This announcement comes a lot sooner than I had planned. We originally requested privacy from those we told. For personal reasons, we wanted to keep the news under wraps until we were ready to share it. However, one of our family members went against our wishes and the news was shared much earlier than we were prepared for. So, to regain some of my power, I'm officially announcing that Baby G is on the way!
I am currently a little over 5 months pregnant. I am considered “Advanced Maternal Age” aka “AMA” Because of this, there are more tests, higher risks to be mindful of, and greater concerns throughout the pregnancy. I did experience some issues in the first 6-8 weeks that raised some flags. There was even an instance when we thought I was having a miscarriage. An ordeal, that we calmly got through thanks to our faith. However, since then everything else has been going relatively well. The genetic testing, expanded panel, and gender confirmation at 11 weeks showed that the baby was healthy and doing great. We had an anatomy scan and a few more tests done recently. So, we are praying for good results on those. If you pray, please keep us in your prayers as we undergo those. If you don’t pray, just keep us in your thoughts. So far, everything else has been good.
Going forward, I will post a bit more about my pregnancy. Though I’m not sure about the frequency. I did “dust off” an old blog of mine to document more personal thoughts and issues I was experiencing. I don’t think I will make that one public though. I’ve also recorded these “one-take” vlogs, but I’m hesitant to upload them. I’ll keep you updated if I do though. All that said, this will be the only place I publicly speak about our pregnancy. But, rest assured, this will not become a pregnancy blog. My regular boring stuff will continue. Until the next one…❤
