I am not going to have one soon anyways, i am not married (yet) and in college...but heck,.. i laways thoguht about myself as a way too self centered peroson to be a successful mother. ...

I felt the same way - that I'm definitely not the mother type of person.. I actually hate children most of the time. But I guess it's different with your own child. I got pregnant accidentally and two days after finding out I wanted to keep the baby :x Weird! __________________ 花鳥風月

I am kind of going through the same thing; I know I don't want a baby right now (can't afford it either) but I keep thinking about it. I am 22, will be 23 in Jan. I think all these people around me having babies is rubbing off on me. My husband has two, 4 and 6; so hes in no hurry, but yes why do we day dream about it?

I want kids too... and I'm not quite 22 yet.
I think it's normal... it's like pre-planning for what you want to do in life. Heck, I've almost got names planned out... now if only there was a committed guy in the picture. I love babies. A lot. Wait and see... you're still young, it can still happen. __________________ |

I think its our ovaries singing out to us! lol Just kidding. But I'm glad I found others going through the same thing. I'm sure i would miss my freedom if i did become pregnant, but part of me is like "oh i want twins!" I keep saying to myself "snap out of it dummy!!" One of the things i do when im bored is search for baby names. tisk tisk tisk i need to quit doing this im going to jinx myself!

23 when you had your daughter? Well my 23rd b-day is coming up this jan, and i think i would still be too young to have one at that age. I don't know why i see 24 so different than 23, but i think it all depends on your outlook. 23 might be perfect for you but too young for me. 27 might be too young to someone else. i think its all personal opinion, and experiences too. You might have a group of 23 year olds and only one is totally ready to become a parent, you get the picture.

why Kendyll, what is yours? Although I admit I kind of have this fear of childbirth.

There are good reasons why we dream about it and I hate to sound sexist but it's what we were born to do. Having children can be addicting the whole birthing experience has every emotion you could possibly think of, scared, happy, excited, worried, anxious, and then you here that first cry (that seems like an eternity) and you're completely relieved and then you hold your baby and it's the most beautiful baby you've ever seen. This is our destiny.
I wish I could have 20 more kids if there weren't the consequences of, sleepless nights, terrible 2's awful 3's and then they are the dreaded teens, the constant worring. I love my children to death but they are a handful, I would never be able to handle another one (at least not now). But every once in a while I want to experience it all over again. I have 3 (I had my first when I had just turned 22)... 11 yr old son, 4 yr old son and 2 (soon to be 3) yr old daughter.. I would die for them and without them. They change your life forever but I think for the better. __________________ Take me away... a secret place... a sweet escape... Take me away... to brighter days... a higher place... Take me away. |

I just remember a year ago i felt like if i turned up pregnant id be devastated, but now that hubby and i are getting our own house, im losing that devastated mind-set, and now thinking, well if it happens it happens. I don't know whether i should tell myself to snap out of it, or just consider it will be okay if it did happen. I dunno. Shake me someone!

Well you want to know something funny? I drempt I was in Christina Aguileras house and it was like a shrine to her baby. Then all of a sudden I was like 7 months pregnant and having a baby shower. What the heck is this?!
And another random thought: I miss my wedding, our one year is coming up and I was thinking how I miss the cake, and the planning and everything. I thought to myself: I want to "plan" something else, and then it hit me. A baby shower! (No im not even pregnant yet, but it doesnt mean I cant plan stuff out and daydream about it right?) I actually want my minor in college to be specialty cakes, and I would love to do that on the side right out of my own home! I have so many ideas for cakes, and the one thing that will be a hard decision will be if i have the bakery that did my wedding cake do it, or if i do it myself. Now that I have a new house and a good sized kitchen, the sky is the limit. I may suck at cooking, but if its one thing ive never messed up, its cakes. I want a multi-tiered cake for the baby shower, maybe even multiple cupcakes to surrount the cake, I am so retarted, why am i getting so excited about planning a baby shower when i havent even gotten pregnant with the baby itself? WHAT A CRAZY IDEA, but this will probably fufill my yearning to re-live the excitement of the wedding in a different aspect. At our wedding, not only did we have a beautiful cake with champagne glasses between the tiers, we also had a chocolate fountain which was an absolute hit! So you know i will do something special for the baby shower (whenever that may come to be) im sure it will be a few years down the line but by then im sure i will be laying out all my specifications from all my daydreaming. geez, im nuts. __________________ Do not stand at my grave and weep; I am not there.
