Uh Oh....

Ladies, I am having some serious baby fever right now! I don't know if it is close to my time of the month and my hormones are going crazy or what but I can't stop thinking about having a baby. I'm seriously thinking of starting to 'try' after my friends wedding next September. This is scaring the crap out of me but it is also really exciting!! I just wanted to share with you ladies because anyone else I tell will start telling everyone that I'm pregnant and we don't need that rumor flying around.

Re: Uh Oh....

  • Oh my gosh! One of the girls I work with asked me today what the plan was! I told her we are trying to go debt free first... I will tell you, it is a serious kick in the ovaries when anyone brings it up!

  • I know what you mean! Two weeks ago when I got promoted at work I felt this sense of relief that because I now have a full-time job as does DH and we make pretty decent money, therefore we could have a baby at anytime... but we are thinking maybe TTC next September...

    But it was weird because before my promotion it was just "in the future... the next 2 years or so...

    I don't know... right now DH and I are relaxing with our cats on the couch watching Nip/Tuck and we are so glad we don't have kids right now :)

    But damn... I would also love to be rocking a sweet little baby to sleep too :P

  • I'm right there with you ladies. I have been ready for a while but our plan was always to wait till next May and now H says he's ready. It's so hard not to give in to him but we won't start "trying" till between May and Sept. My MOH is getting married next Nov and we have to travel so being pregnant during then is fine I just don't want to be uncomfortable and miserable during the wedding.
  • I'm ready right now! But my body just isn't cooperating with me! I had been on and off Depo for about 10 years and never had a problem getting back to normal. Well, I had my last shot in March so I wouldn't risk getting my period during the wedding. The next shot would have been due towards the end of June, which means I would have gotten my period. I was so concerned, my doctor gave me some pills to help my body along. Anyway. My body is slooooowwwlly doing what it should be doing.

    Then there's school. I had wanted to apply for next fall, but it appears that I won't be able to because I have to have ALL my pre-reqs completed before applying. They won't even look at the application even if I have one class left to take. I'm taking some pre-reqs now and more in the spring. Since it will be two years before I start the program, I think it want to start trying asap. I refuse to wait until I am done with school because that's another 4 years, and my clock is ticking!

  • I TOTALLY have baby fever! But you know, I am so loving the spontaneity of being newlyweds, too :-)  That New Orleans trip was really fun and totally irresponsible, but I said to DH on our 15 hour drive down, "It's kind of fun being able to do a random, spontaneous trip like this. What's the point of not having kids right now if we don't do crazy stupid stuff like this??"

  • I totally have it too... not good!!

    We are going to wait a year I think, but it will be tough (for me anyway!)

    I really want to travel a little before a baby, and I think the only place we MIGHT get to go is Jamaica next September..

  • Looks like Im on the same plan as some of you ladies...me and H talked about me getting off BC sometime next fall and going from there...Im super excited. I got killer baby fever and started praying for a healthy little one. I am glad that we going to have a little bit to enjoy the nestie stage and get some of our finances and house a little bit more organized  and I will be done with my Masters in December and will be 30 in March and he is 31 so its a good time for us. :)

  • It's kind of funny that we are all feeling the same way and that we are all thinking of 'trying' around the same time :) Great minds I suppose!!

  • looks like I'll be last to the game again...I would love to have kids sooner rather then later, but money is tight and I still don't know what is going to happen with my nephew this fall, so the earliest we would even consider to start trying is 2 years, because its going to take that long to get back down to our only debt being the morgage. Sigh*

     Having said that I do love having my nephew around, and since he 'lives' at my parents, its easy for me and H to skip town because my parents will watch him..and the past month they have taken him out of town to spend time with my brother (his dad) so that he gets used to him. Its nice to have a kid that you can still say..hey I wanna do this...you watch him!

  • @toothpaste : don't worry! You definitely won't be the last one to the party! No fever over here. Don't get me wrong - I adore babies and love shopping for baby clothes for my friends and look forward to having one - eventually. BUT, I am SO not ready now - even though at (almost) 34 yrs old - I should be, but not quite there yet. We are planning to start talking about it in 2 years.
  • I've been getting baby fever too recently. And H is certainly ready and hoping it'll happen. We've been "not, not trying" since we got together 2.5 yrs ago, meaning that we don't use any form of BC/contraceptives, but the goal hasn't really been to get pregnant. I went on the pill a few months before the wedding to make sure I wouldn't have my period that day, and then went off after the wedding. I was hoping the pill would kind of jump start my ovaries, but still nothing. My GYN says fertility treatments are the next step, but that's when the reminder hits that H and I are NOT ready for kids. I'd like us to be married for at least 2 yrs before having kids, plus we're working towards paying off debt and buying a house, and I'd like to finish school. If we end up getting pregnant beforehand, I know we'll be able to handle it without a problem, but we'll be officialy TTC when I start fertility treaments... in 2 to 5 yrs lol.
  • Yea, I've had baby fever the last couple of months. I never wanted kids so I don?t know what brought this on. I think it just hit me one day that I want to be able to give my husband the family that he wants and that maybe it wouldn?t be SO bad(I don?t really care for kids) but I LOVE Babies!. And we would have really CUTE babies LOL So I actually started temping my BBT just to see if I am even ovulating and when. We're not trying and we are definitely not doing anything to prevent it. We're just rebels like that ;) But I would really really like to get our dream house built before we bring a baby into our lives. And I don?t want to be a working mom so we would have to be comfortable enough where the Hubby can be the bread winner. So there are a lot of things to take into consideration.
