Crazy shit is happening...
So, the other day I'm driving down the road and the weirdest thoughts start entering my brain. My period was a few days late, and I thought, perchance, what would happen if I were pregnant? Am I ready to be a mother? How would that affect my life? (PS-I started today, so don't worry, I'm not pregnant lol). And then I kinda started thinking hey, maybe I'm ready to settle down. My genetics professor made an excellent point the other day about female's eggs and how old they get. Ladies, did you know that at the age of 40 your chances of having a child with down syndrome is 35% as opposed to the 1% chance we have right now? That's a HUGE difference. I would be so happy to bring many many happy HEALTHY children into this world, and my biological clock is ticking. I finally arrived at my destination after that weird car ride and the thoughts completely left my brain.
Then I was sitting in my family relationships and development classes and it came back. We were talking about what kind of qualities we look for in spouses and stuff and I want to find that man. Don't get me wrong, I'm still the same Sam that will put money and education over romance hands down, but I'm reaching a point where I kinda want to start a family soon. Not a-month-down-the-road soon, but somewhere around the time of grad school soon.
I mean, I see these people around me getting married and I'm like jeez they're throwing their life away, what's the fun after that? But having a big happy family is important to me, and I don't want some stupid gene fucking that up.
Le sigh.
