I never thought I would get a serious boyfriend.I never thought I would get married.
So here I am 15 months married and now I'm having thoughts I never thought I would have:
To be a mom or not to be a mom.
It was never a deal breaker for Kevin & I if we did or did not have children. We're not ready right now to even make that decision but it's been on my mind a lot lately. I may not
even be able to conceive a child. I'm not ready to make a decision right now. Do I want to know right know if I can or cannot carry a baby? Or is this just hitting me because I know so many pregnant women?I've never been the type to yearn to be a mother but now?
I'm curious what a child of ours could look like and at times Kevin does such cute things it makes me want mini versions of him!
For now, I'm good. But I am curious for all those couples out there that have chosen not to have children. How did you come to that decision? I would love to hear!
(Note: These are our baby photos!!)
Omg. Mini me's??? PASS.... At least for years. If ur not wanting to have kids right now why borrow trouble.... Wait until you need to know if there are any issues then go from there. Keep in mind God knows the path he has set for you and KMac.
Xo!!!
Most excellent advice, I love your responses to my posts!! We are not ready, I'm just thrown off by even contemplating motherhood. We'll be DINKS for years before we even decide one way or the other. Maybe I'll settle for a puppy or a rabbit or something! :P
For both of us, we've never felt a compulsion to have children and unlike a lot of couples, that didn't change after we got married. It's true that children are a gift from God, but I don't believe there is any obligation to have kids if you don't have an inborn desire to do so.
Unfortunately, if you make the decision to be childless (as opposed to being unable to have children), a lot of folks will either assume there is something physically wrong with you or there must be something spiritually wrong with you. Listen to what God might be saying to you and Kevin. If God wants you to have kids, He'll make it clear.
