Geriatric pregnancy

Well, July has been a very busy month! Adjusting to life in Houston, trying to find work and..........did I mention that I'm pregnant?!   I had been feeling very sick, and Eric suggested that I take a pregnancy test to rule out the possibility.  We were ecstatic to learn that we have a little one on the way!

As many of you know, I am 37 years old, which is considered "geriatric" in the baby-making world.  As this pregnancy progresses, I hope to encourage other "older moms" that a healthy pregnancy is possible, even in the mid to late 30s.  Believe that you can have a healthy pregnancy, trust that God has a purpose for this little life and find a positive doctor who encourages healthy habits.
