And it definitely wasn't a sudden overnight thing. It was more like -- at first I was too busy to want kids. Then I started to obsess about how freakin' cute Violet Affleck is. Then eventually it escalated to the point where I was like, "I could drive a station wagon. I could shop at Baby Gap." Like Rain said, once you hit that point, it kind of becomes its own adventure. Plus, gift registries are the bomb!Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961968513313944954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-35329920034358260792010-02-17T08:45:11.668-08:002010-02-17T08:45:11.668-08:00Yeah, you guys are right...I'll just know.

Do you just wake up one morning to your biological clock ticking or is it a natural progression?<br /><br />Rain!! How are you feeling? I couldn't BELIEVE you went into labor that night! Can't wait to come meet your babe...just let me know when I can come over :) Ice chips...mmm...haEllenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425749875167877996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-62630652423737246672010-02-17T01:37:48.338-08:002010-02-17T01:37:48.338-08:00Glad you enjoyed the shower E!

Kara's right...you know when it's time when the "dream" changes. <br /><br />I was in the middle of planning a trip to Africa when I found out I was pregnant and suddenly putting the trip off wasn't so disappointing in lieu of getting ready for the little 'un. It just seemed like a new adventure.<br /><br />You work hard and deserve to enjoy the moment b/c you really do have plenty of time!Elsiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14960003185364845407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-25243698290349412010-02-16T18:21:36.085-08:002010-02-16T18:21:36.085-08:00I wasn't anywhere near ready until I met HIM.....I wasn't anywhere near ready until I met HIM...the one who made me feel like having someone and something to come home to after work was far more important than sitting in an office after all signs of human life had left for the day.<br /><br />My opinion?

It's corny, but at some point it'll seem like the dream itself instead of an obstacle. I hit a point -- and it took 10 years -- where instead of thinking about my next career move, I was like, babybabybaby! It just suddenly sounded way more fun than anything else I could do. <br /><br />You're totally right -- if you get married or have kids before you're ready, you'll just be stressed and resentful about it. <br /><br />P.S. I can't believe your friend went into labor after her shower...props to her for getting through the day! At least she ate well before she got stuck in L&D with nothing but ice chips :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16961968513313944954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-9334440587120866142010-02-16T17:43:38.884-08:002010-02-16T17:43:38.884-08:00No reason to rush it, there's always time to g...No reason to rush it, there's always time to grow up.

Most of my friends actually aren't married and having babies, so I feel very "normal." It's really nice...but it's also nice taking a peek on the OTHER side from time to time. I guess it reassures me what I am and am not ready for!Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00425749875167877996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670679032484051596.post-12995548498454471862010-02-16T14:47:47.389-08:002010-02-16T14:47:47.389-08:00I have been thinking the exact same thing a lot la...I have been thinking the exact same thing a lot lately. The only problem is that I am not ready and do not want to grow up and settle down even if everyone else my age seems to be. I guess I'll get around to it one day...Paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01365749252169934403noreply@blogger.com
