I must confess.....I have been eavesdropping on this website since week 13, but finally at week 24 I decided to join in on the fun. I feel like I know you all so well and have thorougly enjoyed reading all of your comments. It's been so comforting knowing that we experience a lot of the same issues and emotions of pregnancy.

So since I know so much about you... here's a little about myself. My name is Julie and I am 34 years old. My husband and I have a 13 year old daughter together. We were young when we had her, but we've managed to stay together- even though it hasn't always been easy!

This pregnancy was a total surprise! I had a very tough pregnancy and delivery the first time around (gestational diabetes and toxemia). I really wasn't sure that I could go through it again. And then the years just started passing by, and we became content with having just one child.

I have pretty much been a stay-at-home Mom, but finally decided to go back to work in August of last year. Coincidentally, I started working at a Pregnancy Center as an office administrator. And walah......I got pregnant a month later. Go figure!

So here I am again, 13 years later... a little older and I hope a little wiser...expecting our second child.....

Our baby girl.....Finley Noelle!
