Hi all
I'm new to the forum *waves hi* and new to the whole concept of pregnancy and babies and all that carry-on.
I'm 23, going on 24 in September, my partner has just turned 31.
We have a house, a business and a steady income, we're planning to get married as soon as we can be bothered to basically LOL.
In the last little while, my clock ticking has taken me by surprise - I'm not generally a child-friendly person at all - in fact, my hubby-to-be's sis said to me at a very recent barbeque we had at our house - are you sure you want to go in that gazebo, it's full of children? She's been away for around a year, but I still felt a little bit strange about her comments... I'm not great with children but it's not as if I scare them to death either LOL, I hope!
I don't like other people's children - the thought of baby-sitting half the brats in my hubby-to-be's family leaves me totally cold - but I can't quite shake the idea of having my own. I've always secretly harboured the idea, but the timing has never been right, ever - I've always either been at uni, graduating, trying to convince my dad I can make my business work, working too hard at the business, trying to fix/sell a flat, or some other thing that has meant it hasn't been right for babies to come along. All those things have been done now (other than the business thing, which is mainly why I'm posting)
We have a house, and my gorgeous hubs is keen - but I'm a bit terrified LOL. I can't afford to stop working - and I never will be able to stop working - anyone else out there managed the concept of 'pop it out, strap it to your front, get back to work'? As there's no chance I can ever take more than one week at absolute maximum off.....
