I've been under the weather for a few days. Nothing specific, mostly just tired. Couple that with the fact that I missed my cycle last month, and you've got one newlywed who is concerned that there might be something growing in her uterus. We've been married almost 2 months. And we are definitely not ready for a baby!
What about you, ready or waiting?
My hubby just told me with a smile and a cuddle on Saturday morning that he wants to pull the goalie! Woohoo!
Well I hope everything is ok, either way.
We are definitely NOT ready. We have been married..well..a month tomorrow. lol So not long. And we are both still attending college and working, no way are we ready. I can't wait til the day that we are though. I'm very excited for our future, but we have a long way to go.
Totally waiting. Mr. Peep starts grad school in two weeks, so we have two years before we can go down that road. But the good news- Mr. Peep is already starting to feel comfortable with the idea of having a baby- he he and so am I. But I won't go down that road until he has a full time job.
BTW- how very exciting!! I am sure mini-crab would love another crabette!!
We have just under 7 months to go before the wedding but DFi is already talking honeymoon baby!!
I hope everything is ok! We are waiting, about 1.5-2 years to start trying. Depending on some things we might start trying earlier but almost definitely not until were at our 1 year anniversary. We both want kids, but we do want to enjoy time together before we start trying.
Waiting... maybe talking about it in a couple years (when I'm 30). Sometimes (and by sometimes I mean always) I wish that your 20s could last for 2 decades! We haven't traveled enough as a couple, and work keeps us so busy that we haven't found a lot of time to. I'd love to see the world with Mr. Peng before we tried for a baby.
We're waiting, but it's the first time in my life that I thought it might be alright and everything would be okay if I did have a baby. It would certainly be tough though! As well as unexpected. Mrs. CrabCake - can you take a pregnancy test?
Definitely waiting. Hopefully like 5 years. I'm still in school and we are still working on fixing up our ONE bedroom home, so no room for a baby! We defiantly both want them when the time is right but now is not the right time! I hope everything works out for you.
I will...you are supposed to take it with the first morning void, so I'm waiting until the morning. I'll definitely keep y'all posted!
Ready! Well... at least I like to think we're ready... but to be honest, sometimes the thought of being knocked up *right now* instead of just in the abstract *soon* scares the crap out of me.
It's a good thing I have a bio clock that's finally kicked in, or otherwise I'd never get around to having kids!
Ooh, and I hope everything is ok with you CC!
Waiting til after the wedding! But just last night, I was reading about the importance of prenatal vitamins even up to 5 years before you start trying, and then it hit me like a ton of bricks! Haha!
Also, I feel more nervous about getting pregnant now than I did before I got engaged. Strange!
We'll be waiting. We're ready, but we've also got other things we want to accomplish first (namely, finish school, but also spend more time together with just the two of us). Probably will be at least a few years before we start trying.
We're not married yet, but if we were ready we'd pull the goalie regardless. (By the way, that is TOO funny Nicgac! My IUD has now been named The Goalie. That's brilliant.) We are NOT, however, ready just yet. Like Cheerful, for the first time in our lives it would be ok if it happened but we're not looking for it. I want to be settled and have a house before chillins come along. My fiance went to something like 8 different schools and lived it half a dozen states. I pretty much had the same classmates for grades 1-12 and lived within 2 miles of the house my parents lived in when I was born until I left for college. I want my childhood for our kids, not so much his.
And sending good thoughts your way CC!
Waiting, waiting, waiting! We are young, broke, and nomadic right now. We definitely want to settle in our careers a bit, pick a city to stay in, save some money, and travel before we go there. Good luck Mrs. CC!
We're waiting. Going back to grad school means that I've got at least another year and a half before I'm working full time again. We simply can't afford it and I can't imagine being able to focus on my program AND a baby any time soon. We definitely want to buy a house first.
Good luck Mrs. CC! let us know.
Waiting!! We're not even sure we'll ever want to not be waiting....I love all my god-babies dearly but with only 2 months of marriage under our belts we'll def. be waiting a few years before even discussing it again (when I'm 35).
Waiting. We actually already made a list about all of the things we want to do before we have kids during our minimoon.
Pull the goalie- ha, I love it!
We're waiting but only 'til the end of the year I think. Would very much like a '10 baby, and after 6+ years together, we're both feeling like next year could be our year.
Good luck Mrs. CC!
I'm ready for a baby, and hubby really wants one too, but we're waiting. He's more practical than I, or else we'd be trying already!
@Mrs. CC One day I had posted on my facebook that I was more tired than usual, even after a good night's sleep, and my aunt replied saying that's how she felt when she got preggo the first time. Fingers crossed for you though!
It's funny, we are both ready but we both think that we should wait at least a year to give ourselves time to settle into our marriage. But we talk about wanting a baby at least once a week!
I'm not really ready. I feel like I want to travel a bit and I just really started my career. FI wants a baby NOW. Seriously, he brings it up almost daily. Um...hellooooo? Can we bring up the WEDDING first!? Emotionally, though I think I could handle it. I'm just wanting to be selfish for a while.
Good luck Mrs CC!
We're in the defensive mode (ie: using a goalie), but I stopped taking birth control last month due to blood pressure issues (it's going down!!! slooooooowwwwwllllyyyyy, but DOWN!). I've considered an IDU, but we're probably about 2-3 years from trying for a baby. We're not looking for it to happen, but it wouldn't be the end of the world if it did...
Boyfriend and I were talking about house-building stuff the other day, and he mentioned that his plan for this house was to build this fall, get married next summer, and pull the goalie 2 years from now. Then we'll have a kid, and about 7 years from now sell the house and buy a bigger one to go for kid #2. It made me laugh! I didn't tell him that it doesn't always work according to his schedule!
We're ready and hoping for a positive preggo test in the very near future!!! I've already started taking prenatal pills to get a head start!
Ready, but not really trying. If it happens right now, that's cool, but if not, no big deal. I think we may put a more effort in a couple years if nothing happens.
My mom told me last week that she had a dream I told her I was pregnant. Weird.
We'd like to wait a year. I'd like to wait until we get a house and sell his condo but he's underwater. We can't wait too long since I'll be 36 when we get married.
Waiting! I'm ready now, or even willing to wait a year. Right now the timeline is 3.5 years. It's come down from 5 in the past year, though, so we're re-evaluating frequenly. Some days I'm ready, some days I want to wait ... but I think about it every day! (Then DH reminds me that it's 3.5 years!)
@deviledegg becareful of dreams that your parents have like that. Somehow it always seems that in my family that the mom's know the actual parents of the soon to be baby.
Definitely not ready and definitely waiting. I'll be 24 when we get married, FI will be 27. I really want to wait unitl I'm 30, and FI really wants to be debt-free before we have kids. FI has A LOT of school loans to pay off, so by the time I'm 30 we should be debt-free and baby-ready! Right now, I'm enjoying OPK...Other People's Kids!!
Ready. We're in our 30's and are feeling the clock ticking. Waiting to actually get married though, so I guess we'll think about a honeymoon baby.
We're waiting, although it's true what other's have said about feeling like, for the first time ever, if it were to happen-we'd be ok with it. Our preference is to get our debt paid off by next summer, save up a decent amount in savings, travel a bunch next year and either aim for late 2010 or 2011.
I hope everything's ok! SKipping a cycle would freak me out if i had one.
We're waiting...but only until we get news from the doctor next month. If he says do it now, we're throwing the BC out the window. Ideally, he'll tell us we can wait until June 2010 to try to conceive as we'd originally planned. But, that's in a perfect EJS world
Is it bad that we're giving our fertility specialist final say? lol. Now, 6 months down the road, ah, whatever. I'm so worried I won't be able to have one I'd rather just have one now!
CC have you taken a preggo test? Or is it too early? I'd assume since you skipped last months' period and you're feeling weird, I'd be running to Walgreens asap!
Ohhh boy cc! Any updates?! We had a similar scare last month. I know the feeling. We inadvertently "pulled the goalie " (heheh that makes me giggle) due to a refill error with the drug store and yeah...panic! We do want to travel a bit and settle down before we try. I dont want to be a nomad jumping from place to place with a baby...especially in NYC (get me outta here!) So I'd say we'll give it a go in a year or two
Also waiting...but sometimes I do get that urge to be a momma.
I have baby fever, but part of it is all of our friends, 3 of my sorority sisters and my sister in law are all pregnant and/or just had a baby. My guy is taking a big test that will determine his future for his career path in October. If he passes we'll discuss starting to try for a baby in January 2010. If he doesn't we'll wait until he takes the test again in spring 2010. My guy wants to feel financially secure before we start baby making. If I had it my way we'd be making a baby on our honeymoon!
READY!!! Soooo ready! We have been married a week and 3 days! We ar going to start trying durnig our honeymoon in sept.
Waiting! We have just moved to a new place, I have no job yet, and want to go back to grad school before we start a family. Just like we enjoyed being engaged for a while, we are going to enjoy being married for a while before starting a family.
Ready! We also have been married for just 2 months so right now we are taking the approach that if it happens then great but we are not really trying per se. Goalie is out of the game though! : )
Waiting, for roughly 5 years. I'm hoping to soak up the time as much as possible. It's hard when you want to spend your money traveling and living up your twenties, but know you should save for baby time!
