If you want to make God (Budda, Jesus, Shiva, Shangdi, etc.) laugh, tell him about your plans...

So I'm approximately ten years older than you...I'd be staring a 9/10 year old in the mug with a 17 year old sister in the mix today?

I'd do it with a smile.

But, to paraphrase the Chief of the Boat from Apocalypse Now: I'm not supposed to know where we're taking this life, so I don't. But one look at you, and I know it's gonna be hot, wherever it is.

All the best!

COngrats brother!!! I'm 44, and we just had one too. Scary to think that at her high school graduation party, I will be 63 years old. It has put a damper on some plans that I had of course, but honestly, parenthood has been the best part of my life this far. Would not change a thing.

Awesome. Congratulations!

I started a thread a few years ago regarding having children after forty.http://forums.pelicanparts.com/off-topic-discussions/297608-children-after-40-a.html?highlight=children I got some fantastic responses. I was not enthusiastic about the prospect but my wife wanted one more. Life takes its twists and turns and nothing ever developed. My wife had some lady problems a few years back and the doc (with me in the room) tells her she won't have kids again. I have my two daughters aged 10 and 25 so my basket is full. My wife, while disappointed realized that was the end of baby making.

Fast forward to July 1, on my 48th birthday my wife tells me that we have a bun in oven. Oh Jeebus, elation, dread, thrilled, scared, the whole gamut of emotions in a 10 second period.

Remember what it was like when you were changing a diaper at 3 am and you're half asleep and the baby is sick and screaming and then has diarhea all up your arm, all over the changing bench, and all over the carpet ?
you will. :D :eek:

Great news! You shall make a great Dad at this age. I think all men should begin having kids at 40+.
