We're having a baby! I have been wanting to say that for ages, and now I'm almost afraid to say it. But I am sooooooo excited about it, though still struggling to believe it's for real at times. I am a bit of a late bloomer, what the doctor's like to call "Advanced Maternal Age". I'll be 40 in a couple weeks. 40! And yes, this is my first. I have two adult stepdaughters who are fabulous. But I am so thrilled to be growing a baby from scratch. It took us two rounds of IVF and a lot of emotional ups and downs to get to this point. I am 14 weeks 1 day today, due July 31. We did a CVS to check for chromosomal abnormalities, which we passed; a HUGE relief! One of the side benefits is that we got to learn early on (like at 12 weeks) the sex of the baby. And....it's a boy! I'm having a baby boy! Woohooo! Perfect. The whole thing still seems like such a huge miracle to me. A big ol' scientific miracle of course. But magical and amazing nonetheless.
So of course I've been working on baby knits, mostly tiny socks Also some gifts for a couple friends who are soon having, or recently had babies, also boys. I love love love the baby knits. Fast, easy, and way cuter than grownup stuff. If anyone has good baby boy knit ideas, send them along because I'm looking for suggestions. I'd like to start on some baby sweaters very soon.
That's my news. No pics today. Have an amazing weekend!

WOW! Congratulations! I don't even know what else to type - that's so awesome!
Congratulations on your wonderful news. As for baby knits, I love the Debbie Bliss Baby Cashmerino books and the Sublime books have some nice patterns for littlies too.
That is SO AWESOME!!! Congratulations, and I wish you all the best in your pregnancy. I worked in for an OBGYN who was one of my closest friends, and she went through IVF, and I saw the emo roller coaster that put her on, so I have sympathy for that bit of it for you. I'm glad your CVS testing went well :)
Woohoo Cecilia! I'm am truly happy for you! That is really big news. Congratulations!
