His mom had a "surprise" baby at 48
Dr. Death
had me in tears for days because he insisted at 43 years old, I'd missed the boat
by at least a couple years.
WITHOUT EVEN MEETING ME IN PERSON OR EXAMINING ME...
Yet even he confessed his own mother had a surprise
baby at 48 years old.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
At my recent miscarriage follow-up, my OB [obstetrical] nurse practitioner was very positive about my TTC [trying to conceive] again.
When I mentioned I wish I was a bit younger, she said she has two current patients who are 44 and 45 years old, both with healthy pregnancies.

TODAY'S BOOK SUGGESTION:
Girl Walks into a Bar . . .: Comedy Calamities, Dating Disasters, and a Midlife Miracleby Rachel Dratch
-- Her career at a low point, Rachel Dratch suddenly had time for yoga, dog-sitting, learning Spanish - and dating. After all, what did a forty-something single woman living in New York have to lose?
Resigned to childlessness but still hoping for romance, Dratch was out for drinks with a friend when she met John.
Handsome and funny, after only six months of dating long-distance, he became the inadvertent father of her wholly unplanned, undreamed-of child, and moved to New York to be a dad.
With riotous humor, Dratch recounts breaking the news to her bewildered parents, the awe of her single friends, and the awkwardness of a baby-care class where the instructor kept tossing out the f-word.
Filled with great behind-the-scenes anecdotes from Dratch's time on SNL, Girl Walks into a Bar is a refreshing version of the
happily ever afterstory that proves female comics - like best sellers Tina Fey and Chelsea Handler - are truly having their moment.
