51 and, gasp, pregnant!

I’m 51, recently engaged, and have found myself pregnant. Well, I just had four joke pregnancy tests say so, I’ll be calling my doctor on Monday for a blood test, because I can’t comprehend this. The bigger shock? My partner had a vasectomy years ago, and I’ve not been with anyone else. I know there’s rare cases where after a number of years a vasectomy can correct or heal itself, but the likelihood of that PLUS my conceiving at 51? Seems implausible. I mean, I know that for as long as I’m still menstruating there’s a small possibility, but add in the vasectomy? I mean, what the heck are the odds?!?! My eldest will be 30 this year!! Color me stunned, to be sure! Scared, too. And what if it’s a false positive, and turns out to be cancer or something? So many thoughts. And yet, also surprisingly, quite a bit of excitement underneath it all.

Anyhow, I had to share, and am not willing to publicly announce it in my world yet, I’m likely only about five weeks in, but well, thanks for listening, whoever is out there :)
