I have it right now...bad. It is SUCH a bad time right now though (of course I know there is no PERFECT time...still). As some of you know, my husband and I were going through some rocky times, which are now tremendously better. But I am not ready yet to take that next step. And I am in school. And our house is teeny. And well, so many other things.
I love being a Mama though, and I wonder how many baby-making years I have left. Lol...well, kinda!

Do you have children already or are you talking about starting a family? I have a 6 month old, we had plenty of reasons why it wasn't the right time, but just took a leap of faith and it has turned out to be the perfect time.

We have a 3 year old already. I feel like she is still just a baby, then I see people who have one her age and even one or two more sometimes, so then I think it must be able to be done!

I have perpetual baby fever - that's how I find myself with four amazing daughters I adore! And I would keep going if my husband would agree with it!
You will know when the time is right. And I say "right," not "perfect," because as you said - there will never be a perfect time to do anything.

lol Same here Suzanne! lol hahaha
As for Elizabeth, how old are you? I know many women can have children for quite a long time. Not every one but many! You may want to look around your own female family members and see what is normal in your "genes" for such.
I know in my family it's not unusual to go to almost 50 still birthin' babies, in fact I would say it's down right normal in my family. I would say around average age in my family (some younger, some older) is around 46 for their last baby. However, all of them who have stopped at 46 has told me it was a choice not because they "couldn't" any more. I think the fertility and how long you can have children has a lot to do with heredity. Not completely, but seems to me runs in families how long people continue to be fertile, and when they go into menopause for a great deal of women.

I've had baby fever since I had my baby, and definitely before I had her ;) Thankfully, we are trying now so hopefully baby fever will end soon, but I was in your shoes last year. I didn't think a good time was right around the corner, but it was. Just wait a little while. You'll know what the time is right. xo

We had to try for a really long time to get pregnant with Rosemary, and since I don't have a thyroid and due to some other health concerns I am a "high risk" pregnancy, which is why I think I don't have many baby-making years left in me. When I was pregnant the first time I got put on complete bedrest at 16 weeks until I delivered, so I know if that would happen again I would have to drop put of school, and I just can't. No way! I will just have to wait a little longer and hope for the best.

Awe I see. I'm a type one diabetic, so have done the bed rest through two pregnancies. So I understand that. Well hopefully soon.
