just wanted to say to all you pregnant over 35's that becoming a mum again at 40 is one of the best things i have ever done!
charlie is nearly 5mths now , my son is 16 and my daughter 10 and i worried myself silly through my pregnancy with thoughts of what am i doing? how will we cope? im going to be the oldest mum at the school gate, will my other kids resent the baby, will my relationship withstand the stress ( this is my second marriage, the kids are from my 1st so hes always had my full attention!)
i'll admit i had a difficult pregnancy with health worries for myself and baby and also the hardest labour of the 3 but everything turned out perfect in the end.
yes im tired and yes i feel old some days, especially at the mother and baby group where some of the mums could be my own children and yes i was devastated in asda when the cashier thought i was charlies nan!
But im happy and chilled and am coping so much better than i did before, my house looks like a bombsite most days but i dont care anymore, hubby's shirts arent always ironed, is it the end of the world, no!
the whole family love charlie to bits, we wouldnt be without him for the world and its lovely having children old enough to help out, my son loves to bath him, my girl is a dab hand at nappy changing and we all muck in. hes the most loved and cuddled baby in the world x
i dont miss my social life at all, weve travelled, been to all the concerts, festivals etc that we wanted to and we can do it all again in a few years if we want, i havnt lost anything just gained the most wonderful precious little person.
my life has never felt so complete
please dont ever doubt yourselves, we may me in our 40's but we can still be yummy mummys!
lots of love to all of you xxx
p.s not really 60wks pregnant, just to OLD to know how to change my ticker, need to ask my children to do it for me lol x
