Today...

[GreyhoundsRUs]

Tread lightly. Some of us have older children. Luanne is a grandmother, and a fabulous one at that, I'm sure! My son turns 15 this month. Yikes!

Oh, I know - I feel like my family trends towards to the middle/older end of things I was shocked when DH mentioned that he had great-grandparents until he was 8. I had no grandparents by the time I was 18. He still has 2 left. I have first cousins who range in age from 47-24, and second cousins who are 19-3!

Jen I have no grandparents alive on my side bec. they were older parents. My boys on DH's side however have three great grandparents alive and well! People mistake DH's father for his brother. I'm 32, my first cousins are in there late 50's!!

Today morning sickness is kicking my ass. Cannot even drink water. DH is bringing in the big guns (Zofran).

Oh most definitely, I was just taken aback trying to imagine myself as a grandmother because I'm still working on a kid and her kid already has a kid! My grandmother became a grandmother in her very early 40s and she totally rocks that gig. I still have a living great-grandmother, she's quite spry

I hope you find relief soon! Big hugs!

And I feel like worst mom ever because all I can do is lay around. I don't even want to leave the house.

One of my friends who had her first child at 42 was discussing AMA in her birthing class. She mentioned her age and the woman sitting next to her gasped "You're the same age as my mom!".

About a month ago we were at a hotel where a 50th year high school reunion was being held. We thought the participants were just adorable until we realized that both of our mothers were having their 50th HS reunions also. It goes by fast.

It's winter, you live in the Midwest - I haven't worn a bra in 2 days

I was the LAST of my HS friends to have kids and I was only 21 when I had DD1. Many of my HS peeps are grandparents. We haven't even had a 20th reunion.

I don't think I have any grandparents among my HS friends yet - I have one HS friend who had a baby when we were seniors, she graduated high school this year.

Lol! Me either and these girls are big. Yup, still in my pajamas at 6 pm.

I had many high school classmates who were grandparents before I had Dd#4. My mom had me at 18 yo.

[Vanquisher]

My 15-year-old has 5 great grandparents. One of his great grandmas is 75. My mom is 57. I'm 35. We all contributed. Including me. I was 20 when I had Ry. I had a hysterectomy at 30.

Today, K1 was an awesome big brother. (Disclaimer: This is totally gross but very sweet.) As I was putting the boys to bed, K2 got sick over the side of his crib. I pulled him out of bed, stripped him to his diaper, and began rushing around to clean up the mess which was all over his mattress and dripping down the side of the crib onto the carpet. K2 was inconsolably howling and trying to get back into the crib. I cannot blame him since I always thought the worse part of being sick was when my mom had to change my bedding and all I really wanted to do was lay down. Poor kid was so miserable and I just couldn't move quickly enough. K1 was getting in my way and I was getting frustrated because I didn't want the boys to get into the vomit. Then I noticed that K1 has gotten a towel and put it over the puddle that was dripping off the mattress; he was actually doing a better job of containing the mess than I was. And I hear K1 telling K2, "I'm sorry you threw up. I hope you feel better real fast." I praised K1 for comforting his brother and encouraged him to do more. So he ran off and brought back two toy harmonicas from the playroom. Not exactly what I had in mind but K2 thought it was hilarous and stipped crying to play a duet with his brother. Should have known that his big brother would know what to do.

Oh MrsK, that is so heartwarming! Hopefully K2 feels better soon.
