TICK TICK!!!!

BinxRose

I don't know what's wrong with me! But I swear, just days after saying "I do"...my biological clock started ticking very loudly!! Believe me, I know that realistically, this is not a good time. H has to get through his next deployment, I need to get a "real" job, H needs to go to school, we need more money....the list goes on. But the optimistic part of me is screaming "Ignore your brain! Listen to your empty womb!!"

Did/is that happening to anyone else? How are you staving off those baby urges?

Yes. Oh goodness yes. I have yet to get over the baby fever.

I go through baby fever at least once a week.  It got worse after I baby sat my cousin's son for 2 months (he's now 14 months).

I go in waves. Pre wedding we had a 5 year plan... almost a year later and we are thinking end of this year TTC.

Yes! Sometimes I go to the bakery down the street for donuts and people watching and I always see families out and about in the neighborhood. Major baby fever. H doesn't like when I talk about it....it's like he thinks that thinking about it will make it actually happen ha!

I think lately H has had it a lot more than me, like when we were in Myrtle Beach, he saw a onesie that said "can't date til I'm 30" and he said "I wish we had a baby girl already, I'd totally buy it. My heart melted. Lol. As he is going on a very long deployment soon, we are definitely still waiting. I think it helps that I'm constantly with a 15 month old who is learning to throw temper tantrums and runnign everywhere. It keeps my fever grounded especially when I am being puked on. Haha

I had it for about 30 seconds...And then my niece's diaper needed to be changed.

Also, if H and I got pregnant soon.... that SOB would be gone for most of the pregancy, if not all depending on dates.... He aint getting off that easy.=P

This has never happened to me. 

I mean, I want kids eventually, but not any time soon.

Hey Binx... I just remembered how I am keeping the babies out of my belly... The freedom of drinking at any given time.

HAHA!! I enjoy a drink every now and then, but I'm honestly not that big of a drinker. That does remind me of one reason to not get KU right now though....fresh sushi!!!

Kara- our H's...geesh. H is no help in staving off my baby fever, because he has it worse than me. He was so stinkin cute when we had my niece for the day, and even said "I can't wait to do this with our own kids."

We literally got pregnant a few weeks after our wedding.  It was a surprise in that it happend on our first try, but we had planned to try right away.  A lot of it had to do with our age (we were both 33 when we got married), and we knew we wanted to have a few kids, so we felt we needed to get started.   I will say that babysitting or comparing having your own child to just being around other people's kids definitely is not the same.  I've never been a "kid person."  (And to be honest, I'm still not sure that I am).  But when it's your own, it's so different.  The love you have for your own child makes you so much more patient.  I've never gotten frustrated with my daughter the way I have in the past with other people's kids. And also, look at things this way- you'll probably never regret waiting to have babies, but you may end up wishing you had waited a little bit longer.  Just a thought.

oh I forgot to add, to calm my fever I watch a Baby Story on TLC. I love babies and want a few but the whole pushing them out of my v - scares the sh!t out of me. :) (I will say I prefer natural to C Section but I'm paranoid).

<div>I haven't seen this show but not sure if I would want to! Sometimes I joke around wanting to just have a C seciton, this way I would be knocked out and not feel the pain.. haha. My mom had 3 Cs and she said it wasn't so bad for her. </div><div>
</div><div>Binx: Omg, he was trying to talk me into possibly trying on a port visit because his buddies have done it this way! I'm still not sure, my answer is that we'll cross the bridge when we get there. I think he really just started with the "fever" after our first anniversary, in his head, he's probably thinking we've been married a while and have been together for a long time, let's take the next step? </div>

I am kept up at night by that stupid clock sometimes.  There is however nothing I can do about it right now so that dumb clock will have to wait.
