Kids

When I was younger I always knew that I would have children. Actually, I always thought I would have one child. I also thought I would have said child by the time I was about 28 years old. I now realize, that I am 30 years old, almost 31, and really don't want a baby. Well, I don't know if that's really the case, but babies scare me. I was never ( Read more... )

The incoherent ramblings of a mother... carrieann February 8 2006, 04:38:48 UTC

Oh, man. If I could (well, I could, but you know what I'm sayin) carry the baby for you and raise him/her until they were about two, I so would. I actually had a really, really good pregnancy and child birth process. Unfortunately, I missed out on fully enjoying the first few months of Molly's life, because of the post-partum depression they diagnosed me with. Granted, it wasn't anything within my immediate control, but knowing what I do now and realizing the signs, I'm better prepared if the time comes when we decide to have another child ( ... )

I do want to have kids, it's just the baby thing that absolutely terrifies me. I'm not even really sure why, but it does. I love little kids though, and have taught/TA'd and volunteered in many a kindergarten and elementary school in my time, and just loved the whole experience. I also love taking my friend's kids out for the day, but again, they have always been a little older. I think that not being around babies much in my lifetime probably has a LOT to do with it. I know I'd catch on, but again the whole pregnancy thing scares the crap out of me as well. We have talked a lot about adopting kids, but I guess we have a while to figure it out. We really are set on not doing anything until we are able to have a place of our own, so that is priority #1! For now I'm content to have friends with kids that I can play with, and to keep looking at Miss Molly's absoultely adorable pictures when you post them! :)

And thanks girl...I really appreciate your comments!

It sounds like that adoption would be an incredibly ideal situation for you and for that possible child. After all you would be doing a terrifice thing for a child out there in need of stability and love.

That's what we are thinking. I've always thought that I may adopt kids, whether or not we do end up having one of our own. I just think that there are so many gret kids out there that don't get the chance they deserve, and I'd love to try to help someone have a better life if possible!
