The BIG announcement

We tried for nearly 5 years. In that time I was (mis)diagnosed with PCOS, properly diagnosed with tumors on my left ovary, had the tumors and ovary and tube removed, had 6 endometrial polyps removed, and gained 20lbs from Clomid and hCG injections.

BUT I'm happily 4w3d pregnant.

I'm so excited and terrified and apprehensive and joyful at the same time.

I feel like I've told you many people the good news (close family and friends), but I also feel that feeling that way is silly. All life should be celebrated. Am I wrong to feel this way?

I lost my first baby at 22 weeks (after we finally told everyone at 16 weeks) I then struggled with infertility and had several procedures and laparoscopic surgery to fix a uterine problem. All of our family and friends knew of our struggle and were praying for a healthy baby. When I got pregnant we told all family and close friends at 4w4d and I wouldn't have changed a thing. I am now 10 weeks and have loved their support, prayers, excitement, and encouragement! It has definitely helped me to stay positive and enjoy this pregnancy!!
