Couple months shy of 49, expecting #4

I just a couple months shy of being 49 and have been making my empty nest plans with excitement. I recently found out I am expecting baby #4 on my 27 year old's birthday in January 07.

My youngest is almost 16, learning to drive and full of teenage attitude!! I should be the poster Mom for poor family planning. I had two when I was 22 & 23, then again at 33, and now at 49!

When I went to the doctor 5 years ago and asked for a tubal ligation, he told me I had less than 1% chance of getting pregnant at my age. Only people who bought eggs got pregnant in their 40's was his remark.

I had my doubts about his advice and continued birth control until just a few months ago, thinking if it was 1% 5 years ago, surely it was zero now. Wrong!!
