re: #52 Eclectic Cyborg

So a 44 year-old friend of mine and his 47 year-old wife are currently expecting another child (she’s about 4 months along).

Their second youngest is 16. They are not too happy about the new arrival but she does plan to carry to term.

As he put it to me: “We thought she was too old to get pregnant so we didn’t really take precautions.”

Oops.

My wife’s parents were in their 40s when she was born. Her brother is 20 years older than her, the same age as my parents. That child will be raised by grandparents.
