My DH is 59 and I'm 44...so 15 years difference. We've been married for 18 years, and let me tell you, there were some raised eyebrows when I got pregnant at 42!

When DD was born, DH said that he felt a huge rush of new life inside himself. Maybe we are older parents, but it doesn't appear to slow DD down.

Oh whoops...I should have posted to the new thread!

I'm 35 and my DH is 48. This is the first child for both of us. We were both previously married and we were both widowed in 2005. We met through an online message board for young widows and widowers. Kurt and Suzy had tried for several years to get pregnant and nothing ever happened, so Kurt had assumed the problem was on his end. Apparently not! So, we're extremely excited and a little scared and probably still a little in shock!

I just wanted to add that not all younger husbands are immature and irresponsible. My husband is 28 and we both share the housework and everything else - including the responsibility of our child. He has never tried to "hide" from these things. He has always done his share and we've been married for nearly 5 yrs.

And no, I'm not offended.
