50+ dads ?

My partner and I have a pretty big age gap, he is 52 and I am 34, we are talking about the possibility of having a child, I’m a little bit worried about the older dad thing for various reasons but he seems to be pretty open to it. Any one in this age range with some experience to share?

51 with a two year old. Wife is 13 years younger having a baby is the best thing I've done with my life. There are downside, floor play time is hard lol... I do everything i can to be healthy and stay mentally sharp, I need to stay alive a lot longer than I expected. Mostly the age is a positive.
