I also hate it when people say stuff like that, "your sex life goes to pot" or "you won't have any social life anymore." I think life is what you make it, and just because I have a baby doesn't mean I'm never going to want to have sex again or make it impossible to go out to eat with my girlfriends. I'm not giving up my life to have a baby, I'm dedicating myself to raising that child to be the best I can raise him/her to be. There's a big difference. (if that makes sense to others like it does to me at least! )
That makes perfect sense. We fully intend to still travel and socialise even when we have a little one. We also have two sets of grandparents, my sister and my best friend who've all offered babysitting duties (we'll probably end up with more time to ourselves after we have a kid than we do now cos we'll make the most of it when we do get it! lol!).
