I'm keeping the title

even though I'm not pregnant anymore. I did get disturbing news from 6 week postpartum visit. I'm positive for HPV and they found abnormal cells on the cervix. I go in again on June 4 for a consult and a coloscopy. I'm hoping everything will be okay....

Hi Isabelle,

I tried to post the following on your blog, but am having computer issues. Would you be so kind to do it for me.

Many thanks, and may God Bless.

Hi Isabelle,
Jan gave me your link. I just turned 46 when I found out I was pregnant. We have been thinking of giving our 23 month old a sibling for a few months now. At my DS last check up, I asked the doctor about getting pregnant. She said I;d better get to it if it was going to happen and advised I should stop BF. I got pregnant as soon as I could over the Christmas/New Year holidays. I found out a whole week before AF was due that I was pregnant.
I wish you all the best with your upcoming labour and delivery and thank you for sharing your story here.
newone, I pray you get pregnant soon and your daughter will be a big sister soon. My story is here http://46andpregnant-kim.blogspot.com/

Kim that's great. Fabulous you could get pregnant within 2 years. As for me, I'm grateful my son is 5 b/c he is a super big brother and surprisingly useful for which we are grateful when we can't open the darn door ourselves...(carseat, groceries, sling and the diaper bag etc...)

I just read all your entries and it took me back. We decided against CVS and Amnio and all that stuff and I wonder whether incidence of girls is higher w/riper moms. September 26 -- you get to be pregnant in the summer which I found a GREAT time to be pregnant because you can be outside and running around. The best part is not having to wear socks in the 9th month. Putting on socks was the most timeconsuming thing I did in 3rd Tri.

between the edges


V. is 5 weeks old which officially means I have not slept more than 6 hours for 5 weeks (the last week of pregnancy, I know I slept two nites past six hours). So I'm mostly dazed and dropping things (not her, her I clutch) and concentrating when I drive and really making the most of my daily cup of coffee. And remembering the things I loved to eat during my last 2 months of pregnancy, none of which exert a pull anymore.

I loved:
Starbucks mints
fresh fallen snow
Finnish crisp bread
Prosciutto
sharp cheddar
sausage
potato chips

Now it's all chocolate icecream...
