Looking Forward Friday

My husband and I were certain we were Childfree up until about 6 months ago.

Im not a big baby person, but I enjoy older kids. My husband is sort of indifferent to other kids, and we are both the eldest in our families, so no nieces or nephews to play with.

I used to coach and babysit a lot, but u never thought I'd be a mom.

I was sort of thinking about wanting kids last spring, but it wasn't until April that I decided. I went in for a surgery, the first one I had ever had, and basically had an existential crisis while they were wheeling me into the OR. I realized I wanted a family, people to stay behind and live a good life even if I might not always be there.

Then seeing how caring my husband was while I was sick and in recovery made my ovaries explode, so we talked about it a lot and thought for a few months.

I don't think we will ever be 100% ready, but we both want a family now. Haha
