Babies on the brain!

sunshine1084 · February 2010

Okay, for about two weeks now all I can think about is having a baby! I've even dreamt about it! Don't get me wrong, I really can't wait for the day when DH and I can bring a baby into this world but right now just isn't the time.

Has anyone else's brain been begging for babies? (whoa, talk about alliteration!)

This is great! I did the same before we made the decision to try. For me, everyone around us was having babies and right after we got married, my entire family started asking when it was going to happen so it just naturally (in my opinion) turned into my dreams at night!

Haha, in a word, yes. But as you can see, I'm having one haha. We were in the same position, wanted one but were waiting and we just decided to go for it. I think his brain finally gave in :-)

Aww - that's so awesome for both of you!

Unfortunately, as a Type 1 diabetic I'm going to need to serious preparation work to get to the point of even trying to conceive.

Eww I hate babies.

Seriously though, I started feeling that way about a year and a half ago. It was right when my husband lost his job the first time, so obviously not good timing. I found ways to distract myself until this past fall, when we decided to go for it. And now here we are!

SAME HERE... Problem is i'm 20 years old. I got engaged nov. 2009. and all i can think about is babies! He's not ready for it, so I'm trying to back off. I don't think its the right time either because we're both still in college.. but it's like once your engaged, you think... wedding.. babies.. house! I don't know, I love babies, but he's not ready like I said SO

guess I'll have to keep waiting......

I'm in the same position as you right now. I play it off as though we've got plenty of time (I'm 25 and MH is 26) but deep down I have baby fever big time. MH knows this and he too would love a baby but he's going back to school for his MBA and currently gearing up to start the CFA so it really isn't good timing. We're hoping next year we can start try so until then I hog my cousins baby (my god daughter) and it helps!

I have baby fever big time and DH knows it! We're actually in a good position to go for it, but he's not ready yet and I don't want to pressure him into it.

I have baby fever big time, and my wedding isn't until April!! FI always teases me that "my biological clock isn't ticking, the alarm is going off!" We both have plenty of time (I'm 25 and he's almost 29), and I still have some school I want to finish, but I just can't get it off my mind!! (As I've mentioned a few times before...) We just moved to Boston from Atlanta for FI's new job, and I am not working right now. Aside from me doing school, we are in a pretty good position to have kids, but I just want to make sure that we're not doing it just because I have baby fever, but because we want and are ready for kids. I'm in the same position as the OP- I have a lot of prep work to do before we can start trying. I'm not diabetic, but I have PCOS, extremely high cholesterol (hereditary), RA, and a severe pain disorder, so there are a lot of things to consider first. But "baby on the brain" is the understatement of the century!

I get it every once in a while (and for some reason I've had a lot of dreams about it lately) but I know we're not ready for it. DH and I are both still in school and I want to work a couple years before starting a family. We also LOVE traveling and want to do a lot more of it before we have kids and can't just pick up and go so easily! We also would like to get a house first but that's certainly a few years away. DH actually randomly said a few weeks ago that if we had a "surprise" he might actually be excited- which is completely opposite of his usual run-the-other-direction reaction to kids

We don't have any friends with babies so I think that's keeping the baby fever at bay too (we were the first of our friends to get married and are only 22 now) but my 2 friends that got married last year will probably have babies soon. We're planning to start trying in 3-4 years, which I guess is still considered early these days, but we want to have 3 or 4 so I don't want to still be having kids in my late thirties.
