Yes, I realize that I have been married a while now.
Yes, I realize that I am not getting any younger, and neither is my husband.
Yes, I understand that you are never "ready" to have a baby.
It would be a perfect time to have a baby since all of your friends are having babies. Just think, they could all grow up together.
These are all things I have heard since the day Dave and I were married. Yes, I want a family, I can't wait to feel that baby growing inside of me. But I also realize that my husband and I are not in a position where we feel ready. While you are never ready to have a baby, it's a leap of faith that you have to trust in, I can be better prepared.
I hav spent the better part of my adult life working with children whose parents weren't ready, in financial difficulties and in bad marriages or wound up alone. I have seen how diffcult that is. It scares the hell out of me.
So, until I reach the point where I am ready, BACK THE FUCK OFF. Thank you and Good day.
So....when are you going to have a baby? I love you Melissa and you are smart to prepare yourself before you make the wonderous leap that is parenthood.
ReplyDeleteI am so happy you have told us all to back the fuck off. That being said, JJ can't wait to see you in a few weeks. :)
