[quote=Anonymous]CONGRATULATIONS!!! I had my last one at 43. The older kids are doting siblings who spoil her rotten. She’s the center of attention with all their friends. Better than a puppy, lol. And you, well I can only speak for me - it’s great having her home as the others start going off with friends and then off to college. I will be devastated when her time comes, but I’m planting the seed now for nearby schools. My husband and I both exercise regularly and take care of ourselves. It was a wake-up call for him to lose weight so he can “keep up”. She keeps me young as well. You will find parent friends, just like with your other kids - some will be younger, first-time parents who may or may not appreciate BTDT advice from you. Others will be older, like you, with older kids. You’ll gravitate to the ones who have older kids with similar ages as your older ones. It comes in time, once yours hits school age. Find your support groups through hobbies/activities. Join a gym or an exercise group for you. Enroll the baby in classes with the goal of finding others like you. There are more of us out there than you may realize. And don’t give out your age if you don’t want to. Maybe start a skincare regimen/Botox/retinol if you feel self-conscious. Or don’t. Live YOUR life and you will find your support people. What town are you in? More urban areas have older moms who waited to start their families. Find female doctors. They too have kids at older ages. Talk to people and embrace it :)[/quote]
