'Cuz I'm here to tell ya, 46 is definitely NOT 'too old'. . .<br /><br /><b>Flutter</b> - Really! I mean, she was just tryin' to get a mammogram, y'know? And they hafta go and raise the whole 'you-might-be-pregnant' thing. . .<br /><br />Thanks for your kind words about our family. It doesn't always seem so 'vital and lovely' from the inside. . .<br /><br />But, when we can step back and take a 'semi-objective' look, we do know how blessed we are. . .<br /><br /><b>Sailor</b> - Well, by the time you've had the 'Guess what!? We're pregnant!' moment eight times (and only one or two of them were we actually in 'trying-to-get-pregnant' mode), you learn to take it more-or-less in stride.<br /><br />But I'll admit, the notion of having a high-school kid in my 70s does sorta warp my brain a little. . .<br /><br /><b>Truey</b> - But of course. I happened to be in two different bookstores on Wednesday (09/09/09), and the piped-in sound was 'all Beatles, all the time'. I hope Heaven is like that. . . ;)<br /><br />And listen - who says we're even beginning to keep up with 'em?Desmond Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07829959101276150279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3654204667900390232.post-9367131925296327612009-09-11T12:11:18.110-04:002009-09-11T12:11:18.110-04:00As expected I immediately thought "La, la, ho...As expected I immediately thought "La, la, how the life goes on. . ." when I read the title, and knowing your affinity for the Beatles I imagine that was your inspiration.<br /><br />Thanks for the updates on the kiddos.

They just say, "any chance you could be pregnant?" and move on.<br /><br />And boy, I'm 46 and never really think of myself as "not fertile" any longer. No signs of any change here. Maybe I'll just keep my head in the sand!Bijouxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11577723506036164914noreply@blogger.com
