I understand why early breeders probably feel different. Did that make any sense?

I'm not partial to the term "early breeder," although I guess it applies to me personally, but not to my husband who's a decade my senior. He graduated from USNA and did his four years in USAF, then medical school so our traveling has always been done with children in tow.

Having little ones to raise is a grounding and babies do provide continuity to our lives. Take heart wardaddy, you'll have a string of grandchildren to always keep you and your wife "grounded to the whole spectrum of life."

We've been raising grandchildren for nearly ten years and they are the most enjoyable of all.

lol....I didn't mean it like barefoot and preggers in a Dollar Store gingham dress with an apron...

I got a late start at 31 and the last (so far) was born on my 45th birthday....with 2 more in between.

I think 5 is a nice round number.

I pray everyday just to survive to help my wee lads make it to adulthood...for their sakes and selfishly for mine too of course.

I also pray not to survive my wife...unlikely since she is younger like you.

Nite!
