My husband thinks I am crazy

There are babies everywhere! Friends having babies, friends finding out they are expecting, everywhere I turn there are babies! I love babies, I always have. I have always dreamed of the day when I would become a mother. I learned from the best, so I hope to think I will be a good mother as well. Unfortunately, my husband is not quite as anxious to start a family. To his credit, he is still in school so now is not the ideal time to make babies.

We went for a walk tonight, i love it when he makes me get off my lazy booty and get out and enjoy the day with him! As we were walking, an overwhleming feeling attacked me. I want to be a mother! I want to be pregnant! I crave it. I yearn for it. I am not patient! In his ever laid back and sweet tempered way, he calmed me down and helped me rationalize the situation. All of our friends that are pregnant or are having children also have the husband being the primary breadwinner in the family. He really wants to complete school and experience what it would be like to fully provide for us before we bring a child into this world. He is completely aware that no one can be fully prepared for a child, one can at least try to have their ducks in a row. All of his points make sense, I just wish I could be pregnant for the next couple of years and then have the baby when we are ready.

But until then, I will keep dreaming and praying. We came to a sort of compromise......

Brad has one year left of school, and I will be 28 when he graduates. If we give ourselves 6 months after graduation to get pregnant, and say we get pregnant in June of 2009.....then we would have a baby in march of 2010! That sounds soooooo far away, but I think thats it the plan at this point. So check back in a couple of years, and maybe my dreams will come true!
