Patience

Hi.

I'm 36 and dh is 37. We have a 10 week baby boy through domestic open adoption.

The biggest positive factor we see again and again is our much higher level of patience than we had 10 years ago. Our knees may creak and we're ready for bed about the time the baby is, but we can tolerate the crying and we can laugh at many things that would have upset us years ago. I think our easy going approach makes the baby more relaxed and secure. I can honestly say I'm glad to be an "older" mom.
