*Misa* and others not trying TTC or PG
I just got a call from a friend about meeting up for dinner tonight. The problem is that she has the cutest and I mean cutest baby on the planet. She is 5 months old and her name is Everly. I am in love with her every time I see her at football games (her daddy plays with DH). I am worried that I am going to leave dinner badly wanting a baby.
Obviously that is probably an exaggeration as I am quite content TTA, but my question is do you have moments that make you think you should start TTCing now? What gives you the baby urge? Or am I just crazy?

Re: *Misa* and others not trying TTC or PG
There are times that I'm in total 'baby fever' and think that we should start TTC now (or at least not wait another 4-5 years). Especially since it seems that most of my high school graduating class has had a child- or multiple- and they're all posting pictures on FB.
You want to know what makes me realize there there is no way I'm ready yet? Having a "fight" with DH at 2 o'clock in the morning while your dog is whining and barking on who has to take him outside/put him downstairs in his room. I was telling my mom this yesterday and she made a remark on the fact you can't do that with a baby to which my reply was "and that's why we don't have children". I'm not ready for 18+ years of responsibility for another human being quite yet.
But trust me, if I'm around babies or see pictures of babies it makes me go into baby mode so you're not alone.
Haha thank goodness I am not alone! But in all seriousness we're not ready either. Remember when I posted about a teammate of DH's who was released the day his wife gave birth. Well he was picked up by another team, moved there and then released a week later so he still has no job. I couldn't do that, we still want to be selfish which is why we're not TTC but I also wouldn't want the stress of DH's career with a kid in tow.
It's crazy though I am pretty sure there are like only 6 wives on the team out of 60ish guys that do not have children or are currently pregnant. There are 2 still pregnant and 7 babies that have been born this year (since January)! This blows my mind! Atleast I get to live vicariously through them for now. Thankfully my Mom is supportive of us waiting awhile, my in-laws not so much!
I actually thought when I was younger I would want to start having kids around this age (25/26 ish). But now we are thinking 30+. I also thought I wanted 3-4 kids and now we're thinkin 1-2. It is funny how your perception can change!

This. We always thought that we'd have three kids but the more we think about it, the less we want to be "out-numbered" by kids.
DH keeps joking that if I was still dating the guy I ended up breaking up with to date him I'd be barefoot and pregnant (since he KU a girl after we broke up within months of them starting to date).
I have those baby urges occasionally, but then I remember that DH still occasionally acts like a child, or I see my best friend dealing with her 14 month old who won't stop crying at dinner, or the one atrocious time it took both the friend and I to change the baby's diaper. I'm quite content with not TTC for at least another year or to. =]
At the same time, I still love to see other's baby photos!
Even when I'm around babies, I do not have baby fever. I don't love babies. I like kids a lot, but babies freak me out. So I'm hoping someday in the next few years I will catch baby fever so I feel ready to TTC.
I know we want kids, but the thought of having a at all baby is overwhelming to me, especially now in our lives.
