have children someday

“You know, your mum did a bank account for a girl your age, and she had three boys. You are getting on now, I guess it won’t be long now?”

Yeah, dad, try two or more years. I got way too much to be doing right now. Not saying I don’t want kids, if the situation were right, I’d already be wanting kids. But it’s more sensible to wait now. Erik has another year of studying left, and I have to start learning Swedish, which will take a few years I am thinking before I am fluent. Although, that’s not that important when it comes to our eventual kids, as Erik will teach them Swedish, and I’ll teach them English.

...to have children someday. The ultimate choice would be one of each gender, at least ;) I’ve always been thinking about having two kids maximum, but when I think about it, I don’t think that I would mind having three, or even four (If I can take that, that is :) As long as I’m able to take care of them and be a good dad to them, I’ll be fine.
How old will I be when becoming a dad for the first time? You tell me! But perhaps between the age of 26-32, somewhere. I think that’s reasonable.

Three more months! :)

The truth is, I’m scared to death at the idea of having children, because of the heartache risk. My beloved cat just disappeared recently, and it’s broken my heart. I also recently watched an episode of Without A Trace where a child went missing. My mind made a lovely connection, and now I almost don’t want to have a child, in case he or she dies, or is kidnapped, or is taken away from me in any way. I love and miss my little Bastet more than I can say…and she’s a cat. What would losing a child do to me?

But I do want to have a kid. And I’m in love with a man who wants to have children more than anything. And I know that, no matter what happens, having a child will be beyond worth it.

I had a baby girl, Autumn Katherine on August 30th. Yeah!

I’d love to have 2, but whatever we are blessed with will be just fine.

They could be as pedantic and reasoning as I am.

“Please, put the knife away, you might hurt yourself”
“I can use it okay”
“Not at the moment, when you’re older you will, when your motor skills are more developed”
“How will I develop them without using things?”
”...Just shush”

It’d be a never-ending reasonable explanation. Just great :P

It’s hard not to notice with your friends having kids, and working with children, seeing just how much time they take up. I’m so not ready for that yet, it’s not that I’m particularly busy at present, it’s just that I don’t think I could conjure up the energy for it right now. It’s not all important to me, and I guess it won’t be for a while yet. And being around kids has never made me broody, not even a little bit. It’s nice to be able to give them back at the end of the day, hehe.

Whilst I enjoy planning things, I wouldn’t want to plan this one too much :) I’m probably not going to get married, so that’ll be no indication of ‘the right time’. You can never truly know when is a good time. I just hope it’s not too far away a couple of years perhaps, when I’m better established.

i am not getting any younger 37 is just around the corner – maybe it is time for me to start having them or making them with the right woman – hint hint :). i would love a party of 5 children . Maybe it is time to leave the army and be home bound so i can start a family – ponders lol .
