My 52-year-old cousin is having a baby

Her fb seems to indicate that she's in labor right now.

I'm really excited for her.  They tried for years, suffered many m/c's and finally (I think finally is fitting in this case, right?) got pregnant with a sticky baby.

    I assume they used donor eggs? Good for her, and good luck. I can't imagine having my first at that age. My aunt had her first at 43 (pregnant by surprise...she had several abortions in her 20s/30s and decided to keep this one). Thankfully she is energetic!

    Yup, pretty crazy, right?  I don't think I'll ever complain to her about being exhausted from night wakings or chasing DS around because I imagine in 25 years I'll be way more tired than I am now!

    I know some in our family are talking about her behind her back because they think she's too old.

    Wow. Hope she has a complication free birth, and I hope it's everything she ever wanted.

    Yeah no kidding!  I'm sure that will be hard, but she's obviously wanted it for a long time.  I'm sure she will be a great mom!

    I'm not sure.  I know they did a lot of fertility treatments (I believe they even went out of the US for some), but I'm not sure what they were.  I didn't find out that they were even trying until I was pregnant with DS and definitely didn't feel comfortable bringing up TTC with someone who was having a hard time, especially while pregnant.

    Good for her! So glad her fight seems to have turned out worth it. Really age is nothing but a number, my dad is 58 and the most fit and healthy person I know.
