Congratulation to you both. How about shopping with your daughter for fabric to make the quilt. That should spur your creative juices.

Thanks to everyone, you all are the greatest ladies in the world. I would love to let my daughter read all of your comments but I'm not supposed to tell anyone because she doesn't want to say anything right away because she's afraid something will happen, later I will let her read this. Good idea to shop with her for fabric for the baby quilt. Now all I have to do is find a pattern that is easy to make.

My mom was 40 years old when she had my twin brother and me with a one year old 60 years ago. Congrats and best wishes to all of you. Every baby is a miracle.

Please give your daughter a marvelous book called "The Thinking Woman's Guide to a Better Birth" by Henci Goer. It's available now on Amazon.

Having the research to support decisions and "issues" that she'll be exposed to will help her to relax and realize that if she is healthy enough to get pregnant, she'll likely be healthy enough to have a good birth. Chronological age does not always fall in line with biological/body age. After all, pregnancy and birth is the natural function of a healthy woman's body.

Best to the whole family!

Thanks for the good wishes and I'll get that book for my daughter.

You know, I had my first baby at 23 and was scared!! I think part of the fear is "normal" if that makes any sense. So many women have babies older now and everything is just fine! I am so happy for you and wish you all the best!! HUGS

Baby Update!!!! My daughter went for her ultra sound today and she just called me. Her due date is June 27, Dr told her she is 8 weeks plus a few days. Wow, this is so exciting when its your daughter having the baby.
