I guess I'm the luckiest woman and just wanted to share.
(I had help with my pregnancy)
I was 45 when my one and only was born. It was such a strange sensation to sit in my chair with her. Two people when there had been just us as one. . . . She's 11 now but I cherish and every moment. They're only this age right now, this second, never to be repeated. I used to tell myself that so that I would remember and cherish, now I tell myself that to keep from getting angry over some of the things she does. LOL No, I still cherish each moment and love the way she's growing into a beautifully modest young lady with a great sense of right and wrong and the knowledge of how to use that sense.
raptureready,
I'm an older mom too. I do cherish every moment! Although, it's getting harder now since he turned three. I heard it's more difficult than the "terrible two".
My main problem at that age was that she could toddle faster than I could waddle. :lol: I think when we're older we have more patience. At least we do until the hot flashes start. :lol: Right now we're going through the stages where she has mood swings from her hormones waking up and I have them from mine going to sleep. Makes for some interesting days. :thumbup:
