After 25 years of marriage, my husband and I had our first baby when we were nearly 47. We both feel we make better parents now, than we would if we had our daughter at a more traditional age.
Insurance actuaries now say it is likely people our age will live into our 100's, which gives us hope that we will be there for our daughter.

About Catherine: I am mom to three grown sons, two grandchildren and two rescue dogs. After years of raising my boys as a single mom, I remarried a wonderful man who had never had a child of his own. Unexpectedly, I found myself pregnant at 49!
Sadly we lost that precious baby at 8 weeks, and decided to try again. Five more losses, turned down for donor egg, foster care and adoption due to my age and losses - we have accepted that there will be no more babies in our house.
