Wedding: July 2012

Hi Bees! I need to get some outsiders perspective right now please. 🙂

DH and I have been married now for a couple months, and I never in a million years thought I’d be struck so soon by baby fever. People kept telling me it would probably happen, but I always said “No way, we won’t be TTC for at least a few years!” Ah so why am I here today??

I can’t get babies out of my head! DH and I discussed TTC this weekend, and we still have not come to a decision. DH is 25 and I am 23. He started his career last year. I am currently working, and I have one college degree right now – but will be starting another program in January 2013. The program will be two years. I just cannot imagine waiting to have a baby for another few years.

I just keep thinking, “Maybe I could just finish school while pregnant/ having a child..” But I see many people say that, and then they don’t finish school. (Not all, but some.)

School is very important to me, and I just don’t know what to do at this time.

I’ve always wanted to be a young parent (my parents were 19 when they had me) so I was raised with young parents and just loved it.

But, really – what would you do in my situation? Should we put it in God’s hands.. or purposely wait?

I know this decision is entirely up to DH and I, however, I would just like to get some different perspectives.

Thanks bees 🙂

It is so hard to tell someone else what they should do. And frankly, in the end, you will do what you want anyway. 🙂 However for arguments sake, if it were me, I would wait until I finished school. You will still be young. Being pregnant is hard enough, but having an infant while you are in school seems impossible (although so does being a single mom and people do it…) I just don’t think it sound ideal. Your priorities shift soooo much when you are having a baby and it is very likely you will end up not finishing school. If you had an oops and had to make it happen, you could, certainly, but why put yourself and the baby through that when you could wait 2 years and then be able to focus on your child. I was raised by young parents too but waited until I was 34 to have kids so I am a little biased. Even though it was partly because I hadn’t found the right guy yet, when I look back, I can’t IMAGINE trying to do this while I was so young and in school. Just my opinion but, really, do what you think is best for you, the potential baby and your husband. Just don’t get caught up in the idea without thinking through the pros and cons. 🙂 Best of luck to you!
