Gezzz.... bad enough we have to tell our weight here but now we're adding

age and children... LOL

Ok, I'll be 42 in November -- My oldest is 23, one just turned 21 and my

baby is 5 -- I have a total of 5 grandchildren -- the newest is just a month

old and the first boy... the oldest is the 5 year old who we are adopting

and will be final with that on December 2nd -- who said grandparents get to

spoil 'em and send 'em home???? ~smile~ My husbands two oldest son's are

working on more grandbabies now so our " grand's " continue to be on the way

or in the making... I love being a grandma and I love being a mom.

I'm 44 with 8 & 9 year olds. Why do you think my goals are to learn

to ski and to go horseback riding? Would any sane middle ager do

this if they weren't pushed into it by their kids?! LOL

Thank goodness for us older parents. I sure hope having young kids in my

40's will keep me young. I have 3 boys and I will be 43 on the 27th. My

boys are 18 and in the Army, soon to be 16 and a sophomore in HS and a 3

year old. My dh is 6 yrs older and has been mistaken as the grandfather of

3 yo.

Well, I'm 53 and have an 8 year old and an almost-13 year old! Yes, I started

my family at age 40. But now I look as young as the other moms at the

school!

It's so great...

I am an older mother....but my kids have all joined middle age with

me...ugh!! both in their early to mid forties...except for daughter #3, the

baby who is 39...but I guess that is considered middle aged...it's weird!

I had my first baby when I was 16 (put him up for adoption), and my

second baby when I was 32 (had her at home and you couldn't take her

away from me!) I know to never say never, but if I'm going to have a

third baby, I really hope it happens before I'm 48!!! LOL I am 35 now.

So yes, I'm the mother to an 18.5 year old and an almost 3, which makes

me feel a little old sometimes. Joanne, my toddler, keeps me in play

mode and down 177 pounds, I feel younger than I can ever remember

feeling. Having a baby in high school and dealing with all that stuff

does tend to change one's outlook on life.

Actually, I suppose it's totally possible for me to be a

grand(birth)mother already, but unless my son makes contact with me via

the adoption agency or some other route, I won't ever know.

13 and 4?? So, at the risk of sounding too personal, you gave birth at 45

years old? The reason I ask, is that we really want to have another baby

(preferably a boy :-) ), or adopt. We are thinking adoption is probably the

only way since I did have my tubes tied 5 years ago, and I am 42 years old.

However, I keep having dreams that I have gotten a reversal or I " reherse "

the speech to the GYN on " why " I want a reversal. Then, I wonder if it's not

" safe " . What will I do to my body? Can I carry a child healthily after

getting so sick?

I'm 39. I have a 12 year old daughter and two sons, 8 and 3. I'm five months

pregnant with number. four. I didn't feel old until I got pregnant and my OB

started with the amnio and wanting me to get my tubes tied because " you're

up there in age " .

Funny part is, four and a half month ago I was telling my husband that I

wouldn't even mine one more after this one!

I have a step granddaughter. My husband is 46 and has children who are 23

and 20. I didn't even feel old with the step grandbaby!

Take care,

Ok, I've got to jump in here now....I'm 44, have daughters 24, 21, and a son

10....and a granddaughter, 4. My 21 year old has the 4 year old....you do

the math.

It was a very traumatic thing to be a granny at 40...and her a mom at

16...but it has turned out WONDERFULLY. The daughter is graduating in

December with a finance degree, Summa Cum Laude, and has been on full

scholarship all thru college. She has already been hired with a growing

company here in an entry-level mgmt position, and they are working around

her last semester of college. We made them wait until they graduated high

school to get married and they are doing GREAT! He is waiting to hear if

he's been accepted into law school upon his graduation in May. God really

does know best...never in my wildest dreams, 5 years ago, could I have

foreseen their futures as being so rosy.

And me??? I'm a cool granny with blonde hair, (no longer gray), have

completed 5 triathlons and have just begun training for my first marathon.

Ran a 5 mile race on Saturday in the cold rain. Such fun!!! People who hear

I have a granddaughter exclaim " You look TOO YOUNG to be a grandma!! " I just

smile and say Thanks!! If only they knew me three years ago, at 306 lbs,

gray headed and barely getting myself out of bed each day....Now, I have a

new body, a new career, a new outlook.....but same old hubby...going on 26

years in December. Life is GOOD!!
