i agree that age is just a number, as long as it's what you both want then go for it.

My df is 29 and said we can ttc in 3-5 yrs which is when we will both be ready for number 3 this will make him 32-35 not old i know.

As long as he is young at heart what difference does it make.

Yikes, you've put it in TTCing! lololol.

Honest folks we're not trying, I'm just feeling very broody and in love.  Kev and I are happy together and have talked about it a wee bit.

Thanks so much for the input.  As always you all are supportive and sweet.

That's so true, bopbop!

It's only now after I've divorced the 'Arse' that I realised my children's father wasn't mature nor ready enough to give up his nights out to be with his family.  He was 27 when our first came along and so was I.  I took to Motherhood slowly, but then as I got to grips with the new changes in my life I knew sacrifices had to be made.  Evidentally he was unwilling to change (or grow up) so we split.

Now I've found an older man who is ready for a family.  He is committed to me, which is always a start!  However, my children are still fairly young (3 and 2) and I live alone as well as work full-time so the very thought of falling pregnant now puts me off having sex...well, okay not really.  But what I'm trying to say, in my rambling way is that maybe in a few years I would love to have another baby.

Gosh, and I thought after having Tom who weigh a whooping 9lb 6oz that I would ever dream of giving birth again.  Funny, what meeting a new partner can do!

Thank you for letting me ramble.  Sometimes it helps me put things into perspective when I write them down.
