Well I'm going to keep fighting the odds every way I can! :) My mom had me in her 30's too. The only negative was her age contributed to her inability to have more children without risk to her life, hence I'm an only child. But being raised that way left me very open to the idea of having kids in my thirties, so if it happens it will happen then. I wouldn't want to go later than that though. I always think back to that joke by Bill Cosby: "By the time that child leaves home we will be ready to go to one!"

I'm glad being a parent brings you such happiness. It certainly shows in the way you speak about your child. Frankly I'd feel better about the whole thing if more parents showed as much joy as you do. As Ghandi might say, the reason I don't become a parent is because I have known too many parents.
