"We’ll figure it out as we go."
I believe that’s a direct quote from my newly married, easy breezy, childless self, six years ago. “No big deal... Our kids will make a decision about religion when they come of age.”...
In the last couple of years I have been told a number of times that I am an amazing mother. Not by my kids, of course, but by others. The funny thing is I do not see myself doing anything...

When I found out I was pregnant, one of my oldest friends—and I mean that as longest, not old, so we don’t get confused—told me I was considered “Advanced Maternal Age.” She learned this herself when she got pregnant...
