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.

Hub, I just sprayed my tea over the keyboard at your 'soldier' comment - will have to pass that one on to DH.
Katierocket and Marrrtharrmoo, I know all about the feelings of relief at being pregnant. Last time we were just happy, this time we are grateful too.

Trace2, a big hug, thank you.
