Alyson! I just wanted to say it's so nice seeing you on this board more and more often. 
I missed you when you were still a wild and free single lady and only on TK.
BUT, be very careful! Don't drink the water over here. Thars behbbehs swimmin in da watr!
Re: **kaesha**
It's good to be here! I really missed you too over on TK!!
No worry about the water drinking. I'm nowhere NEAR ready for the baby wagon to arrive. Shudder. Wild and free married days for me!

Well, I'm glad it's not just me! Seems like the un-PG are in the minority these days...really, I'm just jealous. I want to be, but our current circumstances are not exactly procreating-friendly.
Eh, I'm going to admit, I'm not jealous at all - but I'm sorry you are! With all the baby insanity here, I can see how that would be bumming.
We're just not in that place yet, and I need at least one more summer of freedom to hit the lake kayaking. Most studies say that women are happiest with their lives before they have kids and after the kids leave home - so, I say kick back and enjoy while you can! You'll be stuck with them for the rest of your life (and at least 18 years in your house) - is it terrible for me to say that I'm just not ready to commit to another person like that yet? Plus, kids are my job - I can't even imagine coming home and continuing the job there too.

I know, I know you're SO right. I should really just enjoy having my freedom now while I still do. It's not just the board though, all of our friends seem to be having babies right now (even my current next door neighbors brought home a LO last week).
I think the hard part for me is I feel a lot of pressure because of my mom's age (she was 46 when she had me, and I'm 30, you do the math). Even though she's in good health now (knock on wood), she ain't getting any younger, and she was a smoker for almost 60 years (she quit at 74!!), and it's important to me that she be around to know my kids, and for my kids to be old enough to have memories of her. All four of my grandparents died before I was born and I always really missed having a grandparent, so it's something I really think about. So I feel some time pressure there sometimes.
But no, it's not at ALL terrible that you are not ready to commit to another person like that. In fact, I think it's good that you are not willing to have kids until you are. If more people did that I think the world would be a happier place.
