Hi All--Introduction

Dear Sharon,

When I had my son in 1969, I was the oldest maternity patient my doctor had. I was due in September, but not anywhere near ready to deliver. He decided that I would carry him as long as it took, because he thought my age made it a longer process (?????)!! My son finally arrived the middle of October. My daughter, six years later, was also a 10-month baby. When people commented about our ages, I simply gave them a vacuous look and said, "It just took us longer to figure out how to have babies." By the time they figured out I was joking, they were embarassed for making the comments in the first place.

Isn't it amazing how a pregnant woman becomes public property? People say the weirdest things, and a lot of them want to touch. I used a line similar to yours -- "I finally figured out what causes this."

ROTFL!

My little sister was due in September 1965, and my gramma came in August to be here for the event. She hung around, and hung around, and in October, she finally went home, and my parents were getting mad at me for making smart-aleck comments like, "If they say twins come early and this baby is late, does that mean you're going to have half a baby?" LOL

She was born >

Melinda Meahan - take out TRAS

Well, I'm still nursing my DD (now 14 months old), and the jolly periods finally came back last month, about 6 weeks after I had dropped to 4 feeds every 24hrs. My breast feeding councilor said that was when her period had restarted - the point at which she got to 4 feeds a day.

I'm working on weaning her off, but I shall probably keep one feed a day until she's about 2, at which time I shall gently discourage her.

These days it's best to wait until the adults accompanying little Sara or Jared introduce themselves. What with blended families, custodial grandparents, teenaged oopses and advances in infertility treatments it's not at all safe to make assumptions about who is related to whom, and how.

My teenaged daughter looks and acts much older than her age. I look younger than mine (but feel every last minute of my 44 years). And we don't look alike at all, but she's definitely mine. And there's this look we get from strangers (older women mostly) when they learn that we are mother and daughter. There's the facial scan, the attempt to reconcile divergent phenotypes, the obvious mental arithmatic. There are only a few who'll come right out and ask, so how old are you guys anyway, and I guess she looks like her dad, eh? I actually prefer those to the ones who turn around and quiz our teammates.

48 years ago when I took my first and only son for his first month check-up (I was 36) I made the remark that I was nervous and guessed I was ro old to be having a baby. That sweet pediatrician grinned and said " If you're not to old to be pregnant then you are not to old to have a baby." I guess he told me off!
