unexpected 'little surprise'.

So I'm 45. DS 9, DD 6. DH and I found out on Christmas Day that I am pregnant, due late June. I am totally crapping myself now, DH is like a dog with two tails and I will admit that I am excited but after 2 years of trying for DC 3 we kind of gave up 3 years ago and accepted it wouldn't happen and now I am quite shocked. I am really happy, I think. I guess I'm just worred about how this will affect all of us really. So there you go.

Many congratulations.
I'm actually a tad envious Smile. My youngest is just slightly older than yours and I am older than you but i think i'd quite like a surprise. Envy

"DH is strutting about saying cringeworthy things like 'ha, there's life in the old boy yet'."

Congratulations! What a lovely surprise present!

It must be scary, but very very lovely scary. We struggled to get two and at 52 my only regret in life is not having the courage to go for a third.

CONGRATULATIONS. Xxxxxxxxx

You were all so absolutely lovely when I posted this thread I felt I wanted to come back and let you know. I lost my 'little surprise' last Monday. We are totally devastated and heartbroken. Sadly, this little one just wasn't to be. I don't know what else to say.
