So DH and I are planning to get pregnant in '08. Well, at least I think we are. He confuses the hell out of me sometimes.

Somedays he acts really excited to have kids around. Then there are other days where i'll bring it up and he'll be like "just give me a while." We agreed quite a while ago to wait until March, but he got orders to be in training until probably April and then even then we won't know much of where we'll be after that. So I understand the last thing we want to do is get preggo in the middle of PCSing and living in temp housing and such. So it'll be mid summer by the time we get around to doing anything, more than likely.

That is 3 extra months! And he still acts like that may be not enough time. I don't want to force him into anything but he switches like this constantly.

That and this may sound really dumb....but he lived on a rach when he was younger. He delivered calfs and the like. Yet he acts like i'll be lucky for him to even be in the room with me because it is just "gross." Ask about cutting the cord? It's a big hell no.

"It's different" he says.

I say "its your own child!"

One of the biggest pleasures I look forward to is seeing him with our baby for the first time. And he seems to just crush that idea.

I'm sure at the actual event he'd do it but he just acts like our baby is going to be diseased and gross. I know childbirth isn't the most clean settings but come on.

WTF?:vent

Sorry if this is really random and makes no sense. I just hate getting bouced around on the subject.

I am going through the exact same thing right now. He says we can get preggo around next Sept. I'm ok with that, but he keeps talking about how he just wants to wait until he's ready. Let me tell you what I've heard from many ppl. A MAN IS NEVER READY!!! and it sucks. He gives me all this crap about wanting to make me so happy and give me everything I want. I mean I'm not naive. I know I shouldn't make him give me what I want and make me happy just to get me off his back. lol sorry this is a little long. we were seriously having this discussion like 10 seconds ago. I wish you the best though. Hopefully he'll be more understanding when the time comes.

I know what you are going through. My hubby is the same way. he will say one thing and the next its different. I told him the other day we have been married for over 3 years and I just feel ready now I have never felt like this before and he told me we can start trying once we are 24!!! I just turned 22 in August! I have no idea where that number came from I think he just wants to push it back. Guys drive me crazy!!! lol

I hear all of you! DH is the same way. He admits to being way too selfish for a child right now, yet he talks about having one when he gets home from Iraq! I don't see him maturing that much in 5 months or so!!
