lately i've really been wanting to be pg. my ds is three and i always knew that if i two kids i'd want them to be close in age. the problem is not only i'm i not married but i've only been dating the man i'm with for four months. i'm only 22 so there is plenty time for me but he is 32 and has two kids he says he wants another one but only if he has one in the next couple of years so i don't know if it will happen. cause we both want to be married before having a child but we haven't been together long enough to be married. guess i'll just have to hit my inner clock over the head with a hammer for now. but every time i see a baby i just ache for one. not that i'm fanically able to have a child right now i still live at home.

you are so young. Enjoy everything you have and are able to do with just one child. I have been getting that baby bug too, but I am 35. However, I also miss being able to do things on the spur of the moment. Enjoy the time you guys have now. You have too much time before that biological clocks starts ticking louder. But I understand how that feeling between the ages of 22 and 26 get the best of us. Enjoy other peoples babies right now, you can give them back when they start crying. My friend just had triplets and I get my baby fix by going over there and listening to her and here husband argue about what is best for the babies. That is when I thank the lord that I am single.

hit my inner clock over the head with a hammer for now... Yeah, I guess that's the answer huh? I occasionally feel this way...but mostly, as I am close to 30 and my only child is now 10, I can't IMAGINE starting over. I have a few reasons for wanting a child, and many more for not wanting to go there. So, I guess I'll see how it goes with my Dh and what he wants.


It's good that you know already that the man you are dating is not opposed to more children. Now you can relax and just enjoy HIM and see how things go, because that question is already "out there" and answered.
