I'm 38 weeks and have all of mine picked out. I made the mistake of asking two of the four that I want...completely regret asking them. My advice to anyone is to wait and be sure that those are the people you want!

With my first child I chose my cousins Leah and Eric, they are both my age, my cousin Eric killed himself this summer which lead to my cousin Leah losing all faith in God and now claims God doesn't exist, but whatever. This time we chose my sister (13) andhubby's brother (18) and i'm hoping they would range the liberty of not only encouraging faith for my son, bit for my daughter as well :-)

Dont be worried about anything I became god mum at 16 and was the youngest god parent as there was four of us and the others was older than the parents one was around 40 if I remember rightly. If anything its good to have the older and younger generations together :)
