You're all right. I'm worried over something so minor. Yet, I still feel like I'm missing out on something. Ugh. I just need to focus on other things for the time being. Cheryl, I love your mother's quote very much. I do believe it's true. I just wish the right time were soon. Thanks for all the great advice. You’re all right. I’m worried over something so minor.

I was 31 and a half when I had Hunter Bear. Hang in there girl. *hugs* Though I’ve never struggled with infertility, I have friends who have and I can imagine your frustration with it. 28 is still very young (said by an almost 40 year old!)

I had Julia when I was 28. There are benefits to both - being a young mom or a mom that's a little older. There's no "correct" age for having a baby. There's just what's right for you. I agree with Cheryl's mom when she said, "babies come at the right time every time." God has a plan for you. Things will work out. My mother had me when she was 18. I had Julia when I was 28.

This is a wonderful time in your life and you have such a beautiful son. (I know you know that and you don't need me to tell you) Just love him with all you are and 28 won't be so bad...that's what I do when I think about being 35!!!! Enjoy it.

Happy birthday. My husband turned 27 on the 23rd, and I teased him like mad about being over the hill. It's really not that old. Not like "28". Now that's old. :) -- I was a surprise baby. My mom was 36 when she had me, and my next oldest sibling is seven years older than I. And no, we didn't get along. But I don't feel traumatized by that. I felt more like an only child, and that's okay. I was very self-sufficient and enjoyed playing by myself. Now as adults, the age gap isn't quite so important since we all have families now. -- My mother, a very wise, wonderful woman, would tell you that babies come at the right time, every time. If you end up having your next baby a few years from now, just think of what a great help Dawson will be. My siblings helped out a lot with me, and one brother in particular felt that I was "his" baby when he was ten. Mom said that she would have felt far more exhausted if she had me within three years of the last. Works for me. :) Love you too. Happy birthday.
