35 and pregnant again after 11 yrs! eeeek

So here I am 35.. newly married and just found out I am expecting a little one. Never in a million years would I thought I'd be having another. My oldest is 17, graduating this year, and my youngest is 11.. this is seriously starting all over and scares me to death. My husband is so excited as this will be our first child together but I'm over here like.. omg I am gna be starting all over again. There's a huge part of me excited and the other scared beyond explanation. My kids are older.. cook for themselves even.. do their own laundry. .so very grown up and self sufficient. I just hope I can be as good as a mother to this one that I was to my two sons.

  • That's so exciting!! 

    Dood!! Built in babysitters!!! You're still young!! There are a lot of women at your age that are having their first. 

    Starting over is scary, but it's just a new adventure!!!

    Congrats and welcome!

    Babysitters was exactly my thought, too, lol.
    If you've done it twice already, you can do it again!

    Edit: missing word
  • Congratulations! Trust me, it will be so much fun! No reason to be scared, there are MANY women starting to have babies at 35 and after. You're still young! And, as the others said, you get to have free babysitters! Your kids will love their little sibling <3

  • Sounds like my family! My oldest sibling was 18 and going off to college, my other sibling in high school, and I was 11 when my youngest sibling was born... brought a new life to the family! (And YES I WAS THE BUILT IN BABYSITTER). Enjoy! Congrats!!

  • Congrats! I can understand the whole starting over thing. My youngest is only 2 and I'm scared about the whole baby stage again(even though it's my favorite) and like everyone else said, you'll have free babysitters!
