Is there ever a good time?
I feel like a YO-YO when it comes to figuring out when the best time to have kids is - this Cathy cartoon goes a long way in expressing my back & forth. I want Adam to be on board when I feel like I am ready, but can't seem to figure out when that is. We just hired a new Associate at work to join our industry team. It suddenly dawned on me that having a junior underneath me (finally) would make it a whole lot easier for me to take maternity leave, from a workflow perspective, and maybe now is a good time to start thinking of that.
But then we have a weekend like we just had - out with friends till all hours of the night, and I think, "I'm not ready!" Although, there isn't really anything from stopping us from dropping the kids off to stay with grandparents to enjoy some fun, once we do take the plunge.... back and forth I go... we want to travel, we want to buy a house first, I need to take that damn "exam" - when do we have time to raise kids? we aren't ready for the committment a pet entails... BUT, I don't want to wait too long either.... and Adam's brother is expecting now, and it makes us stop and assess where we are.
Anyway... that's my random thought of that day!
