SUBJECT:

Starting Over Again

I'm 40 yrs.old and starting over. I have 4 beautiful daughters, ages 18, 17, 15, & 11 and just found out 2 weeks ago that my sweet husband and I will be adding #5 to our family in Aug.
I am anxious about health issues/concerns for the
"older mom". Also, my 11 yr.old isn't taking this very well...she has suggested she would like to run away from all this. I am hoping this calms down with time. I am just not sure how much time to give her for acceptance to begin. I am surprised at her reaction as she has always wanted a younger sibling.
I just lost my dad 3 weeks ago and my oldest just made me a grandma for the first time, 3 weeks ago! December 2001 was definitely a roller coaster ride for my emotions. Any advice would be gratefully accepted! Eeyorexsix
