Parenting after 35

Relationship history

Amy's news about her impending nuptials got me wondering about everyone's history. I mean the history with your current SO. We've had these posts before, but they're always fun and good for the newbies.

Me and DH: Met in San Francisco the summer of '98, started dating summer '99, engaged in Vancouver spring '08, married in Vegas Spring of '09, bundle of joy born in So Cal, summer '09.

Re: Relationship history

  • I agree... they are fun!  And I remember your wedding?or at least you telling us about it on the PG after 35 board.

    Anyway... me and DH:

    Met October 2006; Got engaged/I moved in November 2007; Wedding June 2008; Got pregnant November 2008; Little Man born August 2009.

    So all of this in only 4-1/2 years.

    Different approach to mine, but I like it!Wink
  • Oh, and random question. Is it nuptual or nuptial. I always thought it was the former, but spell check said it was the latter. Have I been saying that wrong my whole life?Embarrassed

  • Met on jdate in 2004. Moved in together in 2006 followed by getting preg right away. Jason was born in June 2007. Big wedding in June 2009 (after all, I married a 50 y.o. bachelor! Jason stood under the chuppah with us). Preg again in 2010 - Erin was born in October.

    Don't ask me about spelling - English is my 3d language.

  • well, mine is a bit unique, I suppose.

    Met DH in 97

    Dated off and on from 98-2003 (we got engaged)

    Married 2005

    Baby 2009

    He was my first boyfriend at the tender age of 27 and the one and only for me since then.  Yeah, I was a freak of nature but who cares.  We met at work.  He was a medic and I worked in HR.

    God Bless our sweet baby James. Our son, born 11/22/09. Unplanned, Emergency C-section image

    Different life trajectories are crazy!  For me, Fall '87 I moved from private school to public junior high, Summer '89 I had my first job, Fall '90 I started my senior year in HS, Spring '96 I got my one and only 4.0 in college(and celebrated by having the best Summer ever in Europe!!!), Winter '98 I transferred to Berkeley(which led to me meeting DH in SF)... and '10 is pretty much the same as yours, just with an older kid Stick out tongue 

    I'll play but I just realized I have been married over half my life.

  • Met DH in Jan. 98...started dating soon after

    I moved out of state in 99 and we continued dating but in early 2000 broke up for a few months - went on few dates, but no one had DH's humor, smartness, and I just couldn't get him out of my mind..and the same was true for him :) Started dating again in fall 2000. I moved back to Ohio in April 2001.

    Engaged in October 2006

    Married in October 2007

    Conceived Fiona in October 2008

    Baby Girl born in August 2009

    Hope to add to family in late 2011/Early 2012

  • First off... just_peachy... I didn't have any serious relationships until my mid-30s so you weren't a freak of nature by any means. I was a 35-year-old virgin. But then I was bullied throughout my entire childhood/teen years and had MAJOR self-esteem issues, which are best left for another post.

    Laura... we have very similar timelines. :-)

    ateytelb... I met my DH on JDate too.  I think a lot of Jewish people in NJ (and NYC area) have met their significant others that way.

    DH and I met in August 2002.  I was living in Chicago and he in Las Vegas, but we met at a business conference in Dallas.  We became friends and emailed occasionally but nothing more.  In March 2004 I was living in Dallas, and he and I started talking on the phone every day for HOURS.  April 2004 I decided I needed to go to Vegas to see if anything was really there.  He started flying to Dallas every month to visit and moved in with me in November 2004.  We finally got engaged August 2007 and married November 2007.  Pregnant with Miller in May 2009, and our little man arrived January 2010.  Praying daily to give him a sibling very, very soon!

    I'll  pray with you, girl. Miller would make an awesome big brother!

  • Me and DH:

    Met briefly in 2000 but we were both dating other people so nothing came of it. Got together again in 2002 and started dating after a whirlwind weekend where we spent 24/7 together! We liked it so much that we moved in together shortly after that and we've been together 24/7 ever since. We got engaged on 12/30/2005 and got married on 5/6/2007. It was my fault that we had such a long engagement, I felt like we weren't ready financially and deep down I was afraid of marriage, lol. I know too many people and relatives that were miserable in their marriages and I was afraid of that happening to us. We've had our ups and downs but overall we are happy. And now we are even happier since having our sweet boy Adrian in 2009. He completes us Smile

    Me: 44 DH: 42. DS born healthy at 40 weeks 8/24/09. TTC since then with no luck or ART. Surprise BFP 8/6/14... MMC @ 8 weeks 4 days... Miss you everyday sweet baby angel.

First son Feb '06, 2nd son in Dec '07, & last son in Sep '09. What a wonderful start to our marriage!

  • Met at a friend's birthday party in San Francisco in November 2005 (funny as we come from neighboring European countries and meet on the other side of the globe), engaged July 2006, married August 2007 (hence my screen name SFAug07 - our wedding was in San Francisco in August 2007), pregnant in 2008, Sarah joined us August 8, 2009, and now pregnant with #2 (EDD September 10, 2011). That will be it for us in regards to kids!
