I think it's really interesting that Meridth is having her first baby at age 30, when I had my LAST baby at 30. It just goes to show how the times have really changed. Back in the olden days many girls got married right out of high school, and started their families right away. No women are older and much more prepared for childbirth and rearing.
Meridth, we love you, and are so excited for this next phase of your life. You will be an awesome mother. You are so much more informed and prepared than I ever was! I like to think of what it was like for your family all those years ago when you were born, and how excited Megan was to get a little sister to play with. It must have been like having a new (live) doll.
Here's to the next thirty years (to quote country artist Tim McGraw), and we are glad we get to be a part of it with you. You Rock!
Love, Ed and Claudia
