They fixed the headers!!!! They added years old!

;0) It's the little things in life. I switched boards because I wanted to connect with those with the similar concerns as me. With Advanced Maternal Age comes some unique pieces to our pregnancy than the usual stuff...All are welcome in my opinion but nice to think perhaps this board will have an increase for us older mommies. Live well!

Stats:
Mom age 39 Dad 44
Currently 31 weeks due Oct 8th
Baby girl-no name yet
4 siblings 25,21,21,13
San Antonio Texas
Parents elated!

Lol...this ain't like my first pregnancy!  I am not sure if ignorance was bliss back then or what and I am just far more in tune with my body, the symptoms, the pain, and the risks...but this has been less of a picnic and more of the kind of roller coaster I purposely have steered clear of for many years. Previously  content to watch the youngsters lose their minds on death defying hills...but here I am, luckily this is a two seat journey and my SO can be heard screaming his head off (like a little girl) in either in utter joy or holy terror,jury is still out, as this ride is ending and next leg of our crazy lives is set to take hold..lol...holding on for dear life and can't wait! ;0)

Yes, so grateful they fixed the app, but I do wish that every mommy would update so they know 35+ is age not weeks.
I am turning 37 on this coming Wednesday when I'm scheduled for a c-section. Hubs is 36, & we have 3 children, ages 18, 16, (boys)& just shy of 3(our princess). We are all anxiously awaiting the arrival of our little prince! :o)
