Hearing about a couple who are makes me wonder just how many others are doing it too lol If you feel this is too personal, please don't answer. I don't want to pry into anyone's personal business, just know that some people enjoy sharing this stuff.

So, are you trying, trying really hard or possibly pregnant right now? For you January brides, will you try on your HM? 08 babies! How exciting!

Re: 08'ers...are you pregnant or trying?

funny you should bring that up.. i have been having baby fever lately and i think mainly becuase 3 of FH and I's cousins have given brith in the past year and im surronded by beautiful babies.. but since babysitting and stuff like that ive fullfilled that desire.. but then on christmas eve im sitting at work reading US weekly and i pass by the horoscopes and decided to read whats in store for me in 08! .. well it says ' if your in a serious relationship you should consider having a baby and if you stop trying so hard it will happen faster!' so i kinda just giggled to myself and forgot about it.. then i go to dinner at my in-laws with one of the older new babies and they all start talking about how they cant wait for FH and i to start. and next year we could be sitting there as EXPECTING PARENTS! well after everyone left for the night i was telling FH about the horoscope (since we share a horoscpe) and what his aunt had said to us. and he just laughed and say MAYBE?? hes the one wanting to wait and for very understandable reasons but i think by him being around all of the babies hes realzing how fun and exciting it is not SCARY!!! so im excited maybe well have a honeymoon baby!

sorry for the book just thought id share!

Glad to see that all couples have at least talked about it. That was one thing in Pre-Cana they really discussed with us. FH and I know that we will definitely NOT try for a HM baby and want at LEAST a full year of marriage before a baby.

Re: 08'ers...are you pregnant or trying?

We want to make it through wedding season (so end of summer) and then we are going to start trying. I can't imagine trying to go to all the weddings we go to every year AND being pregnant. We are 'officially' trying in August

Re: 08'ers...are you pregnant or trying?

We both really want a baby and I suggested a HM baby to FH and he agreed but honestly I think we will end up waiting for a little while at least. We don't even have an apartment of our own!!! LOL

FH wants kids-- but I don't think I do. As a matter of fact some days I'm adamant about not wanting children-- some days I'm thinking maybe- but I think it's all for the wrong reasons-- maybe when our friends and families start I'll get baby fever...but for now- no babies here!

It's definately an important issue for you to discuss. It wouldn't be fair to either of you to compromise on something as big a deal as children.

LOL...wow...I don't know about nutz...do you guys live together now or are waiting till after the wedding? I say enjoy each other first but I am a little bit older bride (30) so I couldn't have imagined having baby when I was 24. If you feel ready than go for it...they say its easier when you are under 30.

I would like a baby too but I need to get into my dress, lol .....we spoke about trying towards the end of this year after the wedding...By then we would have been together for almost 5 and a half years lived together for over 2....not much bonding left to do haha....

Agreed. We've had major discussions about it. (some have ended up in posts on here!) And for a while it was a really sore subject- but FH and I talked about it and he decided that he'd rather be with me and not have children then be with someone else and have them-- so- we'll figure it out some day!

I'm afraid to talk about it during pre cana though- the preist was so adamant about there being no other reason than procreation to get married. eek!

well if you guys are both on the same page then go for it! but i think you guys will want time to yourselves first! we want to be 'young' parents as well (were only 22) but we've been together 5 years in april so i feel like we've really had 'our' time and then it will be time for a family! but hey i think the most important thing is that you guys both want the same things at the same times!

For awhile I didn't even want to think about children. But I think I might have had too much on my plate to be thinking of adding something else. Now with school over I'm really looking forward to it. Sometimes it's the timing. You may think you don't want a baby now but that may change. It's good that you discussed it already.

ETA: I mentioned that before because FH said he wouldn't marry me if we weren't going to have children so it can be a sore topic. I don't think he's wrong for feeling that way. He's always wanted children.

Re: 08'ers...are you pregnant or trying?

We'll probably start trying after about 2 years... and since so many females in my family have trouble TTC it still might be 4-5 years before we actually have one. And that's ok... we're both young, and agree that we'd like some time to ourselves and to enjoy our careers that we've worked so hard for as well. Plus, it would be nice to save up some $ as well before the babies come...

Re: 08'ers...are you pregnant or trying?

Trying really hard NOT to get pregnant.

I'd like some time as husband and wife before being mom and dad. I told FH we need to celebrate at least 1 year married before we start to try.

i am a Jan o8 bride i would like at least one full year with just husband and I but I am 32 and husband to be is 35 so waiting a year may not be the best thing so we might try right away

I am 33 and I feel the same way. I think it is best for us to start trying right away for physical reasons, but FH really wants to wait. I would like to wait too, but I don't want to risk any difficulties! I wish he understood....

yeah we've lived together for 7 months. (including 2 with the FMIL) YIKES! & We survived! lol. but i feel like ive known him for 100 years. Sooo crazy. I know. we're buying the house we're living in from my father & I can't imagine anything else besides next christmas having a belly with our baby :)
i know most ppl including our friends say we should wait. but hey.
i guess we'll just be less careful if you know what I mean.

well if you guys are both on the same page then go for it! but i think you guys will want time to yourselves first! we want to be 'young' parents as well (were only 22) but we've been together 5 years in april so i feel like we've really had 'our' time and then it will be time for a family! but hey i think the most important thing is that you guys both want the same things at the same times!

I told him, no earlier then the honeymoon. After the honeymoon - OK. but not now...
Too crazy, plus I dont want extra stress before the wedding --- yeah i hear you- if we're on the same page thats all that matters
