I would love to come to one of the meetings! Where can I get more info?
So, I live in North Mesa and my husband and I have been married since Oct 2008. We just bought our first home last January and since then have adopted a cat and recently got a new puppy as well (who is adorable but driving me CRAZY)! He is an accountant and just got accepted to grad school at ASU and I work for a clinical research company in business development. I initially came to this website for advice because I have baby-fever in the worst way. My husband just dosent think it is the right time since he is starting school again in August and we are just getting into our careers. He just wants to wait till our 3rd anniversary before we "pull the goalie" and start trying. I dont know if I can wait that long but I dont want to force him if he is not ready. Any advice?
HI there, here is the link to the meet up group and also how to put a picture in your siggy
http://www.meetup.com/aznesties/
you have to upload a photo to a website like photobucket or even kodak and copy the image code and paste it into your siggy! I used photobucket for mine but any type of photo sharing webiste should work.
I hope this helps.
I have been in the opposite situation for a while. Michael has been wanting a baby since forever and I want one badly too but I like to plan everything and wait for the "perfect" time. I asked my coworkers about it once (because they have been married longer and have more experience) and they said if we really wanted a baby and ?could afford it to just go for it. According to them the "perfect" time might never come hehe.
Maybe you and your husband can reach a happy medium. What about waiting until he starts school and seeing how it will affect you economically and romantically. Then you can decide. Grad school for me was soooo stressful that I?definitely?couldn't have handle a baby during that time but it might work for you guys .
Good Luck and welcome to the board!?
Thanks for responding! Your input is very helpful. Good idea on just waiting to see how grad school affects him and then rediscussing the baby timing issue. I guess I can wait but 2 more years just seems like an eternity when you want to start a family! I dont want to put him through any additional stress if grad school is really going to be difficult for him. I also think that my DH worries that he will be the first amongst his friends to have a baby and that will change his relationship with them. We just do not really know alot of couples with babies so we have no idea how it will realistically change things.
Hi LOVER! You didnt tell me you decided to post on here! Sneeeaaky!
Just wanted to say that Nicole and her husband are AMAZING. Her husband is the best man in my upcoming wedding and she is a bridesmaid: ) They are wonderful!!!

You are too funny! I totally forgot to tell you! I also joined the meetup group so we can all go out and meet new couples to add to the usual 4 of us (old married folk) lol
I have known Liz for 5 years (wow, already??) and can't wait for her wedding!! You and Brian are like the only other couple we know that has been together nearly as long as Scott and I have
