I was 44 when I conceived my one and only child, and 45 when he was born. It's not so unusual anymore. I am older than most of the other moms at preschool, and my DH is a lot older than most of the other dads (he's 58 now), but we enjoy our little guy so much. I wanted to be a mom my whole life and am grateful every day that we have him! He's my little miracle. I'll be 50 in August (Ack! How did that happen???), and my little guy will be starting kindergarten. He may have "older" parents, but he'll always know how much he was loved and wanted!

Bigdog's Momma was 43 when he was born. He's 57 now. Momma is still alive and well. You just never know what life's gonna dish out.

Same here Juju...hubby's mom was in her mid 50's when she became preggers with him...she once told me she thought she was going thru the change... She was 103 when she died...still lived independently (with periodic assistance) and was my best friend throughout my married life....

Whoa, your mother in law got pregnant in her 50's with no help!?? Wow! That gives me hope! We have been trying for 5 years to have another baby and are about to give up hope, but now I hear a 42 1/2 year old, a 43 year old and a 50-something year old have done it. WOW!

I was 44, Julieboo, and got pg without any medical assistance (the "old fashioned way"). We were blessed! Good luck to you and your hubby! If another baby is meant to be, you'll get one. Thanks for sharing that info about your MIL, Kep. I worry about the fact that when Baby Jack is 45, I'll be 90 (or dead!). My mom's mom lived to be 97, and my mom is almost 82 and still very active. Hope I got those genes!

Pregnant in her mid-50's??? Fifty years ago??? Dang! Now THAT is almost unheard of. I thought Kep must have made a typo and meant mid-40's.

*grins...nope...No one is exactly sure how old my mom in law was...the year is smudged in the old family bible...The guess is based on her brother and sister who were born before and after her. But she was older than 50 and younger than 56 when she had my hubby... She never really had a birth certificate, she was born to sharecroppers in the south...grew up working the fields most of her life...She was an amazing woman...I miss her I say she was 103 when she died 'cause that's what we all decided on for the death cert

I hope we get to hear more about what happens with these two. The last several episodes I ended up DVRing so I could fast forward just to their portions. I'd really love to find out if they give birth to a child of their own or choose one of their own from that orphanage in Africa -- or both!

I have been surprised by how little press they have gotten here in Houston. I really wish them well.

Wasn't talking about just there Texannie...We've got nothing here either...just the R/A hype... I'm hoping we will get to know something about U/J later... ...but then, U/J aren't really mediawhorish....

There is a small article in the new tv guide: RACE WINNER'S NEXT STOP:BABY Just minutes before the country watched Uchenna and Joyce Agu dash toward the winner's mat on The Amazing Race, Joyce told TV Guide that her doctor kindly offered to do a free round of in vitro fertilization for one last try at having a baby. "I was in tears when I heard," says the 44-year-old, who joined the show with her husband in hopes of winning enough money for the procedure. But if the IVF fails, the couple says they'll adopt. Perhaps from the Soweto orphage they visited during the race. "those children were so lovely," she says. The Houston sales-manager also revealed that she was once an actress (Star Trek:The Next Generation, Silk Stalkings). Why didn't she tell Race's producers? "I didn't want to be known as 'the actress' on the show," Joyce says. Let's hope she'll soon be known as Mom.

There was a big photo in In Touch magazine too, showing them jumping for joy. The text of the article said pretty much the same as Supergranny's article. They were sweet as ever. Kep... let it go, it's been two weeks!!! I'm beginning to worry about your blood pressure!
