We had our two daughters in our 30s, and my wife had a couple of miscarriages between the pregnancies. I convinced her to have one more baby in our 40s, and we've had to give up a lot of family time. Having kids in my 30s was one of the best decisions of my life. After having our first child, Sophia, my wife and I struggled with two miscarriages before having another daughter, Leila. I understood the pressures that women were subjected to when it came to having a child in their 40s.
