WTH?????
Ok...well 36 isn't exactly geriatric. But seeing that second pink line on the pregnancy test - the first thought that popped in my mind is NO! I am too old! This can't be, my uterus has cobwebs, it doesn't work like that anymore.
Dramatics subside, my head wraps around the idea of "baby"...I'm going to be fine. The reality sets in - I am not going to need a walker in the next 9 months or at this baby's high school graduation.
A few days pass, I start to feel much better about the situation and really start to embrace it....until I get a special gift in the mail from my insurance company. A book! How cool is that....open it up and the title reads "Pregnancy over 35 - Being a Mother of Advanced Maternal Age"...really??? Did they just confirm my oldness and give me a label - an AMA mom? I'll show them and anyone else who thinks I am an AMA Mom...Only I can think I am too old to have another baby!
In all seriousness, I was shocked, initially felt a little old to play this game again - but do feel very lucky to have another baby and my excitement grows with each passing day!
