And i'm soooooooo tired.
From promoting ourselves for a year
From being scammed over and over *yeah 3 times
From giving back a baby after having him for a week
From waiting and trying not to feel like I was waiting
Dealing with so many personalities an keeping them interested and believing in us.
From long trips to meet PBM's in some pretty crazy places
From keeping DH on board after so much icky stuff
Please someone tell me our son will make us forget and we will get all of our umph back!!!!! Wahhhhh I want it back!!!!!

You will do GREAT!
Will you get your umph back? ahhh... in spurts. I am 35 and I miss my umph often throughout the day... haha.
But yes, it is totally worth it. You will love every minute of it. Your son will help keep you young!

Gwenn,
You don't even know! I can't explain or express enough how all that will fade when that bundle of joy hits your arms. Your heart will melt and nothing will matter. You might even laugh about some of things that happen. Stay strong.

At FIFTY and receiving our baby after having to wait for another one for two years....let me tell ya! You'll DO FINE!!!!!!!
This baby will be the bright light you'll smile at late into the night. This baby will make you realize that God has a plan for ALL of you---a good plan, and His purpose will work through you all!
This baby......will make those sad days seem 'less so'....and you'll rejoice in the days to come!
Congratulations!
Sincerely,
Linny

You will get over the umph!!! Especially when you hold that little boy in your arms. Sure there will be days you lay in bed...do I have to get up and then you remember your little baby. That will energize you immediately. Keep us posted how things go for you and the little guy.

OK, I'm not going to say you won't be exhausted after baby comes home, because you will be. However, I will say it is a totally different kind of exhaustion! It's one you won't mind as much. ;)
I can remember with my first son sitting and rocking him in the middle of the night, or walking him when he was collicky and seriously, as exhausted as I was, I loved it, too.
The key, especially with your first child, is to sleep when they sleep and don't feel guilty about house work not always getting done.
Your wait and troubles WILL BE WORTH IT! :)

I'm turning 44 in a few weeks, and I do get those tired moments... but the joy of my girls keeps me going. When they were born and in our arms, I swear my adrenaline (sorry about the spelling) was running high it was amazing what I could do. I was 41 at the time, and was managing newborn twins, work, etc.... There are days right now I wish I could get that back!!!!
The losses you have do bring you down, but the joy when it works is amazing!!!!

Ladies, just to remind you. I parented the first time at the age of 23 and the last time (still going, obviously, just when baby came) at 54. And YES, I'm tired. But, honestly, I was MORE TIRED and MORE UNSURE OF MYSELF at 23 than I am now. At this age, kids keep us going, give us something to look forward to and bless us every single day. STORMSTER . . . Honey, you will do beautifully!!! You go, girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
