H'rm…are you two really set up to have a kid right now? Most importantly, financially, but also with where you are in your life plans? Having a kid consumes every minute of your life and more as well, for the first 2-5 years. If you like to travel (like, say, to California) then put off having the kid until more travel is done.Just a thought.Having said that, if you really want to conceive I suggest you have sex in the backseat of a car, after having a few beers. It worked for a bunch of girls in my highschool.Also, if nothing else, please, please get the child vaccinated.
in response to anonymous – after 7 years of being married my husband and we finally decided to have a baby and having our son is the best thing I ever did. We kept worrying about money and timing but after he was born we wondered why we didn't do it sooner. I don't know if there is such thing as perfect timing or being financially ready, the fact is, you make it work. All babies need is a boob, a mom and a dad that love the heck out of them and a safe place to sleep, which frankly for the first 6 months could be a laundry bin. What an amazing love. They aren't a terrible intrusion of life, but a whole new wonderful life. Yes they consume every minute but they aren't accessories, they are apart of you and you want them to consume every moment of your life snuggling them and loving them, and you even miss them even at nap time. Having a baby is becoming completely selfless and it is really an unbelievable experience. Sarah and Andrew, I bless you and your baby makers. Be encouraged, Papa knows exactly when this little one is meant to be formed and has great purpose for him or her in the timing that he designed and in your new family together. You will be wonderful parents. In the mean time, enjoy some more grrrreat sex!
I am wondering where people are getting these ideas that parents cannot travel when they have kids? My friends are using their maternity leaves to go to some exotic places(Egypt, Middle East)! I don't think that having a baby will put your lives on hold. It will only accentuate it that much more.
