I was 33, 35 and 37 when I had our three, and I know I'm not the only "older" mom around... it's so common, it seems ridiculous to me that OBGYN offices still label the files of 35-and-older pregnant women with "AMA" stickers ("advanced maternal age".) All my pregnancies went well and the kids are healthy and full of energy!
Before I got pregnant with #3 I was a bit scared of the thought of having three; more scared about being mistaken for the kids' grandmother; most scared about the changes we'd have to make (trading the Honda Civic for a minivan, for one.) But my biggest reason for going for it was, will I regret having a third child? Or will I regret not having one?
I am happy to report that having three has not wreaked nearly as much havoc on our household as people warned me it would. Our baby is 15 months old now and such a happy little guy; he's the first grandson and a real blessing. I am so happy he's here!
