So i went to bed around 11 last night and I just got out of bed, at nearly 10. I have been exhausted this week and I really needed that. Of course, I am working overnight tonight, so I will be sorry I slept so long when I am still up till 8 am tomorrow.?

?I am going to drop kick one or both of my cats across this apartment today. They are all sorts of wound up. I don't understand how a cat that weighs 7 lbs can move a chair that weighs 50 lbs.?

$$ confession - Since moving to the store in Rochester, I have gotten?4 raises, overall a $1 increase. It is still less than I made working as a teller when I was in college. That's sort of depressing.?

I confess i'm scared to death: DH told me last night he wants to have a baby. like now. He says, "Why don't you stop taking your birth control and we'll just see what happens." I asked him 10 times if he was serious. He kept saying he was, and he seemed really serious.

I talked to my friend about it, and she said that he might just be feeling worried because of the unknown testicle mass. Maybe? I'm not sure. Sometimes he mentions wanting kids. But he has never told me I should stop my birth control. I was almost in tears. I am seriously scared to death. I have body issues. I think that is mostly my fear. I am terrified of getting fat. Selfish? Yes. but its really a big fear of mine. Chris always says, you are not going to be fat, look at your mom & your sister, neither one of them are fat and they've each had two kids. My moms sister is very slim, and everyone on my dads side is on the thin side. Are those kinds of things hereditary?

I feel guilty because I know he wants kids. I want kids, but not right now. I hate where we live. Its to small. We are broke, there is no way we could afford a kid right now- which i know if we wait till we can "afford" a kid it could never happen. but still. I would be much more comfortable having a baby after i'm finished with school, and after we move.---- DH says i'm doing school all online now soi can't use that as an excuse any more!

Heartburn.....frig! I have it now about 24 hours a day, no matter what I eat and am waking up in the middle of the night, every night now, to drink Maalox. I seriously feel like there are times when I open my mouth to speak that flames will erupt from my throat. Yes, the discomfort will be worth it in the end blah, blah, blah but right now it just sucks.

:::adding this to my list of reasons not to get pregnant::: jk

Well that stinks! Hope the Maalox gives you some relief quickly & that this nasty heartburn goes away soon!

Jena - there is a never-ending list if you want there to be but, the flip side is that the benefits to all of it at the end? Totally and completely worth it.

Being slim/having a high metabolism can abslutely run in familes and your mom and close female relatives can be a good example of where you will be after a pregnancy. However, that's if you are smart. When you are pregnant you are not actually eating for two. You only need about 300 extra calories a day (a regular cup of yogurt and an apple). If you eat healthy, stay active and don't go overboard, there is not reason why you won't be back to where you are comfortable post-partum. You also need to realize that gaining weight for the baby is essential. Most OB's agree that 25-35 pounds is the healthy range to gain. Most of that will be gone right after birth, the last few pounds you'll work off (breastfeeding helps make that happen faster).

Still, you and your DH need to be on the same page. While I don't believe that there is a "perfect" time to have a child there are times that are better than others. Having the space and money is fairly necessary. You and DH being on the same page is critical - you will be in this together and BOTH need to want it.

I know that weight gain is healthy, this does not make me comfortable with it. I talked to DH again last night about this, he said he doesnt want one NOW but soon. I guess im just going to have to suck it up eventually. I don't know that i'll ever feel ready? I don't have that "itch" that some women get. I could care less about having kids. Ugh- i'm a horrible wife.

I wasn't rying to imply that you should get comfortable with it or that it's an easy thing to digest - sorry if it sounded that way. After struggling to lose 50 pounds a few years ago and then continuing a struggle to maintain that, I understand in my own way. I do know that not being ready right now does not at all make you a terrible wife!
