Hi. It's August 2nd and I'm four and a half months pregnant with my second child. I decided to share my experiences having babies in my forties, all the challenges and all the joys of it.
My first, a girl, I had at 42 and half years old. I am now 46 and a half. When this baby is born, I will be only 5 weeks short of my 47th birthday.
I certainly didn't imagine I would have children in my forties. My life's plan, as I had it figured out in high school, was to be be married in my twenties, with a successful career, then four kids by the time I was thirty. None of those events transpired. They didn't even happen in my thirties!! But I wasn't giving up on my dream to be a mother. I got blessed with these two pregnancies at 41 and 46. I have a healthy almost four-year old and one on the way, due the first week of December, if all goes well!
So far so good, half way through to my nine months. I feel surprisingly fine this morning. We'll see what tomorrow brings!
