		|  | Today is my Birthday and.... I just was thinking, that if DH and I try for a 2nd, I will be 35 and by the time that baby is born I will be almost 36  . When I was younger, I never thought I would be an "older" mom.  My mom had my younger brother when she was 32 and when he was growing up she was always the oldest mom (compared to his friend's moms).  And here I am I just had my 1st at 33 and if I have a 2nd I will be 35. 
 ok, now I am depressed

 Don't be depressed...just think of what your children gain - you have more knowledge, security, and stability than when you were younger!

 Don't worry about having a baby at 36.  My best friend is having her second at 36.  It's a lot more common now than it was when we were kids.  So many of us had careers before we decided to have families.

 | Re: Today is my Birthday and.... Happy  B-day  
 Don't  be  depressed  I  jsut had  my  first  one  at  31  and  I am  now  32  getting married when I am  33 and then  going to try  for  a 2nd o ne and I will  be around 35 when  my second  pops  out.
 
 When I was  younger  I thought I would  be done  with having  children  by this  age  but  these  days  is  more common  now   to have  a  child  in your  30's then  it was   a few  years ago  so  really  don't  be  depressed
 
 Enjoy  you  b-day

 Don't be depressed.  I'm 36 and only on my first.  You're fine, and everything will be fine with your baby.  Besides the experience and stability you've gained, you will also have more patience with your babies in your thirties.
