A good hunk of y'all are sending them off and we're just getting started.

Stina, I wish you the best, but I fundamentally do not think that people should become parents at my, your and Graham's age. I hope you prove me wrong.

Dude, they're going to be FANTASTIC parents. I mean, look at some of the miscreants on this board who have successfully raised children. These guys will be top 1%.

That is not my issue. It is the odds that older parents will die on the children early.

Well, it's a little late to get this kind of feedback.

You are right about the odds, of course. But as I have recently become painfully aware, regardless of when you have a child or children, betting on any odds regarding your own longevity can have disappointing results.

Maybe they'll ask you to be a God Parent to cover that possibility?

Eh, maybe.

Neither one of us is in ill health at all. We've been tested out the wazoo for pretty much everything in order to do this, including a shit ton of psych stuff. We're both vaxxed (me triply so). The cardiologist was actually HAPPY if perplexed to see me ("we don't get totally normal hearts very often") and gave me a 0.05% chance of having a cardio event in the next ten years. G's dad was his age when his youngest sister was born and is still going strong. My family tends to live to the 90s plus, with one great aunt about to hit 104 next month. His is similarly long aged. We both work out, keep an eye on what we eat. Hell, he's a fitness professional. We have access to pretty much any and every health resource on the planet, and we take advantage. One of the psych people told us older parents tend to do better, because they have their shit together at this point, financially and general life wise.

We could get hit by a truck next week. Or die of breakthrough Covid. Or develop cancer (though it's not in either family at any great rate). Or get bitten by a snake. Or a gagillion things that could kill us. We have no intention of orphaning this kid, but I don't think anyone does.

I figured you'd more object to putting another being into this world, which is admittedly a fucked up place.

The snake thing. That’s what would worry me. But I live where there are no deadly snakes. My advice to you guys is get out of Texas.

Me neither. Then I saw a picture my wife took of a fucking baby copperhead on the path where I run.

So who can recommend good folding treadmill brands for a decent price?
