Aww..I know what you mean!!...but for me its my BOYFRIEND who wants the baby..LOL..We talk about it a lot, and we were shopping a few weeks back and he bought a crib set!!! ( It was half price, and the last one they had )

We took the first step and bought a house, but I told him before we have a baby, I want to do it right and get married first ( so maybe he will FINALLY ask me to Marry him..LOL )

Then he was joking around and saying on our honeymoon we will make a baby then..LOL

You could always end up with a kid like my brother, who screamed his head off from the time he was born until after he turned two. If he wasn't being rocked or fed, he was shrieking at the top of his lungs. You couldn't lay him down in his crib because he would wake up and take forever to get back to sleep.

Or could have one like me, who was/is entirely too independent for her own good. I needed a leash (didn't have one but it probably would have helped) as soon as I learned to walk and my parents had to take everything I said I would do as truth, because I would go off and either do it or attempt to. I was crossing streets and stuff by the time I was 3, because I told my parents I was going somewhere and by golly, that's what I was going to do!

I am in the same boat. Although, I am married, have a house and a good income. We don't have much in savings, and that is hubby's reasoning for not having a baby now. He completely shuts down when we talk about it. I know that he WANTS kids, he just doesn't want them now. We've been married two years and together for 7 years.

It is also REALLy hard to work in infertility and see all of the pregnancies and the excitement going along with it, and not want to get pregnant. It also has made me want to start trying earlier. The only thing holding me back is the cost of childcare and also not having any family close. I don't want my children to grow up only seeing their grandparents every month or so. I had FANTASTIC grandparents, and I don't want to cheat my kids out of that. Plus, since my brother and sister live near home, their kids will end up getting more of the "family" time that my kids won't. I would love to move closer to home, but both hubby and I are limited due to our careers. I am pretty obsessed with babies right now though!!

I always thought I should wait until marriage before I had a baby and thats what I did. Now we have been married 3 yrs and still no baby. Yes, we have been trying but just found out that my tubes are blocked:mad:! Now we have to go the invitro route.
Know I kinda wish I would have started sooner because I would have found out this problem sooner and wouldn't be still "trying" at 32!

I would seriously wait. You will be thanking yourself down the road.

Baby poo, pee, sour spit up, and being up at all hours of the night is just the start of it.

You lose your freedom, and thats what I miss the most. No more going out or leaving the house whenever you want. No more romantic nights out with the fiance unless you have a baby sitter that you trust. Spontaneity gets thrown right out the door. You have to schedule everything.

It takes hours just to get the baby ready to leave the house. You have to change the diaper, feed her (which can take 30 min), burp her, get her in the car seat, get the stroller in the trunk, find her a paci (just in case), find burp cloths, get the baby bag. When you finally get him/her in the car and ready... Ooops... poopy! Back to the house to change the diaper again! And hopefully she didn't have a blow out and got poo all over her and the car seat (happened to me more than once). By this time she might even be hungry... AGAIN.

Having a baby is not easy. Having a newborn is a huge challenge... especially if your fiance has to work or go to school and you are by yourself. When he gets his paycheck... a good chunk goes straight to the baby!

So I say wait it out. Time goes FAST and you will be settled before you know it!

But I was and still am a good teen. I went through the reballion stage but i knew my limits. My parents say I have a mouth, which I agree. But I was a good baby, toddlers, child, and teen. So I'm a good person all round. LOL.

They scream
They yell
They get into everything
They throw tantrums for no reason
They bite
They spit in your face
The pull hair (including the dogs)
They're noisy
They're smelly
(and if you have a boy the noisy and smelly bits never go away)
and they puke all over you
They're expensive
And they make your boobs sag... and omg, think about the varicose veins!! O.O
and then... They grow up, and they're a pain in the butt. They tell you they hate you, you're the worst mommy EVER, why can't I go live with Daddy? You'er stupid, you're this and that and the other, then they sleep on your couch until they're 45 and expect you to wash their underwear and heat up their soup.

I'm helping to raise my two year old brother. My legs will be firmly crossed for ever, I think.

But I do love him. :) lol

Oh NO BC, I hadn't considered the sagging boobs...

(like how of all the things you said, I really was only bothered by sagging boobs? I'm very fond of my boobs the way they are thankyouverymuch.)

I may have found something sobering enough to make me wait a few years longer! WOOHOO! lol
