This was a very special day for me. Yes, I know I just had a special day last month when we closed on our house, but this is even more special-er than that! Today I was invited to go to my daughter, Emily’s, OB appointment with her. Today was the day that she got to see, via ultrasound, that there is indeed a little Fab-grandchild a baking away! While this will be grandchild number six, I have never been in the right place at the right time to get to be there when the ultrasound was done. We both cried. Yeah, we are silly like that.
She was a very good sport and allowed me to take pictures of her in the exam room. Can you tell how happy she is?
The doctor was a very nice and pleasant guy. He answered all of Emily’s questions to her satisfaction. He explained to her that whenever someone over 35 years old is pregnant, they call her an “elderly mother”. We got a huge laugh out of that, because if SHE is elderly, what does that make ME??? OH, and baby is due August 26th.
So excited! I am so glad you were able to be here for the ultrasound. 🙂
How wonderful. Congratulations to both of you.
I was 35 for my last pregnancy, they kept calling me advanced maternal age. I wanted to hit them every time they said that. But it sounds so much better than elderly mother.
YAY, congratulations to all the FAB-ulous people & Fabgrandchild #6 🙂
I think the actual term was elderly pregnancy. But still, weird. I think I’ll take advanced maternal age.
How exciting for you both! Good luck with the pregnancy and we’ll all be waitng for the big day!

Congratulations!
Congrats!! Ultrasounds are so fun!! Good luck and praying for a healthy happy pregnancy!
SO very happy for Emily! Congrats to both of you – Exciting times 🙂
Congrats!
Congrats all around! Exciting times ahead.
I come from a “split” family : 2 of us were 12 and 8 when our sister was born (and then another one)…my mom was over 40 and I can remember her complaining that her OB (actually it was just a family doctor back then of course) called her elderly. Of course , at 12, I thought, well yeah that’s true! I’ve thought many times over the years that I wish I’d apologized ;>)… and it’s only in the medical terminology that elderly could be used (for either of you!)
Congratulations!
