The other day at work, my best friend Kim, who has always been like the sister I never had, stopped in, and brought me these beautiful flowers! This was actually before my birthday, and wasn't part of my b-day gift or anything. She handed them to me and said: "I just wanted to tell you congratulations!" I looked at her confused and said,"Um thank you, but for what?" She said, "Your going to be an Aunt!" She is pregnant! And although, technically I'm not going to be an aunt, we are like sisters, so you get the idea! I thought that was a super thoughtful and sweet way for her to tell me, and I thought I would share it with all of you! Quick info on her, she is happily married for what will be coming up on 4 years, and she has no children so far. So they are obviously very excited, as am I! She will also be 25 in October!I was wondering what you girls thought was a good age to start having kids? I know some of you aren't married, and some of you aren't even seeing anyone these days, but if the situation was just how you had always pictured, and let's pretend everything came together at the right time, what age would you want to start having kids? My husband and I have been married for almost 2 years, I've just turned 24 and he will be 27 in September. We knew we didn't want to have kids right away, because we wanted to have time to enjoy married life, just the two of us. Do some traveling and be financially ready. Now that almost two years have past, we can't help but think,
is it time?
We do know we don't want to be really old geezers by the time are kids are graduating high school, so we do want to have children some time in the near future. We just don't know how near. It's definitely a tough and big decision, but I think we are going about it the right way, and not rushing into it, trying to be smart. Anyway, what do you girls think? In your dream life what age would you start having kids?
