Oh gosh now Reggin you're scaring ME 
I DO miss my freedom occasionally. Does it bother me? Not in the least bit. Is it worth it? Absolutely! Would I do it again? Absolutely!
I know too many people that get prego not realizing that they are changing their life in a huge way. As if its not apparent enough, lol.
Sometimes its just better to delay the baby making until you feel that you are ready, because its a life time commitment. Thats all.
For me... when it happens it happens. I'm not necessarily going to wait until I'm completely ready because then it'll never happen. I'd like to get married first and be married for a year or two before thinking about kids. I'd also like to be a somewhat young mom. My mom was 18 when she had me which was too young for me to have a baby... but I liked having a younger mom. I'm thinking mid 20's will be a good time for me 25-26... but if it happens before that I'll do what I have to do to make it work.
This thread moves me to tears..
I've always loved kids. Even when I was a little kid myself, I dreamed about being a mother. I'd play with dolls and pretended to be their mother!. I wished to feel the love similar to the love my mom had for me, I'd immitated how she'd read to me, play with me and imagined to one day do it to my own kids.. I guess having received soooo much love from my mom & saw how much joy she had had with me made me wish to be at the given end of it.
Now that I'm happily married, having a good job & own a house, the only thing missing in my life is a baby!. So many times I've questioned God in prayers why He hasn't blessed us with one yet - but somehow through the twists & turns of life, HE's always managed to answer my question! So while I am having this burning desire to have a kid, I'm totally at peace with not having one RIGHT NOW. I know one day we'd be parents. Exactly when we'd be blessed with the gift of a baby depends on the ONE who's giving the blessing
In the mean time, we're trying very hard to conceive, the "doing our best" part of the equation. The rest we entrust to God.
We ask that you'd pray for us, too. That is if you don't mind, of course.

oh it's not just the boobs--your whole figure can change--you can weigh the same as before, but it's all in a different configuration! LOL--having a baby is a selfless task--be ready to not have life about you, but about the baby. I absolutely love being a mom--but it changes everything in your life--so be prepared!

Hubby and I have been trying to conceive for over a year and a half now....when we first started I was totally on board but about 75% ready...I have read that is the best time to start, when your head and your heart are about 75% aligned and I would agree...now I am 98% ready and it just isn't happening. Of course I have some fears and worries but I am so ready. Everytime I turn around someone who doesn't want to be pregnant finds out they are. I figure that when the time is right it will happen for us but it is hard when you are surrounded by people who didn't even have to try for their blessing and really have no idea how hard it is for some people to get pregnant. I know it will just be that much sweeter when it comes!
My advice, wait until you are at least some what stable financially. A couple years ago I wanted a baby so bad but even with as long as it is taking to get pregnant, I am really glad we waited. Enjoy getting married and buying a house first. They are all part of the steps you take as a couple.
