Some women are just unable to become pregnant. It is not always they're fault. Have a little compassion.

Aww! Reminds me of my husband and his little empress ( not my words, his words) who has him completely wound in her little finger.

i don't know what's cuter - the baby or how obviously smitten Jimmy is with his little girl. Both of them are adorable. So many people take having children for granted and it's obvious this couple is thirlled and grateful.

Winnie is so cute, she looks like her mommy! Why are some of you people so grumpy, who cares how old Jimmy's wife is, or what their fertility issues are?

The fertility issues were his wife is 47! If they'd been trying for five years they started when she was 42. I was in full blown menopause at age 41 and a friend was at age 38. They didn't have infertility, they just had she's older and had no eggs left at the age of 42 when they started trying! All women are different, some has tons of eggs and can have a baby in their early 50's other like myself and friend were done early, you never know. If you're in your 30's and want a kid better freeze your eggs, otherwise it might be too late!

You are assuming a lot in your post Jay. How do you know her issues were because she was 42?!

right? lol at people calling this an infertility issue, she's too old! it's not even her baby anyway, she's just "raising" it (she's really passing the baby on to a nanny, i've seen the nanny walking with the baby several times)
