So I have a niece and nephew who are older than my littlest sister, but they are all born in the same year. We called the the "triplets" growing up. </p> <p>And believe it or not, we're not really white trash. haha. The triplets are now all 26!</p> <p>edited to say: both of my parents had an abnormal amount of energy. They both worked full time jobs, owned a largish business on the side that employed 8-10 people, raised the 6 of us, and cooked dinner from scratch every night of the week. AND they had hobbies, like playing tennis and golf. I honestly don't know how they did it, now that I'm an adult. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-couples-who-had-surprise-babies-later-in-life#post-520096 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 18:07:57 +0000 Mrs. J 520096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My neighbors growing up!

Not a huge spread, but he was devastated when he found out they were expecting another one, and wasn't shy about saying so. He kept saying how he was too old to have another one (he's 42) and he was finally at a point as a parent, where things were getting easier, and then they had to start all over. But, once his daughter arrived, he's been absolutely in love with her. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-know-any-couples-who-had-surprise-babies-later-in-life#post-519951 Tue, 22 Jan 2013 16:30:51 +0000 sunshineandsushi 519951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My dad and stepmom had an oops baby.
