S/O- babies!

unclaimedpants · December 2012

The post below got me curious- are you and FI planning to have a family? If so, when do you plan to start trying /adopting/ growing your family in another way?

RebCappon · December 2012

We do but will be waiting probably about 2 years.

Annas2013 · December 2012

We do. I'll just turn 21 right after we're married so we'll be waiting probably 5ish years before we start trying. I want to have the first(if not only) one before 30.

Depending on what he decides to do about PA school, we'll either try after 5 years or whenever he finishes if it's after that.

Edit: The FI is a Jr, so if we have a boy, I wanna be able to name him whatever FI's name is the third. If it's a girl I really really love the name Eleanor with Ellie for short.

unclaimedpants · December 2012

FI and I plan to start talking seriously about a family when I'm 30 (3 years from now). We'd love bio children, but that may not be in the cards for us. Regardless, we plan to look into adoption as a way to grow our family.

In the meantime I just play with my friend's children and dream up baby names... right now I'm stuck on Declan and Liam

melb2013 · December 2012

We want to have a child. Probably just one. We want to wait about 4-5 years after we get married to start trying. I've had a lot of hormonal imbalance issues and it's been suggested that I may have a difficult time getting pregnant. FI and I have discussed the possibility that we may not be able to get pregnant in which case we would like to adopt instead of trying fertility treatments.

FLGatorGal88 · December 2012

As of now FI and I are in the mind set that we don't want to have any babies. That could change after sometime I am 24 and FI is 30. If we do decide to start a family it wont be until I finish school which can be anywhere from 1 to 2 years.

bburkel · December 2012

We're going to start trying right after the wedding, since I'm going to be 35 in July, and he will be 31. All of our friends are already married with kids, so we have some catching up to do.

I'd love to have 3 or 4, he's leaning more toward 2. His dad is a twin and twins also run in my family, so we're kinda hoping we just have twins and that will be it.

As far as names go, I really want to name a boy after my dad, since he passed away 8 years ago, but my FI is not very fond of the name Roger for a first name. He has lots of ideas for girl names. I'd prefer to just have boys, he wants one of each.

turtleslove · December 2012

Were both will turn 26 in July so we want to do it before we turn 30. Our plan is to adopt and we have to wait till we are married 3 years to do that per the adoption company we are looking at going through, so we will prolly be 30 by the time that happens

You and I are very similar. I just turned 35 and FI will be 31 in a few days. He knows about the issues I had trying t get pregnant in my first marriage and is on board with whatever we need to do. Ideally I would go off bcc after the wedding and if nothing by December, start the basic testing with the dr before going to an infertility specialist. I just worry I am getting too old and there will be more complications. I already know what I want to name a boy, Benjamin Robert (B is my gpa's middle name, R is FI's dad's name).

Posted by carpenters3[/QUOTE]

When we get married I will be 24 and FI will be 25. I think we will wait about 5-ish years before a family. We want to get out of the apartment and buy a house before we start a family.

SSaltzman87 · December 2012

FI and I don't want children. We have many friends and family that want them, so we'll have plenty of kids around :-)

Both sets of parents are completely okay with it, but there have been a few icky relatives that have called us 'selfish'.

beckyh77 · December 2012

Steph maybe you can babysit for me someday

<div>I think realizing that you don't want children is a very self-less thing, for the record.</div>

TogetherPerfect · December 2012

We both want kids... He seems to want them a little sooner than I do, only because I know how much a baby costs, lol. But if we are financially ready, we will probably start trying next September/October.

Danny&Mel2003 · December 2012

We are talking about trying for babies in the next 3 yrs or so. I only want 2 but if we have a 3rd that would be ok too

DivaJenD · December 2012

I'm 29 and FI is 40... We haven't nailed down an exact timeframe to start trying... if money weren't an issue, we'd start trying on the honeymoon!! ...but with my student loans and debt and FI's lack of savings, I think we'll probably aim for mid-to-late 2014... I'd rather not wait, but we're trying to be realistic/practical/smart... it's so tough though when we both are so ready emotionally...

chipmunk112511 · December 2012

We already have our first

But ideally I want to try again and actually TRY this time lol for #2. If it were up to him we would be 1 and done (because of course he got his boy already) but I really want a girl and since they run strong in my family I think the next one would be, if not then we would be done at 2 as we would like to have money to do things with our kids vs having more and being broke.

rlmarroc · December 2012

I'm 29 and he is 31 (32 a week after the wedding). If it were up to FI, I'd be ready to pop right now. He definitely got the baby bug when a few of our friends and relatives had children and he is even worse with it now that our niece was born in September.

I probably would've waited about six months after the wedding to start trying but we compromised and I'm actually very excited about it. We will officially start trying on our honeymoon

I also want 4 kids which FI is down with. My FI is a IV so if we have a boy he will be V. I get to name the rest of the kids though (with his input). I'm in love with the names Charlotte (Charlie for short) and Isabella. If we'd have another boy, he'd be named after my brother that was stillborn, Joseph. We would also probably make his middle name Rocco as an ode to my maiden last name.

bcbrown63 · December 2012

I am 25 and FI is 27. We knew from the beginning that we didn't want children. His family is okay with it, mine isn't. They still think I'll change my mind, which is really frustrating.

SRRL18 · December 2012

We are done having kids. We have our son who is 6 and our daughter who will be 3 next month.

RWolff · December 2012

FI is going to be 30 in a week, and I'm 24. Logically, we know that we should wait until we're both done with our MBAs (3 years more parttime), but I want them noooooow. My co-worker is due in June and I am living vicariously through her.

I'm adopted, but I would strongly prefer to have biological children. Although my parents are the best and FI and I would consider it an option if fertility is an issue, I've never been biologically related to my family, so having my own children is something I really want.

tlc35 · December 2012

I will be 36 in June and he will be 44 so we need to get started ASAP since we both want 2 kids. We so want some couple time so we will wait a few months after the wedding.

stantokm · December 2012

I'll be 30 in April and FH will be 30 in November. We don't have a set time to start trying for kids, but I want to wait AT LEAST one year--I'd like to be able to enjoy some weddng wine on our first anniversary.

We're going to try to start having kids at the same time as our friends (unless they drag their feet). I'd estimate that I'll be pregnant before our second anniversary. Gotta start fast because we want 3-4.

PJBHL5 · December 2012

We will probably start trying for our 1 last baby around the 1 year anniversary mark.

VJones1981 · December 2012

We plan on starting pretty soon after the wedding. I turn 32 next month, so I don't really want to wait. When I was younger, I didn't want kids at all. Now I want them NOW!! We wouldn't be upet if I got pregnant on the honeymoon, I just don't want it to happen before.

CamiB30 · December 2012

I had the baby bug a few years back and it's calmed down since then, lol. His has just started gearing up, haha!!
We discussed it and agreed to wait a year before trying. I'd like to spend time as a married couple before having kids.

HoneyBunny13 · December 2012

I will be a few months from 26 and FI will have just turned 25 when we get married. We definitely want at least one child and I'd like to have my first before I'm 30. We plan to stop trying to prevent in July of next year and actively start trying in September or October.
FI's best female friend is pregnant right now and due at the end of July and now he's really excited to have one of our own. This is fine with me because I am SO ready and wanting a baby

That said, I do NOT want to be pregnant before the wedding. Thinking about my dress not fitting, not being able to have a glass of wine, morning sickness on the honeymoon, etc..yeah, no way.

jessicabridie · December 2012

I'm 26 and he'll be 27, and we'll probably wait 3-6 years to start trying for our first. We'd like to have 2-3 kids, but I'd like to finish grad school and have at least a year or 2 of experience in my career before a baby. That gives us more time to save and be in a better position financially, since I want to be able to stay home or only work part time for the baby's first year or so.

I always thought I wanted to be that cool young mom and have kids well before 30, but now I realize there are so many things to do and experience before we settle down! :-)
