Congrats to you! I'm 37 and our first is due in July. We tried for over an year, thought I'm getting too old or that there was something wrong with my body. But bam... it happened!!!

EDD: 8/27/12 DD born 8/31/12, 10 lbs 10 oz and perfect in every way.
First time for me, after a lot of trying but nothing "official" other than 2 rounds of clomid for DH. I just turned 37 and this is my birthday gift (Christmas too!)
This is not my first but I was over 35 when I had my first. I was almost 37 when my daughter was born and will be almost 39 or 39 when this one enters the world.

This is my second, but my first pregnancy was 16 years ago, and it's like being pregnant for the first time. I'd completely forgotten what it was like. Plus, that long ago, the rules of prenatal care are TOTALLY different.
Wow .. I feel honored to be in such good company... figured there might be a handful of us.. but it's nice to see so many "Elderly" mommas on here LOL
We're having a pretty smooth pregnancy, hopefully you guys are too or at least nothing too drastic. Right now our little munchkin is almost 30 weeks...and it feels like he hasn't slept in over 3 weeks...I swear he never sits still now.
30 weeks on Sunday and he is under strict orders not to be a 2011 tax refund baby LOL.. lately it feels like he is tryin to break out
Happy New year to you all....
