Thanks for sharing all of your 'stories' from yesterday's question. I guess I should add my name to the 'I want my Mommy' list as well. Unfortunately, she is down in North Carolina. I haven't even told her about this round of doctor appointments and tests, I don't want her to worry.
Yesterday some of you brought up baby doctor appointments. Soooooooo
Do you have or want children? Is DH on the same page? Please share parents prodding if applicable.
So, I want children. Three boys and a girl. Unless we end up needing fertility treatments, I don't think this is going to happen. At this point, a healthy baby is the goal. DH is on the same page. I know this for a fact because when I showed him the smiley face on the OPK despite having really bad back pain, initiated the baby dance!! My MIL and her sister are BUGGING, REALLY BUGGING us about it. I get more from the Aunt actually. Like I'd tell her before my MIL if I was preggers. Do you have any idea what kind of war that would start????
Happy Hump Day everyone!!

We both want kids, however we're waiting until we have a house first (and I want to run a marathon before I have kids!) So probably another 2-3 years.

Nope, no way, uh uh!
We talked about it early on...we are 100% on the same page.
He likes kids but doesn't want the responsibility. I straight-up find most kids to be irritating.
My parents don't pressure us. His are more in the school of thought that we will.
I want my tubes tied.
This!
Except I like kids just don't want any for myself and he.... well..... he just doesn't like them at all.

We want to have kids but we are waiting a couple of years.
We both need to have better job security, we also would like to have a home & I would ideally like to be a stay at home mom for a couple of years so we will have to save up some money.

Yes Eventually... I'm in no rush. I think DH would have one now if I was up for it but he's not pushing for it either.
When the times right we'll know. For now we are just going to be NW's and enjoy our newest little furbaby

Re: NWQOTD Humpday, October 27th
I never wanted kids until my mother passed away. The bond that we had together made me realize that I want that. She used to keep a journal in the back of my baby book and wrote from the heart how much she loved me and how amazing it is to be a mom. I really wanted to take care and watch my son or daughter grow.
My DH really wanted a baby too. We weren't getting any younger and felt immediately we wanted a baby or two! I must tell you that I didn't expect to get pregnant this quickly but I'm glad that my son will be joining our little family in four months. I feel complete again.

Yes we absolutely want children-in fact, I'm 24 1/2 weeks pregnant with a yummy baby boy!
DH and I are both on the same page with wanting 2 bambinos. We don't care if we have 2 boys or 1 of each. Truly, you go through so much crazy testing while you're preggo, all you really care about is that your baby is healthy.

Re: NWQOTD Humpday, October 27th
I've been getting baby fever A LOT lately...then reality sets in and I know right now is not the time for us to have children. DH is fully aware that we are not having kids for a few years and he is cool with it.

Re: NWQOTD Humpday, October 27th
We go back and forth. The thought of something growing inside of me freaks me out a little (I know I know I have issues). We have always said we'll try at some point and if it happens great, if not we'll look into adoption or just get lots of mini schnauzer friends for Darwin We do want to travel a lot more before we try, we know there are certain places you don't take the kids on vacation and we're not ready to give that up just yet.
ETA: As for family pressure my mom calls the small bedroom room next to ours 'the nursery' and two months before the wedding she asked if we were going to have kids soon so she could be a grandmother. She likes to remind me she had 4 children by the time she was my age (30). She's only 50! I don't know why she wants to be a grandmother so badly!
and for MIL she told me I shouldn't have children so I guess no pressure there

Well we already have one (my 10 1/2 year old stepson) and a on the way! Thbis will probably be it for us jsut because we cant afford anymore kids and we dont have any room for more.

Re: NWQOTD Humpday, October 27th
DH and I are both on the same page that we do not want kids. Every now and then I change my mind, but then I visit my friends who have kids and I am right back to not wanting them again.
