So I'm just curious how everyone else's FH or DH feels about having babies after the wedding..... Are they freaked out by the idea? Do they want to wait waaaaay longer than you?
I want to wait a year but DH jokes that cars will fly when we have kids I know he is just kidding and we spoke about it, and 4 years is good for him but that's SOOO LONG from now!! I love all the LIW ladies but I would love to be a LIIF member as well

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
we said that we want to wait 1-2 years before just to get ourselves settled and i nbetter jobs. right now we use the pill and condoms so after the wedding we are ecutting down on one and then if something happens then it happens but we aernt going to TRY until at least a year or two

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
We actually want to start having a baby right away, god willing. FH will be 33 by our wedding and I will be turning 33 a month after so we don't want to wait any longer. We are both a little freaked out but at the same time we can't wait to start a family together.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
It makes DH physically ill to talk about babies! LOL I would like to wait a year or two but he can't even THINK about kids. We really don't like kids so its hard to think about our own LOL
I feel like lately it is the MEN who want the babies first, but definitely not MY DH.
Last night we were watching Jon and Kate plus eight and he actually got ANGRY watching it and just kept asking why I would want to destroy our lives like that. . . he thought she accidentally got pregnant with 6 after using fertility drugs, he didn't understand that they were implanted and all of them 'stuck' he was like WHAT IF THAT HAPPENS TO US!!!! seriously panicking!

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
FH and I are totally ready to have kids. Sometimes I think him more than me. However, the only thing holding us back from actively TTC like right after the wedding is my job. I'm getting a promotion in Sept, I'd only be able to take the 3 months maternity leave then come back. We both would like to save up enough money that i'd be able to stay home with my child for at least the 1st year. If at all possible. But we're taking the 'whatever happens, happens' approach

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
we both agreed that we want to have a baby in 2 years. So maybe start trying a year after the wedding. But he also said maybe I should go off the pill after the wedding and just see what happens. We are not financially ready so I dont see that happening lol.
Buttt when his with friends he says things like when we are 45!!

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
FH first told me he wants 5 kids... i told him to get another wife...
we agreed on 2 def... hoping for 3
we also agreed that we will possibly try when he is 30ish (thats in 2 years) and ill be 28ish
in 2 years we would have been together for 7 years... frankly im REALLY scared to be a mommy. there are times that i woudl love the idea... then i get REALLY scared.
hopefully in 2 years we will be ready and have a little family in 5 years.
Soon 2b Mrs Bev

I don't want anymore children. I have my one angel. That's enough for me.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
FH and I agreed to wait about 3-4 years before we start trying. Every time I see a cute baby though... it makes me not want to wait. but, I have friends that already have kids... and they always feel like they are missing out when we all go out and they have to stay home. So, that reassures me that we should wait a little bit to do the things we really want before we devote our lives to children.

Fh is freaked about kids, but he promised we can start trying by the time im 30 (3 yrs). My sister will be getting married right around my 29th birthday so im planning on jumping him after my sister wedding lol. I would jump him sooner but i dont wanna be at her wedding.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
Right now we've agreed to wait a year to start trying. Mostly becuase of our living situation and my job situation (I'm a consultant). We don't want to wait too long since I'll be 33 when we get married and he'll be 34. A few weeknds ago he actually wanted to start trying after the wedding.

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
i dont think we are ready YET ... he feels the same way. I am 24 so I'd like to be pregnant by 27ish ... work is just not accomodating of a baby at the moment and we want to be totally stable first

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
I go back and forth. Sometimes I want to wait 2 years, other times I want to start right away since FH is 37 and I am 32. FH is leaving it up to me, he is just happy that I even want kids since a part of me just wants to adopt a dog . i am confused about it all

Re: just a question about the whole baby thing....
We're at least waiting until FH is done with his residency... that's 2 years. Then we'll see what happens! I figure I finally finished school and I'm just starting my career, I want to work full time for a while before that happens... Maybe i'll aim for a 12/12/12 baby since FH and I had our first date on 4/4/04 and will be married on 8/8/08!
