Warning: this is going to be a venting post...so bear with me...
I am so tired of people asking me: "When are you gonna have a kid?" "Why don't you have a baby yet?" "When are you gonna have kids?" I am asked all the time...adding the: "You're not getting any younger." statement---which doesn't help the situation. My co-workers ask me too...I love my co-workers, but it is getting old.
I get it...I am 30...I have been married for 8 years...no kids...and 14 of my friends are having babies (3 are on their 1st, 4 are on their 2nd, 3 are on their third, 1 is on their 4th, 2 are on their 5th, and 1 is having babies 1 & 2--twins)...I am VERY aware about people having babies all around me...I really don't want to be reminded of it every day...
I am okay with it...My husband and I will make the decision together...and it shouldn't rely on other people's opinions of when I should have a baby...
My husband and I are talking amongst the two of us---because we are the people that have to make that decision together, right??? RIGHT???
I know I will be a great mama one day...and I have been learning so much in these 8 years that I haven't had one...so, I think that these years not having a baby is allowing me to learn more about what it takes to care for and have a baby...I would rather be prepared than be thrown into it with no knowledge...
so thanks for y'all's concern, but I am just fine...and you will be the first to know if I am having a baby...
