Thanks Mark!
It is an awakening to be old enough to have a Grandchild..I had my son when I was VERY young, and he was 19 when his son was born..which made me a Grandma for the first time at 33. I was like...what?!?!
Congrats on your new niece or nephew to be!
I was actually 35 when Sarah was born. So I was two years older than that when I became a parent. (I had a happy childhood, so I decided to extend it indefinitely...)
I had actually never even HELD a baby until mine was born. (They were expensive, seemed fragile, and they leaked at both ends.) AFTER she was born, I found out I was actually pretty good with kids... until then, I didn't give myself much credit, and avoided it! YIKES!
