I think it will get less awkward when you have more Nicole. I can’t believe that person straight up asked if you were a teenager! Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. 🙂

Melissa, I loved this post 🙂 I just had my first (when you had your third), and I am a bit older (eek – sorry!) BUT I still look really young, and have been asked “is this… your child?”, or once “are you a teenager?”. I’m planning on having more kids, so hopefully once I have more, then there will be less weird looks, like you mentioned. Oh, and I wish I didn’t have stretch marks haha 🙁

In reply to Emily.

Thanks Emily! I know, I thought that when I was reading one of your blog posts last year. I realized when Gavin was starting kindergarten that you were right where I am going to be in five years. I’ll admit, turning 30 has become a benchmark in my mind as well for the same reason as you. I hope someday I won’t feel any self-consciousness about being a young mom. I loved the last part you wrote; I feel very lucky I could potentially celebrate a 70 year wedding anniversary or see my great-great grandchild someday. Thanks for the support!

xo,
Melissa

You have the cutest family! We are almost identical on kids and our ages! I had my first at 21, my third and last I was 25. I also had a girl and then two boys! I can agree to everything you said!I am 31 now and was actually really excited to hit 30 because I felt like I can now just blend in easier with other Moms, I am in my 30’s and so are they. We got married 10 years ago and that is always a fun conversation too because I have always looked younger than I am so people legitimately assume I was a bride in high school. We get to enjoy our husbands longer, enjoy our kids better, and they will be out of the house while we are still young! We got this!
