Pregnancy Info HOME

I, too, am 39 and have a 17-year-old daughter. I am four months pregnant, and am actually due the day after her graduation! My daughter is thrilled to death - she's always wanted a sibling. Unfortunately, she will be going away to college next August and will miss most of her brother or sister growing up. I get really nervous about things going wrong, especially because I had a miscarriage before. I also worry about being "the old mom" when I was always "the young mom". I hope I don't start wearing "mom jeans"! LOL! But I am so happy that I will have a newborn to look after when my daughter goes away to college, because otherwise I would have empty nest syndrome big time (we're very close). For me, I think I will have more patience this time around because I am older and more stable. Best of luck to you! I'm sure all will be fine.
