It is exciting that you are starting to feel that tug in your belly, that longing when you see friends with their new babies. You both would be wonderful parents!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-1139180486731347222006-02-05T18:01:00.000-05:002006-02-05T18:01:00.000-05:00That "when are you going to have kids" phase of my...That "when are you going to have kids" phase of my life lasted so long (we had our first child three months before our 10th wedding anniversary) that I had several good answers to it. My favourite was "when we can keep our garden alive".

You definitely can't plan the baby thing, but you can't not plan it, either.<BR/><BR/>And just be ready--the moment you have the first, they start asking, "so when are you having another one?"

Once you have one, the question moves to when you will have more. it is rude and I love your idea of asking about income. <BR/><BR/>As for a baby, you will know because no reason seems like a good reason to wait. Living in box? So what, at least we have a box. Seriously, the desire can hit that hard.ccwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05319415763862282537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-1138967497123943542006-02-03T06:51:00.000-05:002006-02-03T06:51:00.000-05:00What a beautiful post, HL.

My husband and I had our 9th Dating Anniversary last week, and I definitely think that they're just as important as wedding anniversaries in some ways, as it's a cause to celebrate your whole relationship.<BR/><BR/>I agree with what others have said about not being able to plan the baby thing too much, but I do know that when it happens, you and Josh are going to be the MOST AWESOME AND ADORABLE parents.Pink Cupcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13189535908875879313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10449167.post-1138938837174432642006-02-02T22:53:00.000-05:002006-02-02T22:53:00.000-05:00To quote Judith Martin, a.k.a.
