erings Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I think you'd be a great mom, Mandy. Don't wait too long...those eggs start to decrease every year. And it gets harder to keep up with the physical demands of mommyhood. Seriously. I had the first two in my early 20's (a breeze), the younger two in my mid thirties - not so breezy. but maybe you're more energetic than me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hotplant Posted February 18, 2010 Author Share Posted February 18, 2010 My first was when I was 25...last 32. Yeah, I think your twenties are best suited for motherhood. I can't imagine having the energy too much later than say 35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine having the energy too much later than say 35. I'm 29 now. My mom had me when she was (too) young, and my last sister was born when she was 29. She didn't want any more after that. HER cousin and her sister both had kids after 40; my cousin had all of her kids in her 40's, and my aunt had two generations of kids: her youngest kid was born being an aunt. I don't want to have them much past 30-35. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virginia Posted February 18, 2010 Share Posted February 18, 2010 I'm 29 now. My mom had me when she was (too) young, and my last sister was born when she was 29. She didn't want any more after that.

I don't want to have them much past 30-35. I had my first a month shy of 28, second at 30, and 3rd at 35. There was a big difference in my energy level, but on the other hand, I was waaay more laid back with #3 (and she is by far the pistol of the bunch!). I did have to see a high risk specialist with her because of "Advanced Maternal Age" but just as a precaution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
--Heartbreaker-- Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 What made me happy today? I was getting a ride home from work with a colleague, and his 3 year old son sitting in the car seat in the back was singing along to the radio, just crappy pop hits and stuff, but the way he knew one word in ten and would just kinda hum the rest was just adorable...

manderlyh Posted February 19, 2010 Share Posted February 19, 2010 I got to meet my friend's baby tonight. He was precious. It's so hard to believe that they're sooo small! My niece was his size when she was born, (actually, and ounce lighter and .25 of an inch shorter), but man, oh man! they grow so fast!

manderlyh Posted February 22, 2010 Share Posted February 22, 2010 I had a girls' night out tonight with two old high school friends: one who lives near me and is still very close to me, and another who moved out of state and I WAS very close to up until she moved. We had fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zepulon Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Wow, I haven't posted in here in ages. So, lately, a few things that have made me happy: - Spent last weekend with a good friend of mine who had just returned to the US after spending 10 months in Guantanamo Bay. It was awesome catching up with her...I missed her a ton! - Met a new guy; our first date is tomorrow night. And... - Going to New York City in June! I've never been...so excited!
