005. After over a decade of parenting an only child, Kelli found herself entering a brand-new season of life just as her daughter was becoming a teenager. At age 44, she had long since closed the chapter on diapers and strollers, embracing the independence that comes with raising a thirteen-year-old. However, a shocking discovery changed everything, revealing a natural pregnancy that would bridge a massive thirteen-year age gap and return her to the world of newborns in her mid-forties.
This episode explores the emotional and practical transition of starting over when you thought your family was complete. Kelli opens up about the unique experience of parenting a teenager and an infant simultaneously, the initial shock of a natural conception at 44, and how she navigated the shift in her identity and daily life. Her story is an inspiring look at the "bonus baby" journey and the joy found in a second chance at motherhood when you least expect it.
