My name is Shannon and I will be 32 when the baby is born (October 6th!) and DH will be 38. We currently live in a suburb of Raleigh, NC. We meet in December 2004, and got married in June 2006, and started TTC in January. We had expected it to be at least 6 months to a year before we were able to conceive so having such good luck so early on has made things seem very surreal for us.
Just the past weekend, I officially entered into my 2nd trimester and we hope to find out if the baby is a boy or girl on 5/14!
I have a 15-year old brother and sister (fraternal twins--invitro babies) so I was lucky enough to be able to long ago experience the amazing feeling of watching a child grow and being part of that process. It's hard to believe that they have grown so fast into the adults they are now becoming.
This will be the first grandchild for my mom and step-father and the first grandchild in 16 years for DH's parents.
I plan to be a SAHM for a while. Not sure how long I will be able to be one and what it will be like but I am looking forward to growing as a mom and a person.
I have had Type 1 diabetes for over 20 years, so I fear causing the baby any distress if my health and blood sugars are not where they need to be, so I am working really hard to keep myself healthy now, and hope that being a SAHM will also contribute to this goal.
Looking forward to being on this journey with everyone!
