My best friend just had a baby last year at 38-almost-39, and is thinking about having another at 40. And my parents had me when they were 43. Which is not to say that you should feel one way or the other about it, it's a very personal decision, but there's some useless anecdata for you.
Of course, my mom had to go and get cancer and die at 61, which was no fun, but that could happen to anybody. My brother went and got a brain tumor and didn't make it to 60, so you know, my family, what's their problem?
So I'm going to enjoy the hell out of this $9.00 beer I'm drinking! It really is FG.
the story of Jewish people--the WHOLE thing
Well ... one way or another, it's a way to deal with insomnia.
Crap. Olivia just came in and asked me if I could "tell her the story of Jewish people--the WHOLE thing" tonight at bedtime.
I knew being an atheist was going to bite me in the ass someday.
Em became an atheist (for now anyways) after she read the Bible. I've tried to avoid swaying her beliefs one way or another, but I'm sure some of it has rubbed off.
As a person about to be 39, I have 5 college friends with babies 1 year old or younger, and 2 who are currently pregnant. I mean, personally, I feel WAY too old to have a baby right now, but I suspect that is largely the fault of the two existing children (who are 8 and 5, and like youth-sucking vampires, although cute and clever).

I think the thing that makes the biggest difference as you get older is whether or not you already have kids. I'm completely done, but I noticed with Sara how different it was (as in harder), because I had the two boys to run around after.
I have a childhood friend in SF who is promising me cuties if I come up and visit him. SF--so many reasons to go, and yet I never seem to.
You need to change that. Bring Allyson with you too.
If I wasn't committed to raising an army of megalomaniacal poodles, I'd consider having a kid at 40. But the poodles require my service.
I don't really have a bucket list. I wouldn't mind doing some traveling. I've written a novel which was something I wanted to do. Suddenly I seem really dull.

You're raising kids! Which is important work, if not glamorous.
I wouldn't feel safe giving birth to a kid at 38
JZ was 38 when she had Matilda. EM was 39 when she had Emmett.
