My son was 6 years old when we adopted our beautiful baby girl. I had just turned 38 & dh 39. What a big difference between being 32 & 33. LOL!
Pros of being an older mom:
I have way more patience with my daughter than I did with my son years before.
I am a seasoned mom- having a second is a breeze
compared to being a first time mommy.
I am able to enjoy her so much more since I am not so neurotic about her every move. LOL!
My husband & I are more financially stable. We also own a home now.
Did I mention patience?
Oh and I have my son who helps me out a great deal. He will fetch a diaper for me, or pick her up when she is heading in the wrong direction etc etc.
CONS:
Where did all my energy go?
YAWN! Poor hubby...baby goes to sleep by 6:30/7pm, son goes to sleep by 8:00pm and I am OUT like a light by 8:30 or 9pm. YAWN!
My poor knees and lower back!
Hey- I wouldn't want it any other way! I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!
