I am 26, and I have been with my current boyfriend for 5 years now. He is finally graduating college in may and we plan to get engaged next summer. He wants to next, not this, because he has been working retail throughout college and the pay is...minimal. So that way he has a year+ to save up a bit. I have been graduated for two years, have a terrific career as a recruiter, and I am financially set. I have not had a desire to have children..Ive always said I didnt want them until I was 35. Plus, all i've ever worried about is my career. Now all of the sudden though, I have had these strange thoughts ALL THE TIME.
I always wonder what it's like to be pregnant...It's almost like having cravings for chocolate. I cant have kids right now (rationally). I dont know if this is some sort of biological urge or what it is, but it's been strong enough to send me to a message board to ask about it! Plus, I keep thinking I really REALLY want a dog...maybe this is connected??? I live in a house with a roommate, and I keep thinking about how badly I want to live on my own...and with him (the BF). I dont know if this is biological, women type things....all of these baby thoughts. I think a lot about getting married too. Even though I know it isnt practical right now. I really want to get married. I love him and he's the one I want to marry, and he honestly cant afford it right now, but its always in the back of my mind.
My biggest question is this baby thing... It started about 3 months ago. I will be in bed and I will wonder what it would be like to be pregnant, or I will wonder what if I am, and it happens practically daily. Its this strong desire to have a baby ... its so weird. Oh, and all of the sudden I've become a homebody as well. I used to want to go out all the time, now I want to stay in. I go out like once a week max, and I feel repulsed by the idea of going out... maybe I am just growing up :) It's just weird how it's hit me all at once.
Any input??? Can anyone relate? I am just curious. All of the sudden I think about having babies, feel repulsed about going out, and think ALOT about getting married??? What is going on here! ;)
