Spent a good amount of time this christmas with babies. My baby nephew, Art's brand new nephew, family friends' kids and my own high school friend's kid. Most were adorable and entertaining. My brother's niece by marriage is a horrible child but not surprising coming from a family who I cannot stand (although I adore my sister in law).
A week before all this I had seen my doctor about the option of bilateral tubal ligation.
Even after spending time with some really adorable kids, I left each time completely relieved and with no ticking clock sensation. I am even more happy that I have figured out that having children is an option that need not apply to me. My mom isn't supportive but doesn't push me. Although she'd love if I had children, she doesn't believe people should have kids who do not want them.
So close to my 30th you'd think that bio clock people keep insisting I must have would be in effect (therefore it is thought I am not capable of making my decision about this).
It's just a matter of cost. And I have several other costs that come to mind like a new computer as this one isn't doing so well and I'd like to buy my ticket to the Philippines by late spring. Even with insurance I anticipate that I will still be paying a couple thousand bucks.
Figuring out if there any family planning programs that'll do it for low cost based on income.
here's hoping.
