Congratulations Catwoman, on your expected arrival!!

Reading your post made me reflect on something that happened to me as recent as Sunday at a friends baby shower. I was sitting around talking w/my aunt (she's 3 years older than I am) and my cousin (same age). They were questioning why my husband and I haven't started our family yet. My aunt has two girls and my cousin has one and is preg w/her 2nd. Anyway, they were telling me that I had better hurry up before I was 30, because that was too old to be having my 1st child and I would be tired and "worn-out" by the time he/she came along blah, blah, blah.

Now ladies, I know I'm not a teenie-bopper, but I don't consider 28 that old!! I've been married 2 1/2 years, so probably within the next year or so we will start to try. Although I didn't admit it, the things they were saying REALLY got to me after I had time to think about it. I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this from family/friends and how you dealt with it.


sorry for the long post
