It is similar to marriage to me. Some people think about marriage and/or kids all of their lives whereas the rest of us are BLAH about it until the timing is right FOR US and we find the one we'd like to make that commitment and blessing with.

I love this post.
Funny thing is, the first part of it reminds me of a character from an Alice Walker novel. Can't remember the name of the book, but the main character said something similar when she learned she was pregnant.
Corinne Maier wrote a book listing the 40 reasons now to have children. One reason was that children are vicous dwarfs. lol Here is the link to the article about it below:
