[QUOTE]In Response to Re: B&M Monday : Ugh, Sarah it sucks. Because everyone that knows me, knows that I have been all about waiting and not wanting them anytime soon. This just totally hit me out of nowhere! :-/ I'm starting school tomorrow, and DH and I have a lot of traveling we want to do. So, I know that realistically we shouldn't have one any time soon. I think. hahah. I think DH would be ok no matter what.

Yea I am a definitely a planner so I know that I need to take care of some other things (the wedding and getting out of debt!) before we have a baby. But it doesn't make my want for one go away! :-)

And you just went to a baby shower didn't you? It made it so much harder when I went and saw my MOH and her new baby. I am super happy for her, but just a bit jealous :-p He was just so cute and so tiny! But she didn't plan for her two kids and I just can't function without planning it out!

</div><div>Yes, I did! My friend is having twins, a boy and a girl. Although I would NEVER wish for twins, because ohmygosh how hard would that be-I still think it's ideal that she's getting a boy and a girl because ultimately that's what I want, one of each. </div><div>
</div><div>And it doesn't help that everyone seems to be having a baby right now. And I always get pressure from my SIL. And she's always going on about how "old" she was when she had her son and how it makes her feel better that we won't be starting for a few years. She was only 28 when she had him!!! Give me a break!!!! And my other sister in law got engaged recently and she wants to start trying right after the wedding, which probably isn't until 2012, but she's younger than me! And in a way, as dumb as it sounds, it makes me feel old and like we're "behind". I know that's stupid, because we need to do what's best for us. But...I can't help how I feel. </div><div>
</div><div>And it's good to get all that out to people who won't judge me! Phew!

sparklingdiamond · January 2011

Hey I totally understand! It seems like everyone is getting pregnant! And my MOH is my age (we are only 23), so its not like I'm getting too old or anything. Twins are super cute, but I don't know if I could handle them! But I also want a boy and a girl. I even think I know what my baby names will be :-p My mom keeps telling me I should wait (she was 30 when she had me), but I don't want to wait 7 more years!

SBSmith0219 · January 2011

i wish I got to have the fun of looking for a honeymoon

We wont get to take a trip for quite a while, and I am terified that before he and I get to take an awesome trip together that he is going to get deployed.....but I am freaking out and terrified even more that he is going to get deployment orders before the wedding! There are only a handful of FMF Corpsman at the base he is at and they told them last week that they are going to deploying at least 1 of them in April (OUR WEDDING IS IN MAY)

ALSO, I do not have baby fever at the moment because I am always around my 6 nieces and nephews (all ranging in age from newborn to 14) so I get all of that want out of the way by playing and babysitting them BUT I have a strong feeling that when I move to Florida after the wedding that it is going to hit me hard because I LOVE kids

<div>Yeah, you are super young! I'm 26. I know if DH and I had kids right now, although we of course would love them more than anything, we would probably have wished we would have spent a little more time together and done the things we wanted to do. Once you have a baby...you can't go back! So I'm torn, and when I start getting the fever I have to remind myself of that stuff....but it makes it harder when I go to baby showers, and my friends find out they're pregnant.</div><div>
</div><div>What helps me is talking to friends that already have kids. I have never talked to anyone who says they wished they had kids earlier in life, but I've talked to lots of people who said they wished they had waited and had more time to spend and enjoy married life before children. So...hearing that always helps!!</div><div>
</div><div>ETA: My mom was also in her 30's when she had me, and thinks we should wait. She was 32 when she had me. </div>

sparklingdiamond · January 2011

I think pretty much everyone in my family had kids in their 30s...I know my grandma, my mom, and my aunt all waited until their 30s. My FI's family tends to have kids young (most of which are unplanned...so like when they are just 18). So most of the people in his family already have kids.

</div><div>I think it's becoming so much more acceptable these days to wait to have kids. But for some reason, people still put so much pressure on us to have kids after we get married. I think we're going to be "that couple" in the family that are the last one to have kids, that everyone is waiting for and talking about behind closed doors, wondering what we're waiting for.

Aww :-( How did you find out?

Nataile- Theres definitely nothing wrong with waiting to have kids. Of course you wouldn't want to have them until you are ready! But it does suck if your family is putting pressure on you!

angieandjames · January 2011

I'll jump on this baby fever bandwagon... it's been bugging me for a while. But I'm trying to hold off for a while longer... like maybe the end of this year

MLandCJ · January 2011

We found out on facebook. His ex texted me this morning and asked how long he and his fiance have been together. I said 6 months...she informed me that her and my brother had just broken up 2 months ago. Apparently he has been dating servearl other girls too...did I mention we have the SAME name. Her married name will be Courtney "my current last name". That bothers me ALOT.

juliebug1997 · January 2011

I have baby fever but we are having trouble with biology. I am taking the attitude of "If it's meant to happen, then it will."

I say do the more expensive, adult only place for your HM. You are only going to go on one. Spoil yourselves!!!!!

bigbabyface · January 2011

my B&M, me and FI spent all morning at the hospital, and got nothing accomplished. Except that my arm is extremely bruised because the nurse missed my vein 5 times!!! She finally got it on the 6th time, I about hit a b*tch. Not to mention she ripped the EKG stickers off, with out forewarning me she was going to do so.

Another B&M is that i have to wait to get my sonogram until tomorrow morning...because i had a glass of water this morning..(are you kidding?) I starved myself all morning...and now have to wait because I had a glass of water. UGH!

<div>
</div><div>Good and bad. We looked at both the YWCA and the Winery on Saturday morning. We hit the YWCA first because there was a wedding and we couldn't be there past 11am. </div><div>
</div><div>We went with my parents, and all 4 of us REALLY loved the YWCA. Then we went to the winery. (which by the way, we picked the worst day to go) It was POURING rain, and the wind was freezing. The coordinator we had the appointment with was very nice, but she was late getting to us because she tried to squeeze an appointment in before us.</div><div>
</div><div>My parents hated the winery, I think because they had their hearts set on the Y once we left. So I tried to steer clear of them, and look at the winery without being too bias. I really like it, and FI loves it. </div><div>
</div><div>Only problems, FI really really wants an outside ceremony. Which at the Y you can't do that. He also doesn't want the reception and ceremony in two different places....and neither do i but FI really likes the Y.</div><div>
</div><div>we nixed the winery last night after 4 hours of putting pros and cons up on a board. We agreed that if this golf course i'm looking into doesn't work out. We're going with the YWCA :) He is willing to let go of the outside ceremony, as it's hard to find somewhere that's half and half, in one place...and still in our budget. So we accomplished some stuff this weekend :)</div><div>
</div><div>..i guess lol</div>

</div><div>The only thing that's been bothering me; and i'm not sure if it's just me being too precautious after the tribute...but I didn't that "this is it" moment at either place. I think it could be just me trying to protect myself though. I hate getting disappointed. </div>

BanannaP · January 2011

I'm 29, and I want a baby, like, yesterday. Female fertility takes a major nosedive after thirty, and I'm really worried about not being able to get pregnant. And Courts is ready too. Once I get a full-time job, we'll start trying a few months later, I'm sure. Circumstances will never be perfect, and they say you can never really be ready, so I figure, why wait? I can't wait to see my parents as grandparents, and my sister as an aunt.

BanannaP · January 2011

Is it just me or is that "Cost of Band vs Cost of DJ" on the board like 9 times?

Its not just you - I'm the mod of Reception Ideas and I tried to move it over to the DFW board and it went nuts! I cleaned it up though. :)

fallbride1109 · January 2011

Oh yeah, my B&M is we are going to Cirque de Soleil on 2/5 and were going to stay at ALOFT in Frisco. But it's booked. Everything is booked because of the Superbowl. So yeah, we totally failed on that one.

I came back over to the DFW board and was like WHOA!

bigbabyface · January 2011

Anna, yes...it's on the board like a jillion times.

On the baby subject, I'm only 20, FI is 21 and he's mentioned to TTC multiple times in the last year. My parents started young, like...17 & 18. They had my brother when my mother just turned 17, me when she was 20 and my younger sister when she turned 23.

FI has baby fever REALLY bad, and i'm really wanting one as well. I'm just too scared to try yet, and we have PLENTY of time. I just know i'm destined to have twins...it runs heavily in my family. And has yet to skip a generation for 7 generations!!

I was SUPPOSED to be a twin, but my mother lost it early in the pregnancy. I just don't think i can handle two babies right now. I have three as it is (FI, and two dogs) :P

I have baby fever, but i can wait

We've discussed it multiple times, we aren't trying, as a matter of fact we're (halfway) trying not to...but if it happens, i don't think either of us would be upset.

BanannaP · January 2011

My SIL is pregnant with twins. I'm hoping it will help my baby fever. I can just walk in the room and say "somebody hand me a baby!"

marksle84 · January 2011

Ooooo BABIES!

I thought I was the only crazy one out there! I'm turning 27 before the wedding and everyone in my family was finished having kids by the time they were 25. So I feel really behind. But FI and I love to travel so the plan is: baby in my belly by 30

. I never thought I would be this girl. But at 25 it just hit me that I want to settle down get married and have a baby. I was always so career oriented, but after working for several Interior Design Firms that closed I realized I needed a new goal. I looked at going back to school and getting a new career, but by the time I finished something it would be time to have kids. So I'm just working doing temp stuff until I can find full time for a couple years.

Confession alert: I wouldn't be opposed to having a HM baby... shhh
