[quote=Anonymous]Got married at 26.  Had babies at almost 29 and 30.

DH is 2.5 years older than me.

I am really glad we had our kids soon after getting married.  That said, we were financially stable (I was able to quit my job to stay home and we were still quite comfortable), we owned a home and we had/have involved grandparents as well.

My Mom died almost 5 years ago when the kids were 5 and 6 and I'm really glad they got to know her well.  She was amazing.  If we had waited, they might not have met/known her.

I don't feel like I missed out on anything.  Right after our 2nd child was born I started a business that has grown to be quite successful.   I also still have time to volunteer.  My husband and I travel together frequently and life is, overall, very good.  Plus, I'll be 47 when they're both in college which is (un my opinion) super young for around these parts.

If I found out I was pregnant tomorrow (at 40) I would probably cry.  I don't think I could do another baby at this age/stage in my life.  [/quote]
