Just because I am married...doesn't mean I have to have a baby!!!


Everyone and their mom wants me to have a baby lately. That is all I hear about. It is like the second you get engaged, that is the first thing people think about is the grandbabies. Now that I am married it is even worse. We just want a little time to enjoy eachother and get all our stuff together so we can focus on being great parents (when we are ready). Anyone else feel this way???

I think a huge part of my problem with the pregnancy thing is that we have no insurance to cover me being preggers so that is not even an option. Plus we don't have the income to be comfortable to have a baby. Idk...it is just a lot of pressure...

BTW...Happy Mother's Day Mommy's. I hosted Mother's Day for my whole family today and it went really well. I love any time I can spend with my family.

  1. I think you have to do what you think is right. If you don't think it's time to have a baby then just wait. Hope you had a good weekend!

  2. I totally understand! People ask us all the time when we'll have kids. Hello, we've only been married for 7 months! Calm down!

  3. I totally agree, there is no point in rushing to have kids... remember once you have them, they never go away! Enjoy the time you have right now with just eachother!

  5. Ah...I had this problem too.
    All I can say is enjoy the childless marriage for a while. As much as I love my kids, it gets kind of crazy and so much changes!!
    Have a wonderful Monday :)

  6. Girl, don't even get me started. I've written numerous posts on this. I'm 30 and have been married for almost 6 years, so I know what you are going through. Recently we started telling people we might never have kids and that shuts 'em up pretty quickly.

  9. I'm in the same shoes! My husband and I just want to relax and enjoy a little more time together, just he & I... our moms are grandbaby crazy, and it sometimes scares me! Seriously, though - I think it's one of those things where you'll just know it's time. Good luck :)

  11. I know what you mean!! I was married 7 years before having a kid! One, I have fertility issues, and two I just didn't want kids right away. Hubby agreed.

    Finally our parental genes kicked in and we were ready (financially as well).
    My hospital bill was $25,000! Good thing I had insurance--so, yeah, you better wait till you get that insurance!

    But yeah, we too got the "when are the babies coming" thing all the time!!!

  12. Don't let anyone pressure you! My DH and I have been married 4 years (and we've been together for 12 since high school) and after the first year of marriage when we kept telling people we weren't ready they finally stopped asking :) It also helps if you have siblings that go ahead and have kids - it takes the pressure off!

  13. I totally get what you are saying!! We are about past that stage though and actually feel more ready for it now! But I was just there so I know how you feel! Looks like we have Tara and Domesticated-Bliss in common! :-) I'm a new follower!
