spinoff to baby fever

I just need to vent/need some suggestions...
So I have the worst baby fever ever! I have always wanted a baby more than anything, I am an infant teacher and I am always taking care of all the babies at family parties, I guess one can say im a baby addict hahaha
Anyways, I want a baby now and DH wants to wait and its putting some stressors on our relationship lately. We are attempting to buy a house so Im ok with waiting until we move in but I really would like to be pregnant by the end of the year. (Im also going to be 30 in Novemeber so I would like to start soon). But my DH is just so scared about being able to afford a kid. We both have stable jobs. Its a never ending battle and I dont know what to do. I feel like there is never the perfect time to have babies, we are never going to be millionaires!

Me and DH have the same issues! i would have been prego even before the wedding if it were up to me! its just what i want most in life...a family! i could care less about having a wonderful career, and we already have done a lot of traveling. Not that DH doesnt want that either, but he is in no rush...we agreed that we would start next year, but im ready to start now!

He always was like 'when we get a house' well we just got a house! and i know we are going to be broke once we are in the house, cuz mortgage is expensive, but i told him im not letting that be an excuse to wait longer! for the main reason WE ARE ALWAYS GOING TO BE BROKE! LOL unless one of us wins the lotto, or changes jobs (which in the ecomony i dont think is such a good idea at the moment)

it has helped that ive been bringing DH around babies alot more these last few months! LOL i think altho he will never admit it, he sorta has baby fevor too!

but really you gotta find a compromise between the two of you. because when you find out you are the two of you's both reactions should be happy! not 'holy crap how are we going to afford a baby'

it will work out! i hear all the time from family that everything works out, and you will find a way to make it work!

Thanks! I know it will work out, and its not that he doesnt want kids its just hes so fearful of being able to afford them. I guess time will tell and we'll know when we are both ready, i just hope its sooner than later haha
