Dreamer,

At the age of 40 and 41 respectively me and my husband had our fourth chile after a sixteen year break from having children. Our baby now 4 has been challenging, interesting and a lot of fun to have around. She is very different from my first three children now 26, 24 and 21, but I am a different person than I was then. In some ways she gets away with a lot more but I also think that I am trying harder to discipline her differently than I did the first three. Fortunately because of things changing I can afford to do things with her that we couldn't do with the others, like send her to a private school.
She has given us a new perspective and forced us to reassess our priorities. Not all the days have been perfect but I just try and remember that she is a wonderful gift from God and then I realize I wouldn't change things for anything in the world.
