I'm not really a girly girl. I neve...You know me... I'm not really a girly girl. I never really had a thought on the baby subject either way, but a few years ago I had a miscarriage (not knowing I was pregnant), and I felt a huge sense of loss. Though now I'm back to not having a thought either way. I'm gonna wait until I find a man with good genetic material that's worthy of combining with mine. Brad Pitt's not returning my calls...<BR/><BR/>I was surprised at my high school reunion by how many women were married. I guess the whole marriage-children deal is what a lot of women want, and want to do it while they're still young. There's something to be said for that: my mom had me at 36, and I think I would've appreciated a mom with a bit more stamina.<BR/><BR/>Where was I going with this comment? No idea.

I think it's biological. ...You're totally normal. I think it's biological. I never even really liked kids, but somewhere in my early 20s, I started thinking that having kids might be something I wanted to do, and not necessarily in the distant future! That said, I didn't have Sydney until I was 28. There was a lot of talking, thinking, and a couple of false starts before the pregnancy test came back positive. Plus Bill & I didn't get married until I was 25.<BR/><BR/>As for waiting until you're ready - believe me, you're never ready! But you make it work, no matter what the situation is, and it's wonderful. I am, however, glad that I waited until my late 20s to have kids. I was able to travel, be a crazy career-obsessed person for awhile, and enjoy a couple kid-free years of marriage.<BR/><BR/>Can you tell I have a lot to say on this subject? ;-)knittinmomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03083582930684730242noreply@blogger.com
