[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]50 with kids 19, 17, and 9. We are on the older end for 4th grade parents in our youngest's school, but there are a significant number who are older than us. [/quote]

I know this is an old thread but am curious (if you don't mind sharing of course), was your youngest from a different marriage, unplanned, or did you decide to go for #3 when the other two were older? [/quote]

I assume I wrote that given the ages.  All three kids from the same marriage and all planned. The day our eldest turned 9, I woke up to find my DH in tears, which completely freaked me out. Turned out he was fine, just deeply sad because half of our time with DD at home was over and he hated the idea that our time with kids was going by so quickly. He’d always wanted a third, and over the next couple months convinced me that we should TTC for one month, and let the fates decide if we should have a third.  I consented in part because I figured the odds of getting pregnant at 39 in one month of trying were tiny. And here we are!

I’m really glad he persuaded me. We were not at all ready for the empty nest when DS1 left for college in the fall, and kid 3 is awesome.
