Cadg0986 · September 2014

I am turning 28 in 15 days (woo!) and my DH is 26. Yep, guess I kinda robbed the cradle lol. And this LO is our first! (Aside from our furbaby pup who is now 4!)

MH will be 31 and I am 29. He is so ready for this baby. We have had two close calls, which I think got him mentally prepared to be a father. Now that we have a sticky baby, he is so excited! He actually likes to go baby clothes shopping with me. He wants to make sure I get him "cool" clothes that a boy would like (I pick out all sweater vests and stuff with penguins).

when did Penguins not become cool?!

No pun intended?

I know! I think penguins are awesome too. I have so much to learn about boys.

DH is 27, (I just turned 28) We have been together for 5 years and married for 2.
This is our first together and he is over the moon happy with joy. He has always been great with kids. He helped raise his much much younger brothers growing up and has been an amazing step father to DD since she was 4yrs old. So he has had a lot of practice and I feel like watching him become a dad is only going to make me fall more in love with him.

He was 28, 33 and 35

DH is 36 and I am 30. Sometimes I feel guilty that we waited so long to have kids since DH is older so are his parents but although we have been together since for 7 years we have been married for only 2 years. DH is super excited and is painting the nursery as I write this

We are both pretty on the younger side it seems. We are first time parents and are 24. We will turn 25 in March (he is 9 days older than me).

DH is 32 and I am 35. This is our first. He doesn't show any interest in infants (even our nephew that was born last month), so hopefully he'll come around once our baby is born.

My hubby will be 26 about a week after our little guy is here, I'm 23 we have been together almost 7 years and married a year and a half and both so excited for this little man to enter our lives!

madisoncastro · September 2014

My hub will turn 30 a couple weeks after LO is born! He always said he wanted an offspring by age 30, so our first little one is coming at a great time for him - haha!

frenchy816 · September 2014

This is our first and H is 33 and I'm 31.

MeganK81410 · September 2014

DH was 21 when we had our first! He'll be 25 when this one is born.

ETA: I was also 21 when our first was born, and will be a few weeks shy of 26 when we welcome this LO.

vrae0606 · September 2014

DH is 7 yrs younger than me & will be 33 when LO is born. I'm 40. It wasn't exactly my dream to wait until 40 to have a baby but tried with my now ex husband in my mid twenties and we lost 4 pregnancies. I met my now DH, we dated, we got married and decided to try & have a baby using IVF. And it was successful! So who cares being in your late 30s or early 40s. Sometimes it takes awhile for a dream to come true ;-)

sbevann26 · September 2014

DH turns 33 on our EDD. I just turned 21. It is both our first.

BrainCellSup · September 2014

DH and I are both 34 and this is our first.

lovelovelove09 · September 2014

I'll be 29 at the end of the month, hubby is 33. Our first, his second ( stepdaughter is 11).

MegsTactical · September 2014

My boyfriend is 24, and I am 38. This will be his first baby, my second. I was 25 when I had my first. Yes, he is younger, but he is like the male version of me. We have the best relationship.

SereJane · September 2014

Wow I am feeling like a young'un here!
I second the baby center comment-plenty of younger moms there.
DH is 25, I'm 24 and the twins are our first babies.
In my circle of friends, many of my friends are already married with kids. In DH's circle, very few are married or having kids. It will be interesting to see how that plays out. They've all expressed excitement for him. At least when I'm there lol

RobinettMomma · September 2014

Im 19 and DH is 22 this is my 2nd and his 3rd. We have gotten a lot of input for being so young telling us we have our whole lives ahead of us that we shouldve waited but i wouldn't trade my babies for the world. We are very mature for our ages and have accomplished quite a bit at our age. We are buying our own house and own our own vehicles, our kids are very well taken care of and dont lack for anything, we both graduated from high school and i have a Certificate of Nursing so for as much as we have accomplished and still are accomplishing i just shove peoples imput aside.

DH is 47 and I am 26. Big difference I know. This is the first marriage and first child for both of us. While being older will present challenges later, for now it means we get to get started and be very comfortable financially. Plus, he is so damn excited about this baby it is ridiculous (not that him being older matters as far as his excitement level).

Same here. I will be 26 and him 46 when LO arrives.

He never 'grew up' though so I'm honestly the more mature one, he still acts like a damn teenager. People think he's the same age as I am.

) I'm trying to look at cribs, he's begging me to let him buy a life sized Darth Vader mural for the nursery...

He was deemed sterile by many doctors, so we didn't expect to ever have a baby. He calls him "my miracle baby."

This is my first and his first actual infant. He helped raise his ex wife's girls, he's not their biological father but they consider him dad, but he has no experience with a baby. They are 18 and 16 now, I'm really not sure what they think about this whole baby scenario.

trizzie · September 2014

This is my 3rd, I am 37 and DH is 39. We had our first when I was 30 (about to turn 31) and he was 33.

Beevol · September 2014

I was 26 and DH 27 when we had our first and we never got any comments on our ages. That being said, I was the youngest person in my social circle to have a planned pregnancy. Most people I know don't have kids until they're in their 30s.
