When did you decide to have children?
Until I was fifteen or so, I swore off ever having children. I had my mind made up, and that was that. I was never having kids. Ever.
Then I met Daniel. And not too long after, sexual hormones went into overdrive. About a year and a half later – when I was eighteen – the baby urges started. I don’t know if it was the age, or the fact that I had met “the one”, or a combination of both. But what I do know is that I suddenly wanted a baby… badly.
Of course, I was smart enough to look at the situation logically, and while I had the baby urges, and even discussed them with my significant other, I never acted upon them. Oh, sure, we had sex, and lots of it. But I never strayed from birth control.
It’s funny how I did such a turn-a-bout on my decision to have children. Funnier still, I swore off having more than one child after my daughter was born. Too much stress, and labor and delivery were much too painful. Then, when my daughter was about nine months old, I started getting the baby urges again. Tick, tick, tick. I could practically hear my uterus’ internal clock ticking. When our daughter turned a year old, we decided to have another. And, exactly nine months later, our son was born.
