We're too old..... both 50 and we have 4 kids between us, so we're "done"!!!!!

Good luck to all those who are trying and best wishes to those who are pregnant.

And... to the OP..... enjoy each other for as long as you can.... once the kids come, they become the main focus of your lives. Sad sometimes, but very true, so enjoy your "alone time" now.

:D someone's broody!! hehe

I already have kids they are a total joy. I think you know when your ready. My first pregnancy was a 'surprise' and shock. The shock of being pregnant soon disappeared and was overridden by the total change in my body :hehe: If your ready for that your ready for anything!! Get ready to throw those skinny clothes out for a good while. By the way get ready to be embarrased like never before at any opportunity kids will say whatever is on their mind whenver they want :innocent:

I already have two kids from my previous marriage. I think that's enough. My finace doesn't want kids. He accepts my kids, becuase they are a part of my life, and if he wants to be with me, he'll end up being around them as well.

Part of the reason I'm making plans to move there with him is becuase it'll give us some "us" time to just be a couple together before we move back and add kids into the mix.

I say, enjoy your time with just him, becuase after the kids it'll be pretty rare.

But when we turn to the Hebrew literature, we do not find such jokes about the donkey. Rather the animal is known for its strength and its loyalty to its master (Genesis 49:14; Numbers 22:30).

We both want kids so much....i find myself playing with other people's babies(in the store, mall, at work,etc). I am 32 now and hubby will be 30 soon so no time like the present, besides the inlaws are stuck on this topic of " When"?, "Any good news yet?", Will I have grandkids/great grandkids before I die?" Shesssh the pressure. So here's hoping.

Besides all I hear lately is you two are going to make beautiful babies. People on the street see us together and they are like awwww you two make a beautiful couple and you are going to have beautiful babies, these people don't even know us and they come up to us and say that.

Poll is a bit flawed. We aren't a yes or no, but a maybe.

Between the two of us we have six boys :wacko: . We discussed early on in our relationship that we DID not need anymore children. In the last six months my darling husband has mentioned, that it might be nice to have one together. I agree to an extent, which is more in past terms it WOULD have been nice. We swing back and forth now on this topic, and have decided it can wait another year or two until we have had time together and are financially set. I am going on 36 this year, my time is drawing to an end, so it has to happen soon if it happens at all. The thought of having one of our own is lovely, but diapers, bottles, childbirth, and no less than 18 years of raising another is not so appealing. The decision is probably easier than we think, especially considering my mother stated she would kill us both! :lol: Hey though having a girl for a change might be interesting, but with our luck it would be another boy and we would officially have a baseball team.
