Question on broaching the subject...

kartish

So I kinda have baby fever, I see them everywhere, I'm looking up baby related things online, it's always on my mind. I would like to start trying to have a baby towards the end of this year. But I haven't talked to my husband yet. A couple of things about us. We are 25 and 26. We have been together over 6 six but only married for a less than a year. We own our home and both have steady jobs, enough to pay the bills but not able to save much. My husband is going to school for another year (paid for by the GI bill) and then plans to go part time, however much we can afford for him to finish school, I have my AA and no plans to go back to school at this point. We talked about kids long before we were married, we both want them, maybe even want adopt along with having our own. The only thing we don't agree on it the number of kids ( I want 3 he only wants 2). I just don't know how to bring up the subject. I don't really know what he would say, but I think he will bring up money, how we don't make enough to have kids. I think we will be ok, but I get nervous about the money issue also. Any advice on bringing up the subject?

I completely understand where you are coming from, but a simple conversation with your husband will answer the questions you have.  I would talk to him and tell him the things you told us (you have an itch for a baby, talk about finances, etc). &n

This is really hard for me to relate to because it feels like it is all we ever talk about and I can't really imagine being apprehensive about mentioning having children with the person I plan to have them with!&

I'm a long time lurker, but rarely post. I'd like to weigh in on this one! Sorry it's so long. DH and I have been together 7 years (married 10 months). My family and friends always thought that I didn't like children, or that I didn't want them. I was
