Hello All,

I am on the downhill slide towards 40 (3 yrs to go). I just had my first babe in August 2011. Best experience ever. I do agree with noahsmommy2011 that it is harder on the body as you get older. But the difference between being a mommy in your 30s versus earlier is worlds apart. I don't know about that from my own experience but rather from talking to all of my friends who had babies much earlier in life. Needless to say my hubby and I did all of the crazy stuff we wanted to while first married (for 5 years before DS came along) so we are in this parenthood thing 100%!

Hello ladies, I am 33 with my first and hoping to be pregnant with my second and last when 35. I turned 33 just 2 days before Noah was born. And I do have to say I think as you get older it is harder on you. There are days my poor body just aches, I feel as if i never stop. I get up around 5:30 and go till about 11 at night. Just wears me out and I think my age is some of it. But hoping to make a few friends on here and have some girl talk for a change...

We're about to start reading the best-selling thriller The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo over in the Book Moms group. Everyone's welcome to grab a copy and read along. The movie version with Daniel Craig comes out on December 19!

Hi everyone! I have 2 children of my own. Jordan Lee is 1 month old today & Zachary Louis is 10 years old. I was just recently married & my husband has 4 children from a previous marriage. In a short period I've gone from being a single mother of 1 to being married with a blended family & a new Mom again! All at age 36! It's been a lot of change but so far I feel pretty blessed! So begins a new chapter of my life!

Hello Ladies! My name is Aileen and I have an almost 1 year old. will be 1 October 9th. yay! we survived the whole year. so proud of me and my hubby and My parents who take care of him while we are at work. I love that they watch and love on him all day long. Truly the best babysitters. He is our first child and I had him at 32 but almost 33 as my b day is in November. It is difficult being a little older. Its not like my body is in its prime ya know? And not to mention my boy is 33 in long and about 27 pounds and not quite walking yet. lol. on my aching back! But I would not change it for the world. I have having so much fun with him. He sleeps so well and is happy and loves to play and loves to be cuddled and hugged on. And he also loves chicken. lol. he gets that from his daddy. Because of my bad back i'm just not sure about having any more.

Hi Misty! I agree with Katie and Shannan-- those are exactly what worked for us too!

For white noise, we just used a loud space heater in the winter and a fan or air conditioner unit in the summer. We always had something running right next to his bassinet though. In fact, at 15 months, we still do it (though he sleeps on his crib mattress next to our bed now!)

As Shannan said, it does get much, much easier. Those first few months may have been the hardest in my entire life. Keep that in mind (that it gets easier over time), and in the meantime, enjoy your precious little bundle-- they grow so very, very fast!!

The 5 s's (swaddle, side, shush, swing and suck) from "Happiest Baby" worked for us too.  We swaddled nightly for the first 3 months and our LO slept through the night almost from the beginning.  I do recommend the Swaddle Me sacks (?) from Summer Infant that velcro.  It's nearly impossible to keep a blanket swaddle on for more than a few minutes.  Also, playing white noise or the sound of waves is helpful.

 

It also is supposed to help if the basinette is in your room so LO can hear you breathing.

 

It does get better; hang in there :)
