I wasn’t sure where to post this exciting news. My first thought was to post to We Pray to the Lord because I do so want your prayers for my baby and as I go through many (happy) adjustments. (I've been pretty sick and I found out today that my progesterone is low.)

I could have posted in the adoption forum (Not of my Flesh but of My Heart) since it has been 14 years (without even a miscarriage) and six adoptions since I’ve last carried a baby.

I could have even posted in the St. Anne’s Tea Room!
Isn’t a happy surprise when a woman in her forties experiences a pregnancy?

But, I finally choose here at Hidden Treasure because my doctor estimates my due date to be January 21st the Feast of Our Lady of Altagracia, patroness of Hidden Treasure.

Do you think this is just a coincidence that my 14 years of infertility was broken during the month of May? During the month we renewed/made our consecrations to Mary? And with a due date of Our Lady of Altagracia?

I think I owe you all a big, big hug.

Thanks Amy, Mary, Sarah, Donna Marie, Dawn, Molly, Rebecca, Jackie, Marybeth, Carole and Maryan!

I've wanted to tell you all for a long time and I've been going back and forth whether or not to tell. Every time I speak to my doctor he rattles me. So, I think I need prayers to keep my peace.

Well, it's off to sleep. I can't seem to stay awake.

Congratulations! I understand the over 40 and surprised to be pregnant. And how the doctor can "rattle" you. May God's continued blessings be yours.

Well, you've already received my congrats but I have to chime in here too. I literally cannot wipe the smile off my face. WHAT AN INCREDIBLE MIRACLE!! Praise God!

When I told my mom, she got goosebumps & she doesn't even know you !

Ave Maria!
