Am I weird? Wait, don't answer that ....

Ok, I know I'm weird. Always have been, always will be.
But ....
I'm starting to get really obsessed with having a baby right now. My divorce isn't even final yet (I'm guessing about 8 weeks or so?), I don't have a boyfriend, will be starting a new job in a few weeks, have just rented a new apartment, have no savings, no nothing, and it's all I can think about it? What is wrong with me?
Any amateur psychologists want to take a stab at this one? lol.

It sounds like normal biological clock ticking. Just don't go and *get* pregnant due to this current obsession. Parents have a hard time when everything in the relationship is perfect (or seems perfect), they have a home, two cars and are emotionally and financially stable. Take any one of those factors away and having a baby turns from joyous to scary. The best time to have a baby is when you have things lined up to not only take care of the baby (preferably by two committed parents), but also when things in your life are settled and you know that no matter what, your baby will have a bright and secure future. Also, picking a father for your baby is no small task. Look at all the women on this board and what they have to deal with when their child's father is out of the picture, or in the picture making life miserable. Don't go there if you don't have to.

No, I feel the same way. I think (actually, I know) it's because I don't want to be *alone*. I got the baby fever in 2003...wasn't married yet, just engaged. It just doesn't make sense though! Our marriage has never been stable, why in the world would I want a baby with my idiot husband? I'm 25 though...I'm scared that I'll never be a mommy now. It's silly, I'm still fairly young. Yet, I'm still over-reacting! I have to remind myself that in a couple of years I'll find my Mr. Right and be in a healthy marriage. Then I can have my desparately wanted babies. Try to focus on *you* right now. :-)
