I think this is just a piece of the puzzle every parent has to fit together (and that is often overruled by God anyway!)-- it's just a piece many Americans never even consider. What a blessing to have a husband and precious little ones, no matter when they come or how often! I'm sure glad Gabe found you!!

We didn't have the luxury of youth (i.e. marrying young) for extended spacing when we started our family. We were in our 30s when God finally brought us to each other, and I will be of "advanced maternal age" when our second one is born, Lord-willing. Our two will be 2 years and 3 months apart, and from the risk statistics that we learned and that I am already experiencing (with one miscarriage and now an ultrasound result that has some warning signs for our little unborn girl), I wasn't comfortable with waiting any longer. Perhaps those problems are due to the lack of proper spacing, and perhaps age. Either way, being older parents carries its wear and tear both physically and emotionally.teamforesthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02453236565857164393noreply@blogger.com
