Wow did this make me feel bad. I didn't get married until I was almost 37 and was blessed 4 months later to be pregnant with my first child....I now have a beautiful, healthy little boy who is 14 months old. I'm now 39 and think a lot about being older and how I wish that all of this could have happened to me earlier in life.
I don't want to be old. I can't believe I am going to be 40. I don't look almost 40 -still thin and no wrinkles and can out spin any younger girl at the gym and out walk them on my power walks. However, don't think for a moment that I don't envy the younger girls who were blessed to find happiness earlier than I did.
However, I think that God created us to have babies at a variety of ages....and I'm not afraid at all of pursuing the chance of having another amazing bundle of joy to love. I worked for 16 years out of college and am now a stay at home mom. I have the energy, money and time to give a child and hope that I have the chance.
Bottom line, keep your opinions to yourself if you think we are too old. A child is a blessing....
(now I don't think it is quite that smart to do this when you are 66, but at my age I still have a chance folks -don't set me onto that block of ice into the sea yet).
