Don’t wait forever;

How I wish I could give Josie Jo a younger sibling, but the risk of chromosomal disorders at my age (44) are so high. The chances of conceiving at age 41 (the age I got pregnant with Josie) are only five percent (unless you use reproductive technology).

You are hot. I would like to impregnate you.

Surprise? I always thought you could kind of expect babies when people do certain things a lot, and boy did we ever! (blush) To me it seems that I was always just waiting for you to arrive and when you got here I was thrilled, as I still am. On another note, marriage to the right one – good. Fear…bad. Forging ahead with life -good. Recklessness … bad. Being in present time looking ahead – good. Stuck in the past looking backward… well, you get it.

Hanni was a wonderful surprise, but joined her brother, dad & I, 7 years after we got married. Her dad busied himself with making those extra siblings after we divorced. Blessings to all. And…Hanni still surprises me in a wonderful way.

I’m not into the whole “virtual baby shower” bullshit, but if you were knocked up, I’d be ALL OVER that. I’m just sayin’ is all. I’m not compensating for any of my own biological tickings. Obviously. (cough)

Hmm. Having a baby is a pretty normal thing for your body to want to do. In my experience, marriage needn’t be an issue. *cough* I’m the only one of my siblings who ended up in that boat, but thirteen years later, I’ve got an awesome, brilliant kid.

Making ‘em is easy. Loving ‘em is easy. Getting ‘em out is a little rough, but worth it. Dealing with the complications and responsibilities involved with caring for an initially completely dependent human life? Not as easy… totally worth it, in my opinion, but not easy.

When CK up there can grow the baby and have it himself we can have kids. Until then I am more than happy with kittens.

like I said, they’re easy to make… takes a bout a minute… or less. EASY!

I like this post but I hate your comments form. It eats your comment when you forget to put your email in. Summary: I don’t know if you should have a baby or not, but it’s definitely better to have one when you’re old. You don’t need as much sleep and shit doesn’t bother you as much. It helps to have a baby daddy around though. Just so’s you have some help, not as a moral statement.

I married the first and so far only time at 30. Had my first boy at 33. My second at 35 (by a hair). Liam took one “try.” Seamus took a very long and painful year. I say to anyone who can afford it… don’t wait too long. You never know how long it might take… heredity be damned.

I too was a premarital gestation. Just put the cart before the horse a bit… but it all worked!
