NWR: Babies!!

wineo929 · February 2012

Hey ladies,

So since I love you girls and my friends IRL will think I'm BSC, I'm getting this out here!

I've always wanted to be a mom-- since I knew what being a mom was haha. I went into teaching since I knew my plan of a SAHM wouldn't support me financially

My friend just had a little boy a month ago. I didn't get to meet him until this weekend since I was living in Nola and ever since I met him all of my baby crazy thoughts have come RUSHING back. I have serious baby fever. Serious.

Today in the grocery, I stopped a mom to tell her how cute her son was. Literally. Then every time they walked by me I giggled.

My MOH continues to remind me about poop, and crying, and sleepless nights but holy cow... I'm ready now. My mind and body are screaming BABY.

The wedding is in 216 days and I would like to be non-pregnant at my wedding. My FI said yesterday, "We can just elope and start trying." (Not sure his level of seriousness) Part of me wants to do this SO badly, but I think I'd regret not having the wedding we planned. There's nothing wrong with eloping, I just don't think I'd be happy down the road.

Anyone else battling babies on the brain?!

I never thought I would, but ever since I found out that I can't its driving me INSANE. Just to try to make that side of me happy shortterm we already started looking into adoption agencies that do newborn adoptions in the area.

Yes. I have been for awhile. And I found out so is FI, a few months back he said "we can get pregnant now and you would have the baby before the wedding" RIIIIIGGGHHHT, I'm just gonna wait, b/c I've wanted a wedding just as long as I've wanted babies and about 10 years ago my friend eloped and now has 4 kids but says she sometimes wishes she had her "day". What I am worried about is getting a new job that starts in September, then getting pregnant by the end of the year, (which is what we have discussed) I don't know how that would work.

I felt the same exact way you do about a year ago. I went through a major baby-craving phase. I was dreaming about it every night, it was ridiculous. I wouldn't say the phase has passed, but it's definitely not as strong. TTC is actually one of the few things FI and I have not been able to agree on. I want to start trying immediately after the HM, he wants to wait at least 2 years. Right now we've compromised at 1 year after the wedding, and I'm secretly hoping he gets baby fever sooner, haha.

npott044 · February 2012

Oh yes I am right there! FI is even more on board then me. He wanted to have kids last year but I said no I want to be married first.

gabriel0915 · February 2012

Strangely enough I've been thinking about it. Not getting preg but having kids. We both agreed for the longest time that we didn't want kids and we were happy with that. Now, almost in sync we both starting talking about having kids and what we are excited about and when I get a new car this year what would be the most practical. So glad it's not just me lol. In all honesty, I want our wedding. We have been waiting on this day for years and we want to have some time to enjoy the wedding and being married before kids. Things will work out at the right time. That's always our motto!

wineo929 · February 2012

Britt- If you adopt, do you know when you'd like to?! I think that's awesome

JuneBug- That's exactly what I DON'T want to happen to me!! I'm going to just try and focus on work and hopefully the time flies haha

Jessa- My FI also said 2 years, I said right after, and we're looking at the 1 year mark to start trying. He just confuses me sometimes when he says stuff like, "We can just elope and start trying." It's like... um now or later? Stop with the mind gamessss lol

Until then, I'll creepily look at babies in all public places (not like I could stop doing that even if I wanted to) and buy cute baby things for my friends haha

Glad to know I'm not the only one

We will start TTC right after the wedding! I have been charting for almost a year now and it looks as though a HM baby could be a possibility. FI and I are both in our 30's and we are excited...he may be actually more excited than me! Don't get me wrong, I can't wait to have kids with him but the whole pregnancy and delivery scares me! haha.

You sound EXACTLY like me! I've been charting and ever since FI's friends have gotten pregnant/had babies he's gotten "baby fever" almost worse than me sometimes lol. We are also in our 30s and want to start right away, but after my friend got put on bed rest for half her pregnancy I started to get scared too and I actually went and signed up for AFLAC thru work so that the time line works out in case anything was to happen! I'm hoping I won't need it though.

MrsReynolds12 · February 2012

We both want kids but would like to be married for a few years before. We have plenty of time we will 22 & 23 on wedding day. We agreed we would wait atleast 2 years and reevaluate at that time when would be best to try. FI has mentioned he would be ecstatic even if it happened on HM I can't say the same just yet.

SCogs18 · February 2012

FI and I have a baby plan, I guess you could call it. I wanted to have our two kids (a boy and a girl in my dream world) around 27 & 29 (I just turned 24 and will be 3 months shy of 25 at the wedding), but I'm not sure if we can afford to have children then. It's really important to us we own our own home before we have babies so maybe we will push it back a year or two.

FI, however, is talking about kids a lot lately. I think he told me I would be a great mom 4 times this weekend and that he is looking forward to being a dad and doing all the neat things a dad gets to do and getting to teach our children things.

So, we'll see? No HM baby for us though.

romamor4 · February 2012

We have decided we will start on our honeymoon. We are in our early thirties and don't want to lose any time. We're so excited to have children, all of our friends are having babies and we would like our children to grow up and have friends their same age they can play with when we meet up with our friends and family. So, now's the time for us! Well, after the wedding is the time... lol So we are going to just go with the flower starting on the honeymoon and see what happens. We're not going to try, we're just going to stop avoiding pregnancy.

adktd2boots · February 2012

I started writing a post last week, then deleted it. The CN for it are:

I had a pregnancy scare. Turns out, it's just an infection although the symptoms are similar to that of early pregnancy. FI and I want kids. Right away. But when I thought I was pregnant and timing things out, I figured I'd be at the 8 month mark for the wedding and that just wouldn't work. I didn't want to be "that" bride, so we would have to postpone or elope.

I was afraid I was going to have to leave you ladies and that made me sad. And now today I'm MISERABLY crampy and moody and there are needy men all over my office and I just want to crawl under my desk and hide.

MillBride2012 · February 2012

We will start trying January 2013. We will begin doing all our research and getting everything lined up right after the wedding though. It will take a little more legwork for us than most opposite sex couples.

ekk120 · February 2012

We're looking on trying in the summer of 2013, if all goes well. We are hoping to buy a home a few months after the wedding.

Seriously, if my dress wasnt so tight.... I might just start trying now!! hahaha

We live in a one bedroom apartment... that is attached to my future in laws house. And even though theres plenty of space to make our office into a nursery, we would really like to be out on our own before getting pregnant. But it does make me relieved to know that even if we do get pregnant before we move, we won't be screwed!

I am SOO excited to keep up with all of you ladies after the wedding... Im going to be so jealous of all the girls who have HM babies!
