Babies everywhere!
Have you guys noticed how many babies are around lately?!
Around lunch there was a mommy/baby group hanging around in the lobby, and this afternoon another large mommy/baby group was hanging around in the conservatory. It was nice to see moms getting their babies into nature!
Also, my wedding photographer (who I'm friends with on FB) has been posting TONS of baby pictures lately. They are so so stinkin' cute!
And, like half the people I know are PG.
AND half of YOU have just had or are having babies!
Don't get me wrong - I'm not being snarky at all. I love babies. They are just EVERYWHERE lately! Maybe I'm just noticing them more now that DH and I are thinking about one of our own.
I need a baby fix. Time to call up that friend with a baby... LoL!
Re: Babies everywhere!
Agreed. In the same vein, how long did you guys wait/are you waiting after getting married to start trying? If that's the path path you decided to go down, that is.
We got married recently and decided that we were going to wait a year before "seriously discussing trying" (which I have taken to mean "seriously discussing removing my IUD"). IT seemed like a good idea at the time, but I am having waaaaay mixed emotions about it now.
Well, in my case, DH and I decided to wait at least a year after we got married. We just celebrated our 1 yr. anniversary, and have recently decided to not not try even though we aren't really actively ttc.
We're both pretty young, but we have a stable income, have known each other for 8 years, and have always wanted kids.
Not going to lie - it's a little scary. I've been off BCP since May. That was scary, but after a couple of cycles w/o them it's not so bad. I also started charting. That helps because you get to learn your body and influence TTA or TTC. Again, more confidence. It helps to have some control and understanding over the whole situation.
I think each couple is different and you just have to go with what YOU want.
Hope that helps!
I think it's one of those things that people tend to do things at the same point in their life. And most of us are around the same age, which happens to be when people tend to have kids.
Just the natural progression of life I guess. Obviously there are plenty of ladies without babies which is great too. But there was a baby boom on the board in the last 6mos.
We're waiting 3-5 years after getting married to start trying. But everybody is different, you have to go with what feels right to you and your DH.
We were married just over two years when we started TTC. By our 3rd anniversary, we were a family of three.
We were married ~6mos when we started trying. But we had been together ~5yrs and had lived together for ~3yrs. We basically felt that although we hadn't been married a long time, we had been together for a long time so it didn't seem rushed. Plus we both have stable jobs and we own our home which were two big things we wanted prior to TTC.
It really just depends on your life circumstances when it's the right time.
We were married last September and will start TTC this new years soo about a year and a half later, were going to cross our fingers for an October baby!
