Yeah, the dreaded question :P But we're among friends, right?
Just curious. I'm getting married in June and have the baby rabies pretty bad. I'm just (re)starting school so when we thought it would only take a couple years we figured we'd try after I graduated and worked a year or two. Now that it looks like school will be part time and take four years (I'll be 30 when I graduate), I almost wonder if it wouldn't be easier just to have one sooner. But maybe that's the baby rabies talking. I guess I'll let my BC implant run out (2 years) and we'll revisit it then.
You?
Re: So when are you having kids?
We have names picked out for just in case such a thing should happen, but really, our furbabies are enough for us.
My partner's grandmother (who I have yet to meet) keeps asking the family when we're going to get married, 'cause she wants great-grandchildren before she goes. I don't quite see how getting married = babies, but I guess she's old school like that...
We would love to have children together, but with both our medical histories... Well, it's hard enough just to take care of the two of us and the cats.
I'd be ok with just having 1 child but that depends on if FSIL has any. (There's a big age difference between her and her husband.) I wouldn't want our child to have no siblings or even cousins.
DH wanted to be a "young" dad (he's 28, I'm 29) so we opted to TTC about 6 months into marriage. We're Catholic, so the NFP really helped with making TTC easy as pie.
Baby #1 (boy) will be here in 3 months.
I'm an only child and I know it's not very fun being an "only" as an adult (being the sole person responsible for my parents' care as they age, no siblings to have weekend BBQs with, no cousins on my side for my kids, etc, etc) so we'll probably have 1-3 more fairly close in age.
That being said, I have a lot of friends who have honeymoon babies. Just not my thing.
