hi Boopsie - how old are you? I'm not exactly in that situation, but I definitely am feeling panicky about running out of time (I'm 37). Not particularly eager to change my lifestyle but if not now, then when?
I suppose I'd need an outlet for my strong maternal feelings if I didn't have my two sweet cats. These days, they are very much my 'babies' but if I didn't have them then I'm sure baby cravings would cause me a lot of frustrations.
