Off The Fence: Pregnant At 40- Old New Mom Blog Post by Suzy
“When I started this blog, my goal was to be a source of hope about becoming a new mom after 35. I had been through a journey that is becoming more prevalent, but that still isn’t talked about very often, and I wanted to offer some insight. I know that having a baby when your peers are sending their kids off to college can be lonely, so I wanted to bring dialogue and community to all the old new moms out there. And, over the past few months, I have helped to build a community of hundreds of “old new moms” from across the globe and it has been so rewarding.
Well, it turns out that I will now get to write about being a new mom, and pregnancy, after FORTY.”
The People We’ll Never Meet- Old New Mom Blog Post by Suzy
“Our son’s name was inspired by a truly great man…a man who was an absolute gift to me both personally and professionally.
If only our son could meet him. Oh, how he would love him.”
