I has a touch of the baby fever

Don't worry, there will be no reproducing for years . . . but I feel like once I turned 27, my body just started wanting a baby. I don't know why . . . maybe because my mom was 27 when she had me? This weekend when we were hanging out with J's cousins and their kids, I wanted to snatch one up and take him home. Oh and yesterday on the subway, there was a family sitting next to me and while I was reading, I felt a tiny hand tap me. I looked over and this little kid, probably less than two looked up at me and smiled and waved. I melted.

Gah, my ovaries.

  • Is it strange that I never experienced this?  I mean I have always wanted a family, and I knew that a baby was the only way to make it happen, but I have never experienced that yearing that others talk about when they see babies.  Honestly, I get more excited about baby puppies. When I see a baby I am like "Oh, cute baby!" but when I see a puppy its like "SQUEEEEEEEE LOOK AT THE BABY PUPPY!!!  Can I have him???  I HAVE to have the baby puppy!!!!!!"

    My sister is the same way :) 

  • Will it help if I tell you Hunter has been screaming ALL morning and two days ago he sh!t all over our cream colored carpet.  Projectile style?  

    Or I could tell you of my stretchie marks :)  That cured one of my friends baby fever fast (also her DH is moving to India w/o her for year, that probably helped).  

    Although, he doesn't even cure my second-baby fever.  Because even when he's crying he is SO FLIPPIN' CUTE that I want another one.

  • I know that mine kicked in at the age my mother had her first which was 25. I wasn't ready then.  It has sense turned into a fierce fiery burn rather than just a fever and I suspect that is because im steadily crawling to 30 which was when my mother had her second.  It only gets worse like J said.

    Honestly, I would probably still get more excited about a baby puppy than a baby, despite the yearning. Or a baby pig.

    Oh yes, this is me to a T.  Even though I have baby fever, show me a PUPPY and I can't contain myself.  The cuteness is almost too much for me to bear LOL!  I can't get enough of puppies!

  • Definitely "squeeeeeeee" more about puppies than babies! Although sometimes I'll see a young family and get really excited for if that was us.
  • Mine kicked in at 27 too.  However, I think I will always find puppies cuter than babies.

    AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH.

    Me too! I honestly don't go nuts over other people's babies but show me a puppy and I have to hold him and kiss him and squeeze him.  I go nuts over my baby of course.

     And O.M.G. must have baby pig!  So cute!

  • I have had baby fever from 20 til about this year (31)...Dont know what changed...I think getting a puppy and seeing what hard work he is and thinking about how taking care of a puppy doesnt even touch taking care of a baby has cooled my jets a bit.

    Dont get me wrong, if my BC messed up or something I would be totally happy...but for right now...I think we are cooling it on the baby talk.

    We do want 2 kiddo's and I would like to be done having them by 35...so things will be happening soon and in rapid sucsetion! ::gulp::

  • I've got it bad right now! It's increased over the last few months, and I'm not sure why. You'd think having 5 nieces would do the opposite! But over the last few months spending time with the girls, it's made us want our own kiddos so much more!

    this exactly.  I also started getting baby fever worse when I turned 28 probably because my mom had me when SHE was 28. . .never really thought of it though until you posted this.

  • I started "thinking" about wanting babies about 6 months after the wedding, it's rapidly progressing into a fever, but I'd still take a kitten over a baby any day! LOL

    Seriously though, if I wasn't turning 30 next June, and DH 33 next July, we'd wait a couple years, but I don't want to up our risk of having trouble trying to conceive so we are already tryin'.
