If we're being brutally honest there is definitely part of us that is not ready for this. We have been together for 10 years and we truly love our life. We are pretty busy, especially with basketball, and we're not sure how another "demand" on our time will affect us.
Unfortunately, we're not getting any younger (I'll be 29 next week and Mark will be 30). We are also the youngest children in our families and our parents are not getting any younger (our dads are 63 and moms are 58). My husband's brother does have a daughter who is 3. Mark's parents adore her. As I don't think that the rest of my family will have kids soon and my parents want them so badly, time is definitely not on our side. I want my kids and I want my parents to be able to enjoy one another and scary as it is my dad would be 85 when our child turned 21. Again, time is not on our side. I definitely feel the pressure to fight against time.
All that being said, Mark and I both love kids. We are "the" aunt and uncle. The kids are always left to us at family functions. When we were at Disney we couldn't help but watch the kids and laugh and smile and truly enjoy the way the kids respond to being in Disney. Loving kids has never been the question. Can we handle it, not a concern. Are we going to want to give up our lives? Well, we've decided there's no time like the present to find out. So, although we're not sure we're ready to give up our time we have decided we are ready to have our first baby.
