Same here. Two boys, our second born with Duchenne muscular dystrophy. But we waited quite a while (13 years) before having kids so that we could enjoy ourselves first, ha! I realize that I'll be in my 60s by the time my youngest graduates from high school, but as a special-needs child, he may be living with us until we die, anyway (unless some pretty dramatic advances are made in Duchenne research, which is very possible). And yes, we wouldn't change that now either.
