Having kids after 40? (1 Viewer)

Curious if any of you guys have any experience with this.  My wife and I have a 7 year old (I have a 16 and 13 year old from 1st marriage) I am 42 and my wife is 33. I thought we were done with kids, but the wife has been hinting she would love another and my 7 year old wants desperately to be a big sister. Should I entertain this given my age or let her know that ship sailed? If it matters we are ok financially and are both in good heath. Thanks

Didn't read the whole thread but there's a growing amount of evidence that birth defects are largely due to the age of the father.  I'd factor that into my decision.
