I gave birth at 44 years old also to my 5th child David. I had 4 children from a previous marriage and was single and content for five years. Then married again in 2000 to an older man, with two older children. The doctor called our little son together a "miracle baby". Came right down from God. Truly he is the glue that has stuck our family together. I like "Antique Mommy". I may say that the next time someone asks if we are his grandparents!! Blessings To You Always :) Wow – I read your story and just love it.

I'm 30 and want very much to have a child. My husband and I have been trying for less than a year, but it feels like it's been so much longer than that, and it doesn't help that I have other symptoms that make me fear infertility ... your story gives me hope.

I was an infertility patient at the ripe old age of 28....COULD NOT comprehend how I could be infertile and not yet be 30. Today I have a 3 and 4 year old through the miracle of fertility treatments. I may not be quite as "antique", but your stories certainly ring true for me! Thanks for sharing! I found your website through a RT on Twitter.

What a wonderful story. I'm sure you will be happy, whatever God has in store. 8/01/2005 9:11 PM Hannah's Mommy said... I have lot's of Antique Mommy moments. I am 41 and have a three year old daughter, obviously, Hannah is her name. I came across the criss cross, applesauce saying for the first time a couple of months ago. Imagine having to learn this new hip phrase from a 3 year old. My daughter is always a genetic scary duplicate of myself. When I was 4, I could be found cleaning nasty, public bathrooms. My daughter does the same thing. She also makes up words, and pretends to be sick to get out of school, just like me! As an adopted child, it just amazes me to have a genetic copy of myself. She may have looked like my husband when she was born, but she has definitely turned into a mini-me! 1/24/2006 3:36 PM scarbie doll said... THAT is an amazing story. A friend of mine, who has suffered many miscarriages, once said, "You can't force a baby who wasn't meant to be into the world, and you can't keep a baby who WAS meant to be out of it." I think it's fabulous that we can experience motherhood at any age. My cousin's wife had two boys in her 40s (was her second marriage) after much difficulty and fertility stuff. And you know what? It was totally fucking worth it. They are now 12 and 10 and mean the world to me. Glad you came across my blog. 3/19/2006 2:21 PM Veronica Mitchell said... What a blessing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful story. 4/01/2006 3:32 PM PAgirly said... it's interesting how you do not even personally know a person but you feel close to them by a story they share with you. YOU are truly blessed and were meant to be a mommy after all you went through. God has mysterious ways of working, doesn't he? 4/02/2006 12:00 PM MikeysJack said... This story touched my heart. My mother was also widowed at 36. I was 14, and I have two siblings, so Mama already had children, obviously...but anything that close to home just gets to me. My sister, who is only 2.5 years older than I, had trouble getting pregnant with her first child, her son. She had had endomitriosis (sp?), but a doctor from our hometown cured that problem without doing too much damage. My sister promptly went on fertility drugs and conceived my handsome little nephew. That's not where it ends....three months after Alex's birth, my sister was already on birth control. I commented to my brother-in-law that I hoped they could have another child someday to be a companion/playmate for Alex. The very next week, my sister called me and told me she was pregnant again!!!!! One year and two weeks (to the day) after Alex was born, my sister gave birth to her daughter, Juli. When she called with news of the pregnancy, I told her to tell her husband that I hadn't meant RIGHT THEN!!!!! Thank you for sharing! Love, Jack 4/13/2006 10:02 PM Diana said... "one in a million chance..." Beautiful story, hope you tell Sean that he's a one in a million baby. Congrats on overcoming statistics. 4/14/2006 12:59 PM Faith said... What a great story! Love it. I am also an antique mommy. We had 4 children in 5 years when we were young - now we are in our forties and just started over. We adopted our son 14 months ago (at birth). It is different now - but, I love it!! Congrats to you!!! 4/16/2006 10:14 PM kelly jeanie said... This is an incredible story. Awesome. Seriously, wow. It doesn't matter how old you are, infertility rips your heart out...and makes the parenting that much sweeter. I can relate. Oh, and my husband is 32 and has been wearing bifocals since his 20's. For what it's worth. :) 5/09/2006 11:12 AM Chris said... What a fabulous story. Happy Mother's Day to you. 5/15/2006 10:25 AM Jennifer said... I just love your site. I have one daughter age 4 and I am 36. I thought the natural progression when she was 2 was to go off the pill and get pregnant. 3 years later we still have no new baby and I am having to learn to accept it. I know thaty God has a plan, just sometimes I wish he would let us in on it! Ha!

Regardless, I'm 44 now, my 26-month old daughter is the light of my life, and my ex-husband and I get along better now than we ever did in marriage.

I turned fifty the day after he was born! We had Locke, our son, with a surrogate mother and it couldn't have been a more beautiful experience. We had tried for 14 years and had 5 miscarriages to prove it but I just couldn't give up and am so glad I had the perserverence and guts to carry on until we had a baby. I love being an antique mother (until I finish sizing up the ages of all the younger mothers after a trip to Target!) and even on those days, I take one look at Locke and my worries melt away with his captivating smile and sparkling eyes. On the trip home from the hospital, as I was leaving a friend a voicemail announcing his birth and I found myself saying, "since his birth, the miscarriages suddenly somehow made sense because Locke was the baby we were suppose to have all along." I encourage those that still have hope, to allow yourself to follow your dreams. I never gave up and my dreams have come true and then some!
