What a great story! Thanks for sharing!

That's awesome! I bet you were ready for those little blessings! Women are having babies at all different ages these days! My Grandmother had 13, my dad being the oldest. There is about 20 years difference between him and the youngest.

I was 28 & 30. We actually started trying about a year after we were married, but didn't get pregnant for 3 years. I had actually given up & gone back to school accepting that we weren't going to have children of our own. I got pregnant the first semester back - lol. I definitely believe someone else knew what was best for us, more than we did b/c I finished my education, got more time with my girls when they were babies b/c I was in school rather than working the demanding FT job I had before & now I'm even able to stay home with them now. I wouldn't change ANYTHING!!!

38, 39, 41. I think I should have had them a couple (maybe two or three) years earlier but I'm happy with the way things worked out.

As someone else said, I'm not sure I have the stamina of someone younger, but I was able to have a wonderful career and traveled extensively for business. And because of the years I spent working, I am able to have a successful consulting business that enables me to work part time from home. Also, I lived on my own for several years between graduating from college and marrying DH and I'm comfortable knowing that I can support myself and can live on my own if I have to (although with three little kids, that's not going to happen anytime soon!). And because we were older when we had kids, we are more financially secure and have no student loans, a nice house, a well-funded retirement account, etc.

The other thing is that in our area, It seems as though most people have children anywhere from their late 20's to early 40's so I don't feel so old! I would say that most people in this town with little kids (under 6 or so) seem to be in their mid to late thirties. I don't know anyone in their 20's. It's fairly expensive to live here so many people wait until they are established career-wise.

I was 29 and 31 when I had my girls. We had been married for three years, and we were definitely ready to start our family. The rest is history!

I was 20 with #1, 22 with #2, and will be 23 with #3. We got pregnant about 6 months after we were married. The first couple weren't planned, and it was a pretty difficult transition, but I would not have it any other way-no matter what. Babies are a blessing

With my first, it was obviously a teenage preganancy, relationship didn't last. I married and had my 2nd by the time I was 20. That of course didn't last and I was a single mother of 2 by 22 years old. I married my husband at 25. We were saved and Baptized together and that's when we started living our life right. We had our first child (my 3rd) the next year and then our last 3 years ago. We would like more but I am just not ready. I know we should try again before I am 35 (I am 33) but I need more time. I would like to wait about 5 more years but we will see how I feel about starting over then! It's a hard road when you have kids at a young age but it's that hard road that got me to where I am today and that is exactly where I need to be. I wouldnt change a thing (-:

I was 26, 29 and now I am 37. I will hopefully have this one sometime the week before my birthday.

None were really planned, especially this last one, but I wouldn't change when I had them. I don't think I was ready when I was younger, I am more patient now, I think I have more energy now, than I did when I had my ds at 26, plus the older two can help me out if, or should I say when, I need it.

37! I got married at 35 and had ds a year and a half later. As I got married later, having children earlier just wasn't something I wanted to do. I'm glad we got going when we did: a year later I went into premature menopause and can't have any more.
