I seem to have noticed that a lot of us are ttc, which is awesome-- babies are wicked cute! i'm wondering, though, are there any other nestbee's like me to who are not ttc at the moment? since i am a bit younger, and its my hubby's first time living away from the parents, we're waiting on the baby part for awhile (i'm 25, and i'd like to wait at least until i'm 29/30). Is anyone else like me?
we aren't.
I have so many friends having babies it has got me kind of wanting to but we are waiting. My husband is in school and we are going to wait until we he is finished, we are moved back home closer to our families, and it a better spot financially.
My husband and I aren't TTC either. He just turned 25 and I'm still 24. We want to work on getting settled in our careers, decide where we want to live, and work on our relationship more before getting babies! I want one though for sure!
We're 30, have been married 2 years and have 4 kids. I think we're pretty much done for awhile if not altogether!
Yeah, right now we are not TTC but in 6 months... I don't know. I'm 27 and DH is 28. So I want them somewhat soon. I hope to have kids by the time I'm 30.
We're not TTC. Maybe w/in the next year, given I can work out my menstrual issues and find a steady job. If not, well then we'll keep on waiting.
We're not TTC either. We're not ready yet (finances, insurance, school/jobs) and we're young. We want another 4 or so years. Although a few months ago I had some bad baby fever!
Me me me! We're not young or financially insecure but still not ttc....yet....i think.
I'm 31 and still not TTC. If it happens (which it shouldn't), I'd be totally fine with it....just not "trying" just yet.
We aren't- I'm 25 he's 30. I just made a career change and have about 2 years left in my program. It would be really difficult to add a child to the mix. We're just not financially there yet with student debt/mortgage
Nope, not trying here either. Ideally I would like to start trying by the end of next year, but realistically, itll probably be another 2-3 years. I'm 23 and DH is 25 and we're still working on school and career paths. I'd like to be done having babies by 30 and we are thinking we'd like to have two not too close together, so I want to get the ball rolling. Plus I have had baaaaad baby fever for over a year now. I'm past the "enjoy being married" part since we've lived together almost 2 1/2 years, married over a year. I'm still very happy to be married to my DH, but I feel we've had our "couple" time already! But that's just my biological clock buzzing I think
We aren't either - I'm still in school and DH wants to be settled first.
Instead we have a furbaby - and as rita rudner said "We were longing for the pitter-patter of little feet - the dog is cheaper and has more feet!"
We aren't. We need to wait at least another year. Moving halfways across the globe while pregnant or with a baby is not the best idea. We just want to enjoy being married first!
We're not! We're both 24 and Mr. Library is applying to get his Ph.D. We're thinking maybe we'll try when we get around 30. We just want to enjoy each other first, which is something a couple of our parents cannot seem to understand...
my DH and i aren't trying to concieve either (married feb. 1st 2010). we definetly want kids in the future, but we know that once you have a kid, you can never go back! there's still some things we'd like to do before kiddos.
We're not. We're 29/34, settled in careers, and would be fine if it happened by surprise, but we'd like to get in a house and be married for a second before we start having babies. I imagine we'll start "not trying not to conceive" late 2011 maybe?
We are not either! We are both 27, will turn 28 this coming year. We MIGHT start thinking about it when we turn 30. I just finally got started on my career last summer, so I want to enjoy some financial freedom for a little while to travel and spend time with my husband before bringing a child into our little family. I think we will be happier for it!
Not that it has stopped people from asking though! I asked to speak to my manager in her office to discuss opportunite for advanced practice nursing, and she thought I was meeting with her to tell her I was pregnant!!! LOL, no, not for a while, thanks :)
@iheartnerdyboys: We arent (im 28 and he is 27) We just got married in July and want t have atleast a year to just be us and spoil each other before we bring mini me's into the picture :) Although i am pretty sure we are the only ones out of our friends who arent...atleast it feels that way sometimes.
We're not either! We're both 24 and in no hurry. We've talked before that maybe when we're 30/31 we'll start, but when I brought it up recently my husband freaked out a bit that it's "only" 6 yrs away lol.
My husband and I are young still (24) and we're waiting for another 2-3... maybe 4 years because of my school/ career goals. There's just too much I need/ want to do: finish my graduate degree, obtain a masters degree and complete a one year residency (which will likely require moving). Although I would love to have a baby sooner, it's just not realistic with my other goals. Oh, and my students loans will likely be more than we spend on our first house when I graduate... with just my first graduate degree :/
Well I have a daughter already but Me and my Husband are not TTC we have talked about. I am happy with just the one child I have but my husband has always wanted one of his own he loves my daughter like his own and says he will be happy eitherway so it is something I have been doing alot of thinking about. I feel like everyone wants us to have a baby but me and him (even my daughter wants a sibling) and I know deep down he wants one. SO what do you do when everyone but you wants a baby? There are so many times I wish we would have one but Financially It will just not work how i want it to. I work alot of hours at work and I am gone alot .... I Miss afterschool time alot of times I miss dinner alot, i miss bathtime, bedtime etc. I miss my daughter so much sometimes and I tell my husband I do not want another kid that will just always miss mommy being around and be sad because mom cant be home for dinner or for bathtime etc..... I dont get to spend nearly enough time with my 1 kid or my husband and I want to be able to ... and how can i possibly spend time with 2 kids and a husband.
I am actively seeking out a better job with more stable work enviroment and hours and better opportunities and if this happens I definately hope we can really consider another child. I have said though if I dont have another one by the time I am 30 I dont want another. That is 4 years from now. I will be 30 and my husband will be 35. If we have not had another baby by then we wont.
We're not either - I'm in law school, so we're AT LEAST waiting until I graduate, and probably a few years after that so I can get a few years of solid work experience. Although... if it happened to happen on accident... that would be a really good excuse to quit law school and not have to study 24/7 anymore! Haha.
We aren't at the moment. We keep thinking we'll "pull the goalie" then chickening out at the last minute.
I am not married yet, but only have 15 days to go, so I am answering anyway! :-)
We are definitely NOT trying anytime soon. We will evaluate that in the next 3-4 years or so.
we're not either! i'm about to turn 27, hubby's 28. i just started a 6-7 year phd program, but we're thinking maaaaybe we'll start trying in 3-4 years-ish? my niece is 18 months old though and awful cute/really makes me want a baby like her! i need to spend some time with a colicky/cranky pants kid :P
We are not trying... we are both 26 and a few months married, but we want to wait a couple years. We didnt live together before marriage, so we are having fun getting used to each other first :)
We are NOT TTC for a few years. We're 27/30 and I always said I wanted babies when I'm 30 so hopefully that will work according to plan. For now, I have 1.5 years left in my PhD and we hope to do a lot more traveling/work abroad and settle in careers/home before children. If you feel baby fever coming on, spend a whole weekend with someone who has 1 or 2 young children and you will remember why you're not ready to TTC just yet.
Same here. Im 30; he's 32. I am not remotely interested in TTC rt now. He wants us to have our first in 3 yrs and Im not sure if im looking fwd to it then. Guess we shall see how things change in the next 3 yrs.
We've already been married a year and a half and are waiting until summer to TTC, right around our 2 year anniversary mark.
We are not trying now or even thinking about it! I'm in my late late twenties and he is in his early thirties. I have no maternal instinct or biological clock that has kicked in that makes me want to have a baby so I am waiting for that to happen before I think about having a baby. I see no point in having one just to have one because that is "what people do" (my mother's words).
We're not trying! it'll probably be another year or two before we do. we're 26 and just want to enjoy life newlywed life together. We're also hoping to travel as much as possible before the kiddies come.
Not even thinking about babies! We're young - 21/23 - and are looking to achieve some of our goals (MBA, PhD, and we LOVE to travel...) before we start down that road.
Seems like all of my friends who are married either have 1-2 kids or are trying... we feel like the oddballs :)
Not yet for us! We're 23 and 24 and don't feel the need to rush into parenthood quite yet (although we both want multiple kids). We're planning to start TTC in about 3-3.5 years.
Having been married sooo long maybe I shouldn't even be on the WB, but I'll answer anyway . .. No. We got married in 2006 after only knowing each other for 6 months. Then I was unemployed and finishing school. Then the economy went to crap and DH went through 3 rounds of layoffs and a two year job search before landing something with a more stable company. In the meantime I ended up unemployed -- long story -- again.
We thought we would have kids by now. Instead we have dogs. I am 34 and DH will be 38 in a couple of months. Maybe next year? I just found a job a couple of days ago and he has only been on his about 2 months. We both want to work a year before dealing with a pregnancy. The truth is most of my friends who didnt' have kids by 27 didn't end up having them until mid-30's, with most of the guys being in the late 30's. I don't think,, especially among people getting advanced degrees, this is terribly uncommon.

Were not TTC now either. Or anytime soon for that matter. Im 24 and we always said we wanted to wait at least 4 years after getting married before we had kids. Ill be 28 by that point and DH will be 31 so I think it will be a good time to start.
We aren't - and, much to the dismay of our parents, aren't planning to! *gasp!* ;) We are both 35... and are ok with our family being 'just us'. :)
Nope.
I like babies - especially when I can give them back to their parents at the end of the day.
Puppies, now... That's something else again.
