Going to ignore the troll that couldn't read past the title and say: thank you all for the encouraging words. We just had the big talk about this considering marriage was always sort of a given between us (we've been friends for about 7 years and a couple for at least three of them..we're inseparable). He made it clear that he's not even remotely interested in kids until at least ten years from now...so I have a while to get comfortable with the idea.
My other biggest fears are the childbirth itself and PPD. I've already pretty much decided I'm going to need to be knocked out for a c- section to get through that..
I guess for the infant and toddler days I'll just have to grit my teeth and keep thinking of the ultimate goal to get me through it. We imagine our geeky little family will be having family DnD nights, getting cozy on the couch and sharing our favorite nostalgic movies, music, old games, and classic fantasy literature with them. Thoughts like that make it seem so much more palatable compared to the typical ideal family picture..it makes me kind of smiley actually, maybe there's hope for me yet.
That is so sweet! You have a great idea in mind for your family and that is good! :)
Labor pains are HELL and believe them when they say "You'll know it when you're in labor."
But for me, after I got my epidural, it was AMAZING! I was so happy, laughing and smiling and even joking around with the nurses.
It is very common to develop PPD especially when you leave the hospital. They'll send a pamphlet home with you to record your feelings and it will let you know if your PPD is serious enough to see a doctor.
I hope you have family and friends to help you with the baby at first because you'll need it!
Boyfriend wants kids, I'm on the fence, IIN?
