Good things
Sometimes I feel like I am so blessed and I am hesitant to share it because I see so many people struggling. So, what happens is I keep quiet and now probably people think I have vanished. I belong to another board where September due dates post and there were three women who posted negative results from their nuchal scans just as I was about to get mine. I am probably the oldest out of the group unless they are my age and are on their third kid so I was super scared. But after the doctor called yesterday to tell me that my odds of having a chromosone challenged baby are so low that he has me in the catagory of a 20 year old! That's a 17 year bonus there! I am so happy but I haven't posted it there or anywhere until now because it feels weird to say that my numbers were 1 in 1000 when some of the other ladies were in the 1 in 71 numbers. I post it here because very few people read my journal anymore and I do want to share it. I think it gives hope! Especially for those who may be getting ready to test.I have seen quite a few BFPs and am so excited for you! Those who haven't gotten it yet, you have to see the pattern! It is coming!

I am really happy for you. My husband and I discuss all the time how awkward it can get if someone you knows has struggled with IF and then they get pregnant (and you don\'t). I always say that I will be extremely happy for them b/c I know how hard they have worked to get where they are--so I wouldn\'t be hesitant in sharing--God has given you this blessing and there is absolutely nothing wrong with being excited! Best wishes and good luck with everything!
Congrats! That is wonderful news. You should be happy. Being newly preggers myself, I can understand how you feel. It is a hard line to balance. Enjoy your healthy baby news! It has been long awaited!
I am soooo happy for you , how many weeks are you now?
Don\'t ever hesitate to share! I\'m very happy that you have the great new to share! It\'s a hard thing to make all these new friends and then try and feel so happy amongst all the other saddness; NEVER forget that your entitled ALL the happiness life has to offer you sweetie! We may not get the happiness that we strive for (babies), but each of us will only be as happy as we try to be, with what we have. It\'s the whole additude of life! I want a baby after 11 yrs of trying, but I\'m happy my hubby isn\'t missing, at war, and healthy. I\'m happy that my family is near by. Never feel guilty sweetie!
Yay! That is wonderful news! I am so happy for you.
Looks like more people read your journal then you think! :-) I am so happy that your test went well and the results were great! I understand what you mean though. You kind of feel like you are slapping someone else in the face. But, you are not. You deserve happiness and a healthy baby just as much as everyone else. Why it happens for some and not for others, I have no idea. But don\'t feel afraid to share your good news. It actually gives others hope. I am sure you can word it so that it is not insensitive to others.
Congrats again!!
