Two and a half years ago when we first got here, everyone was worried I'd get pregnant and have a baby that no one would be able to see.

I was originally planning on getting pregnant sometime between May 2007 and September 2007. :no

That's all shot to shit since DJ's getting out and going to medical school. Now I'll be 31 or 32 when I get to have a baby. :no

I'm really sad.

We spent the evening with our neighbors and their 8 month old. I'm usually fine when I'm playing with him but seeing DJ hold him and play with him really put a knife right through the heart. I didn't realize my biological clock started, but I seriously had tears in my eyes.

:hugs

my mom had me when she was 30 and 2 more after me.


dont worry Britt, you will get your lil bundle of joy soon :hugs

DJ's really apologetic about changing his plans.

I can't really complain too much. He's looking into anesthesiology as his specialty and starting pay for them is over $100,000. That's more than he'd ever be able to make in the Navy.

But it hit me last night that I was suppose to be getting pregnant right around now and that couldn't be further from the truth...

:hugs I can only imagine what it must be like to fight that inner ticking of the biological clock. You will get your baby hun! And you will love it alllllll the more because you had to wait so long!

:hugs Keep your chin up!

I don't even know what to tell you Britt... :hugs

I know what your feeling Britt:cheerup I feel like its too late for me.

I'm sorry :hugs Just remember so many women these days are waiting until they've established themselves with a home and stable career, being in their 30s or 40s having children. It may not have been what you had planned for yourself, but it definitely will not take away from your ability to be a great mother and enjoy life with your children. I wish you the best of luck :goodvibes

I'm such a ninny. I'm sitting over here crying. :rolleyes

Screw this, I'm going to go make something with syrup on it.

OOh make a chocolate frappe!!!!!!! it has chocolate syrup in it!!!!

Cos you are sad, i will give you a family recipe if you want!!

Cheer up Britt. Things happen for a reason. When you get your babies, you will be able to give them so much more because you 2 will be financially secure. And it's not like you will be at all old- 30 is the new 20!

mmm make some cake or something.. frosting always makes me feel better! hugs to you!

Oh, my Britt :sadeyes :hugs

I'm so sorry sweetie. You know, 30, 31 and 32 aren't old whatsoever. I can only imagine how hard it must be for you, having to fight your biological clock. You are making the right decision, waiting until DJ is done with school. It really isn't as far away like you think. I am here for you sweetie :hugs.

BTW, you need to call me! I can cheer you up ;)

I was crying when he was home for lunch earlier.

He just kept rubbing my leg and saying, "We just need to get me into medical school. Then we'll baby-it-up! I promise!"

He loves you Britt (L)

:hugehug

:hugs :hugs I'm sorry, I know it's hard when it feels like our plans aren't going to be going the way we'd like them to. You'll get your baby!

It'll pass.

I'll babysit someone's obnoxious 2 year old and praise the Heavens when the mom finally shows up.

This baby craving has been coming around a lot more recently. It used to be once or twice a year. Now it's once or twice every couple months. I guess I'll really need to worry when it's once or twice a day. :P

Hey, my biomom didn't have me until she was 37. So, it could be worse, right? This way you'll have lots more time with the hubby before a squalling baby ruins all the peace and fun! :hugs Syrupy things will make it better!

:hugs

:hugs The time will come, although it is so hard to think of it being far away. I love you!!!

I'm sorry Britt :( I can totally understand why you're upset. I wanted kids young and would have been upset if we had to keep waiting.

However, please take it from me, it will be so worth it to wait until he's making more money and can provide more for you financially. We make it on Jason's navy pay but sometimes it is SO hard. You could do so much more with the pay he'd be making after going to med school. You wouldn't have so much worry and stress about making it financially, and you could do all of the fun things that I wish we could afford to do. You're making the right decision, sweetie, even if it doesn't feel like it right now (L)

The brain understands it's the heart that hurts a little. :sadeyes

I'm just really eager to see what our child looks like, sounds like, his/her personality, etc. and I'm not even pregnant. :lol

I know, and I can totally understand. My heart would hurt also :(

Remember Britt, the 30's are the new 20's ;) that's what I try to think lol I know how you are feeling I actually made a post and ask for people to post things of good reasons not to get pregnant now, lol they helped.
I always thought I would have babies early but I'm actually happy I'm waiting for the right time.

Well I'm certain the advantages of waiting outweigh the disadvantages, especially considering where we are right now. In two weeks I have to go to Yokosuka Naval Hospital for a procedure and that would be a pain and a half if I had a baby, etc.

Still sucks though. :P I have a feeling we'll have a really cute, fat baby with snow white hair and probably his blue eyes. I have no clue what it will look like once it becomes a child though. We both were kind of fugly from age 6-11. :scared :lmao

awww britt :hugs you just made me cry. Like brandi said you will be in such a better spot when he's out of med school and you are making the right decision. :hugs You will be a wonderful mother hun.

You both are very strong and wonderful people Britt. :hugs (L)

Thanks for your kind words, everyone. :)

You guys will be wonderful parents Britt, especially because you are taking such thought into figuring out when would be right for you to bring a baby into the world.:hugs

Oh and for those who may not know me...

I'm going to be 27 (>GULP!<) and we've been married for a little over 4 years, so I think I'm in the right when I said my biological clock woke up.

It isnt bad being older and being a mommy ;) I had Ethan at 29 and Ash at 31. And although we started trying for Ethan at 19 I think there are advantages for us in being older. There are advantages either way. And I understand the biological clock. My was ticking so hard during those years of infertility I couldnt hear anything else

It'll happen and you will make an excellent mommy with adorable kiddos :D

Because I overthink things WAY TOO MUCH, I'm terrified that we're going to have fertility problems and it's just not going to work because we'll have wasted (for lack of a better word) time on preventing a pregnancy.

Like I said... I think way too deeply. It's crap like this that keeps me awake.

Im going to be almost 30 when I have this kid, and then 32 probably for the second.

Nah. Infertility is real but I wouldnt stress on it. And women 30 and over they say to TTC for 6 months and then seek help. So if it didnt happen in 6 months time after 30 I would make a Dr appt. If they find a problem you can get it fixed faster. Dont stress on IF you have fertility problems before you know. And look at me. Once I was diagnosed and on right meds it happened right away. So even IF and I mean a BIG IF you did, there are things you can do and it doesnt mean your out....

My situation is a bit different. yes I TTC for 9.5 years but I didnt have the right help until I had the right diagnosis...

Sweety I'm so sorry! But you will have adorable little babies when the time is right! :hugs

I love you Miss Britt:D :yes
