I had my first kid at 25. My last at 32. I am happy that my kids will be out of the house by the time I'm 50 and still have life left in me.

If I managed to start now, I'd be lucky to get the kids out of the house by my 65th birthday. Part of me kind of wants to try (though that would mean leaving the house and meeting people) and part of me is content with the kitties and my network of friends. But really, I do envy the adventure GD and CP are going on. Hey, we all get to experience it vicariously

Good luck. My mom had all three of her kids before she was 20. She's 52 now and I don't think she's yet gone more than a few months without a kid or lower generation kid in the house (I can proudly say that I've never been one of them since I left for college).

CP & GD, you may want to take a look at today's woot.

I was 17, 19, 21 and 27 when my children were born-be around 45 when they are done "cooking"-

-and I did not circumcise- and none of them has complained. But that is a personal decision.

Intriguing, that's definitely a deal. There aren't many reviews online for this one, and one of them says that the sound only turns on if it hears louder noises (and that mom says she's "vigilant"). Not being that vigilant myself I'm still considering it but I wish there were more reviews.

I now take this vow, that whatever new baby gadgets we get we review online, even though I've never been much of a reviewer. Vow locked in!

A vow you're destined to break almost immediately. You think you'll have time when the baby sleeps.

She didn't say she'd review them in a timely manner. Eventually that kid is moving out. Similarly, I figure I still have time to send thank you cards for gifts received at my first wedding.

I just had a regular baby monitor. The video monitors had just come out and were outrageoulsy expensive. The regular one worked just fine. I mostly used it when he was taking a nap, or in his playpen for quiet time. When he started walking (at 9 months), I used it to listen to see if he was making an escape from his crib.

We never used our monitor. Tori was plenty loud enough to hear.

I do understand that they might be useful in the event of an alien invasion, though.
