Just can't help myself...

in Babies on the Brain

This is my first post here (I'm a member of the knot and the nest and just kinda wandered in here today), so I'll give you some back story.

My son is going to be 5 in March. His dad and I have not been together since he was 2, and I'm now with someone else. We got engaged last month and we're getting married in September 2014. I worked at Babies R Us for nearly three years, and have been at a smaller baby boutique-type store for about a month now.

So of course, I have wicked baby fever.

I have since my son was 2 (because my sisters and I were born all two years apart and it seemed appropriate for my life too) - but then as I mentioned above, my son's dad and I broke up when my son was 2. So of course, more babies were not an option.

Being that I've been selling baby stuff for so long, I just can't help but think about babies. And now that I'm with someone I truly love, I just constantly have babies on the brain and can't wait until he and I can experience that together, and give my son some siblings!

I know our smarter option is to wait until we're married, and have a house with enough space, etc etc, but some days I just wanna be like 'SCREW IT LETS' HAVE BABIES NOW!'

I can't help it! :P

    How does one have baby fever while going through a divorce?  Maybe it is time to find a new job.

    2 years, 2 surgeries, 2 clomid fails, 2 IUIs, 1 loss, IVF #1 - 10/25/10 = BFP!, DS is now 3.5yrs!
    TTC #2 - 6/12 surgery #3, FET #1 & 1.2 = BFN, 12/2012 FET #2 = BFP! DD is 1.5 yrs!
    Surprise! 12/16/14 BFP, loss #2 12/31/14

    I can't wait for the "im getting a divorce" post in 5 years or so because your husbands were fed up with your disgusting chair asses from playing on the knot all day and getting fired 4-5 times for not doing any work. you guys are all winners!! ~ Laur929

    What? No, back then my baby fever was solely based on the fact that my son was two and I felt like I should be giving him a sibling...since I got one when I was two. The baby fever obviously went away after his dad and I broke up.

    I actually love my job and I'm great at it. I'm not about to go home and get knocked up just because I sell baby stuff - I'm not stupid. We don't plan on trying for babies until after we get married next fall.

    Talk with FI, see what he feels comfortable with. And I wouldn't recommend having a pregnancy (and immediate post-baby time) over lap with a wedding. It's all about the bride, not about the bride stressing about dresses that are too snug come the big day.
    "What are you having?" "Well the radiologist says its a healthy little human baby. I'm a little disappointed, because I really wanted a puppy." LOL

    I can completely relate to having impractical baby fever...and to the need to give my son a sibling! Before DH and I got engaged, I had baby fever and badly wanted a child. But we knew the right thing to do was to get married first, so we did. However, I know how it helps to talk to someone and get those irrational feelings out. Hang in there, girl. Your wedding will be here and be over before you know it and next thing you know you'll be TTC for 6 months.

    Believe it or not, my fiance has even asked my boss what my discount is like at my new job. I couldn't be bothered when I started, because we just have baby stuff, really, and unless it's Christmas time or a friend has a baby, I have no reason to buy anything here. We've talked a little bit about babies - more or less just wondering how many we should have and whatnot...nothing too serious. At first, before we got engaged, he wasn't sure if he wanted any kids, especially more than one (he is an only child) - I think we're more on same page now, though, and we've talked about at least two. In the future, of course. I definitely don't want people wondering if we're getting married because I'm having a baby...nor do I want our big day to be less exciting than it could be because I'm feeling all blah from pregnancy! But I think shortly after the wedding, provided we're not financially ruined from the wedding, we'll be thinking about babies! :)

    I honestly think it's a part of womanhood and motherhood to want to have babies, and when we do have babies, to have more babies for our kids to have in their lives! I have it under control...but there are days where I just wish it could be the future and we could start working on this! We'll get there, and we'll all be very happy because we decided that we wanted it to happen!
