I had my first at 41, second at 43. Those where my &#x27;mid life crises&#x27; babies, best thing ever (I made PEOPLE!). My wife just turned 40. We met 5 years ago. We were both older, and wanted children. Conceiving was a bit of a challenge, we had to work at it. Plus neither of us had children before, so neither of us knew if we were even able.  Worked out for us in the end, we were very fortunate.
