[@AshleyMBuffa]

Congratulations on your January blessing!! I've been so overwhelmed by how excited my younger children are about this new baby. I'm sure when grandbabies start coming, it will be the same, just so much happiness!

[@loricassata5259]

Congratulations!!! We have a lot in common😊 I was 44 when our last #11 was born, she just turned 18. When I was 5 months pregnant with her our oldest son got married. I laughed because trying to find a maternity dress for the mother of the groom wasn’t an easy task😂😂. We have 5 boys and 6 girls. Next summer our 18th grandbaby will arrive!!! Many blessing to you and your family!!!

[@AshleyMBuffa]

Yes, finding that mother of the groom dress will be an interesting adventure! :)

[@beckishoumaker5828]

Congratulations from Pensacola Florida. My mother had 2 boys and two girls. I was the youngest. Ten years younger than my sister. I have always said if I was able to have anymore children I would call her Waverly. I love that name. God bless you and your new blessing.

[@AshleyMBuffa]

I'm from a family with two boys and two girls as well, and both my brother and i have gone on to have boy-heavy families! It's all so interesting to me! Waverly is a LOVELY name!

[@pauaolson]

Congratulations! We had my last when I was 44. So there's 22 years between the oldest and the youngest. 4 boys 2 girls.

[@AshleyMBuffa]

That's wonderful!! Was your pregnancy at 44 harder than the others? I'm just noticing that I'm more tired, but other than that, this one has been fairly easy!

[@pauaolson]

Yes, I was much more tired, and my morning sickness was much worse. Thankfully yours is better! Labor and delivery were the same as the others. I never enjoyed the pregnancies, but love labor and delivery. We are praying for a wonderful pregnancy for you and the easiest delivery! 🙏

[@katieswitzer6264]

So exciting! We are boy-girl-boy-girl-boy. I just turned 38 so I feel "too old" and I love seeing all these comments from other moms in their 40s! Can't wait to hear about your journey!

[@AshleyMBuffa]

It is encouraging, isn't it!! 38 definitely isn't too old!

[@AshleyMBuffa]

"They say they're cheaper by the dozen." That's one of my favorite quotes from the book by Frank Bunker Gilbreth Jr. and Ernestine Gilbreth Carey

[@AshleyMBuffa]

Would you believe I haven't ever read that book?!? I need to prioritize that this pregnancy.

And I have the name Alina Faith but never had a baby girl to use it with. I also love Jubilee, Hope, Destiny, Sarai, shalom, and Selah.

this video came up in my recommended... how rare is it to conceive in your 50's? I'm worried about my egg quality at 40.

[@AshleyMBuffa]

I've not heard of anyone who has naturally conceived in her 50's, I have heard of several ladies who are 47. There are many resources online for improving egg quality in your 40's, if you're concerned, then I would recommend staring there!! :)
