After having lunch with my husband today I got to thinking about my bucket list (aka the things you want to do before you die). I know that could be a positive or negitive thought., but everyone has things on their list of things they want/need to do.
Simple things on mine: read more books (I have a list), run a martion, grow a veggie garden, take dance classes, take cooking classes, learn more about my family....
Long term: Own my own business, have a cabin on a lake, travel to Hawaii, go to Vegas every year for the rest of my life.....
But when talking to my husband after being a resturant with many kids running around, "Do we really want to go through that?". We have talked about it many times and its always something we planned in the distant future. But that time seems to get pushed later and later by both of us.... a year after being married, 3 years after being married, 2009, 2010, 2011? Now we have only been married for 1 year, but have been dating 6 years. I guess the statement," I would be ok if we never had kids." from his lips surprised and made me think.....
Would I be ok without kids? Is having children just something I feel like I HAVE to do because that is what YOU do?
I love my husband and even felt a little selfish when he gives the puppy more time than me ... lol! But I dont have that NEED to have kids right now...will that change? Im SO content with my life right now, but I see so many friends of mine starting to have that itch for babies.....
Still thinking....... baby or no baby for me?
Don't let yourself feel as though you HAVE to get that baby itch because friends of yours are having it! Enjoy your life and it will partially take you on a surprise journey no matter what.
LaurenIf you eventually want to take the plunge, cool - go for it! If you never do, even cooler! Keep loving your husband, family, friends and doing what makes you feel fulfilled in life.
