My girlfrirnd was born into a family of 8 kids…3 sets of twins! She was a twin, one singular gitl, 2 sets of boy twins, and then 1 singular boy. Her mom was also 42 at the time of last child and my girlfriend was 17. She felt like she was his mom.

At 46, being in awe is very appropriate, I'd say, Jeri.

See my comment above, and let me know how old your mother lived to be, or if she is still alive? I've known one woman in my own age bracket who had a child at that age without medical help.

My Mom was 40 when my sister was born (36 with me) and died at 82 in spite of being a lifetime smoker.
