I want to figure out me first. I want to figure out my relationship with Steven first. I feel like I have so much in life to explore and to understand and a baby doesn't fit into that just now. Sometimes, when I see my friends with their babies (and the cute baby onesies and the cute baby blankets), I feel a twinge. And then I remember that I'm 25. I have plenty of time.
I know that I'll enjoy being a mother and that I'll love my children, but I'm in no hurry. And though I certainly feel pressure from time to time to start a family, I keep reminding myself to be patient.
When it's supposed to happen... when it's time... I'll know. And it's just not time right now.
Ditto! I'm the oldest of seven kids (and 26) and I feel so much pressure to get pregnant right away after I get married in September. I really want to take some time to enjoy married life first, but I know everyone will be asking me on the daily when I'm going to get pregnant. Do you, girl!
ReplyDeleteI waited until 29 and am so glad I did. It gave the hubby and I several years of partying together and traveling on a whim. Things we cannot do now. Life changes drastically when you have kids. I love being a mom but am glad I had those fun, carefree days.
ReplyDeleteI just got married in September and I'm already feeling the pressure to have kids. It seems like everyone around me is! But you're right...you have to figure out you first. There is plenty of time for that.
ReplyDeleteWord, girl. Word.
