House before baby or vice versa?
Just wondering if most of the ladies had their babies after buying a house or vice versa.
A lot of people at work have been asking when we're thinking of having children and I keep on telling them soon (didn't want to make the anouncement yet) and they keep responding right afterwards, ,"Really? Well when are you getting a house?" It just sounds like I need a house to have a baby and it makes me feel like I'm being irresponsible if I raise my baby in anything otherwise.
Believe me, if I could wait to have a baby when we have a house I would but I didn't want to risk it since I recently had a right ovarian cystectomy that could have compromised the function of my ovary, which meant that I had one functional ovary.

Re: House before baby or vice versa?
We just got married 7-27-07, we are looking for a house we can afford (ha ha ha) and I just got pregnant. Here's the thing, things happen when they happen. I am thrilled to be pg, and we will move as soon as we can, the market is getting a little more affordable so that's good. If we get a place before, or just after the little one shows up, that's the way it goes. Of course I want to have a house first but we don't have a spare 200k lying around right now for the downpayment.
