I'm 37, have two girls, 3 and 19 months 
8 weeks pregnant now
8 weeks pregnant nowI'm 37, have two girls, 3 and 19 months
Im 37 also & have 2 gorgeous girls, 9&7 and no3 on the way!
The only thing im sort of not looking forward to is no sleep, im so used to my girls going to bed & then seeing them in the morning, not having to wake up through the night you know, but its not forever i guess!
Same here!Hopefully our babies will get into a good sleeping pattern at night
This is what im hoping, my elderst was such an easy baby, right from newborn, my second wss a challenge for the first 4 months & then she was easy, so this one is going to be a really good baby girl for mamma right from birth ha ha, i can dream cant i!!
Honestly what ever her little personality is im gona love it all even if she gives me no sleep, dont care cause she's my last bundle & im going to cherrish every moment cause i see how quick our children grow!!

Our two other kids were great babies and were sleeping great from just a few months I'm hoping the same but like you say this is my last too and want to enjoy regardless,I feel totally blessed.They do grow up so fast 
I guess it's all about routine We both have 2 helpers on hand!!!! x

Thats what is so great about having older kids, I never wanted my 3rd child to be close in age as my first two, I always knew that I'd have a gap, I was a little worried if might be too much of a gap but I dont think like that anymore. My elderst sister is 8 years older then me and we are really close, even growing up she used to take me along with her & her boyfriend when they'd go out for walks or the park.

I wondered at first, about the huge age gap my two oldest and this baby will have. M oldest is 17, then 13, then 7. But all three are pretty excited about baby. I think the oldest boy will make it a point to be close to the little one. The 13yr is my girl, and I know she is going to be a huge help to me, so will bond easily with baby.
Deem73 my due date is 28th of June, how about you?
My elderst sister has a 21yr old daughter to her first marriage and now has a 18month old son with her new partner!
Then my other sister has 2 daughters to her first marriage, one is 20yrs and the other is 18yrs and now has a 4month old baby girl with her new partner!
Our children have already been chosen for us before they even get here, just my belief.
And we are all very lucky and blessed to be able to have children of our own, I am grateful for all that is given to me x

My due date is 23rd of April
I totally agree with that children are chosen for us and a great believer in things happen for a reason.As much as we want to plan things in our lives sometimes it never works out that way and our lives are planned for us!! My dad remarried and I have 2 sisters one at 24 and 15 and a brother at 21.There is only 18 months between my daughter and sister!! xx

Yes we can plan all we like sometimes DeeM73 but its strange how life can just change it for us, and make something completely different happen!! Somtimes for the good & sometimes for the bad, we are all here to learn something, once again just my belief, we all think differently hey??
Wow DeeM73 you dont have long to go, any plans for the labour if you dont mind me asking? Im scared of labour my first two weren't exactly like having a

Definitely have the same view regarding life.We are all here for a reason
I know not long to go
Don't mind you asking at all,I have to wait until 34 weeks before I can make any plans,the placenta was low at my 20 week scan Hopefully it has moved and I'll be going for a normal delivery,if not then it will be a c-section.Will probably just go with what I did last time which was gas and air then pethidine if needed 
What about you? x

My first two were vagina deliveries with only gas, I did ask for an epidural both times but they said it was too late, this time Im planning to ask for the epidural much earlier so they cannot say its too late, mine were both very painful I must say, but all worth it in the end.
So do you need to do any nursery shopping or do you still have things from your other children??

Thanks 
I hope it moves too but if not then happy to go with whatever,our health and safety come first.
I'm opting for an epidural as a last resort!The pethidine did the trick but might be a different story this time round!!
Oh I still have to shop!!I gave all my baby stuff away after my last one mainly cos I never thought I would be pregnant again!The pram we had would be no use anyway as it was a double one.Anyway I'm not going overboard on the shopping cos this is DEFINITELY the last!!What about you?xx

Hey Dee, i actually held onto my girls things only cause i knew i was not done until i had my 3 children, but we had the big things like, cot, change table & pram in storage & the cot & change table got ruined but the pram is perfect.
Ive actually gone a bit silly with buying my baby some gorgeous clothes, couldnt help myself!
I got gestational diabetes with this pregnancy & im a little upset im going to need insulin, my appointment is on monday grrr
