The Golden Girls (of June 2014)

Just wanted to see how all my AMA momma's are adjusting to life after 35 with baby in tow!

36 and owing AMA biotches! (ok I'm sore and tired but who isn't these days?)

I turn 36 this month and am super proud of my AMA status! I am not sure how younger me would have handled the early challenges of motherhood and am glad that I waited for the moment to be right. That said, I have a work related right shoulder injury that has really flared up from all the baby lifting. It makes me look like a total old lady.

I believe I also have the official "oldest dad" on the board (my husband turned 49 the week after LO was born and this baby is his first as well). Sometimes I think we are insane people, because after being sure that we are "one and done" during the pregnancy we are actually entertaining the idea of having another when I am 37 and he is 51.

On one hand I think that it is crazy to be having a kid past 50 (on his part). At the same time I think that it will be even more important for our LO to have a sibling there for the eventual time when we are gone (which in likelihood will happen earlier for him than for many of his peers). My husband is also a super-fit, super healthy guy whose grandparents lived well into their 80s/90s.

Man, I just put a kind of heavy post on a thread that started with a Golden Girls gif...

@Internationalkate‌ my dad was 48 when I was born, and 50 when my sister was. I always thought it was awesome. He has great stories.

Can I join in? I turn 35 on Friday

Doing fine here, save the weight not wanting to budge at all. At all. Lame.

@chickpea912‌ and @lizardbreath14‌ welcome to the club! I raise my prune juice to salute you. Pull your walker up and make yourself comfy...it's nice over 35!

@CAMag‌ You actually reminded me of one if the great things about being on the older side, I think the instinct and ability to co-parent is often stronger. Perhaps because many men emotionally mature at on a different timeline than do women (yes, a gross generalization) an older dad is often a super-attentive dad. Since I switched to bottle feeding we have been a true 50/50 team (minus the hours he is at work). Fifteen years ago when we first met, although he was a great guy, I'm not sure he could have mustered this level of involvement.

36 for another 6 weeks or so. Definitely joining the sticky weight club too. It came off much easier when I was younger! I can't keep my hair brown as long as I used to be able to either. Dang grays and white show back up with vengeance only 3 weeks post color X(

I turned 35 just three days before my LO was born. She's baby number 3 for me and I'm done now. Life is going great!! Although, I am tired and wishing my LO took longer naps like my last two did. And I totally agree about the weight being harder to come off the older I am!

aaarrrgghhh! same here, chick. That's another annoying thing. also, with H and I both being 35, you'd think we were in a better financial situation, but we're not, really.LOL.

Seriously. Seriously.

Degrees are not cheap.
Nor are credit cards. Harrumph. Bad choices as a youngin'.

Another AMA here! I turned 35 just 9 days before my LO was born. I have a 2-year-old as well, and I feel like my life is mostly about changing diapers and feeding someone all the time now. I think I've only dried and straightened my hair twice since June, but I'm starting to embrace the wavy-hair-always-in-a-ponytail look.
