My husband and I have recently discussed having another baby...we have a son who is one, and my husband's daughter (12) from his previous marriage stays with us half the week. My husband loves kids and would love another one, but his issue is his age, he is 47 (although he's very youthful ). I am 28 (there's a 19 year difference between us). He sometimes jokes and says that he could already be our son's grandpa (my mum is only 1 year older than him). Would he really be too old to have another baby?
I feel happy with our family as it is as we are comfortable financially, our son has been a great baby this far and my husband's daughter has been a brilliant big sister and help to us.
It does feel like it's either now or never though. I like the idea of having another baby and I don't want to regret not having another child later in life. But I don't want to make a life changing decision like this just so I don't have regrets later in life...
Does anyone have any advice/experience/thoughts on this?
