11. mine was great! no morning sickness, swollen feet, blood sugar issues or high risk things

Easy labor and delivery too. I was worried I would have morning sickness because my mom had after every meal sickness. As far as labor and delivery went I think it helped that I had a kidney stone 2 years before my daughter was born.

Thoughts: that I was 36 and I would probably not have another baby; that I was at a higher risk for a Down's Syndrome baby; that I was really anticipating breast feeding the baby; that I was having a girl both because it is what I wanted and because I kept dreaming I had a daughter;

Both my sisters and I were pregnant at the same time, so our mom got 3 new grandchildren within 5 months. One of my sisters had a daughter who was 8 years older than the other 3. It was really neat, all 3 of us having babies together.

Three of our cousins had babies that same year, one born the same day as my daughter. The great grandmothers were ecstatic.
