Today the real nausea has set in. Before now, it's just been lurking in the background threatening to surface any day now. I'm hoping I can manage it better than I did with my last pregnancy as DS really needs me to be active with him.

I called the doctor today and HcG is at 1390. That's perfect. I have already put on 5 lbs. Nothing like being stuck in the house in the middle of winter to pack on the pounds! Oh well, lots more where they came from.

Today the doctor's office called and they forgot to do a blood test, so I'm back. Found out my HcG was 690 on Tuesday.

Had my pregnancy confirmed at the doctor's office. My first prenatal visit will be February 11. 

46 and pregnant

Today I took my first home pregnancy test. Although I thought I was pregnant, I did not expect the test to show positive since it's 6 days before my expected period, but my dh was going out of town for business and I thought I'd give it a try. Wow, the result was fast. I peed on the stick first thing in the morning. My husband is happy but as shocked as I am that we got pregnant so quickly. 

We have a ds, 21 months old and felt if he were to be a brother, we'd better do it sooner than later. I just quit breast feeding last month and did not expect to get pregnant so quickly-especially because of the statistics for someone my age to get pregnant. I'd only just started my periods again when ds was 16 months old.
