You know you must be sending off some kind of hormonal nurturing pheromone when your partner comments on how clucky you are getting.
Yup,
that's right, I think my motherly instincts are starting to kick
in...well...at least they are making me ponder the idea of children and
not feel sick in the stomach and start doubting my ability to be a
mother and how it'll change our lifestyle and how I'm not
ready...
Instead, lately, I've been rolling the idea around on my tongue and kind of liking the taste.

I
mean, I'm not done with just practicing quite yet... Practice makes perfect don't they say? And I'm sure as hell not ready to let
go of the precautions and go with the wind balls eye.
I'm
just starting to realise that the next step after marriage is
babies...and with marriage being 15 months away babies could potentially
be 24 months if we go for gold on the honeymoon! (haha!)
I must admit that I started doing a little celebratory dance inside when I read my best friends blog The Secret Life of Samara the other day and she started discussing her "biological clock" kicking in and her "motherly instincts" starting to rare up.
The
thought that a close friend of mine may potentially be ready to start a family of their own around the
same time as us makes the whole popping out babies thing a little more
comforting.
I mean, they come from where? How? Garrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.
Okay,
so maybe I'm a little more scared of actually bringing them in to this
world then actually having a baby. I'm sure I'll regret saying that one
day! I'm assuming that Mick will have a whole new level of respect for
me after that.
My friends and family always laugh that I joke about babies coming out as 6 month olds. Not that I'd want to encourage our baby being that SIZE but I am extremely scared of tiny little babies. They're so small and fragile and I wouldn't want to break them! At least at 6 months they can hold their heads and smile (even if it is only wind!)
Babies bring such joy in to this world.
Their cute smiles, soft skin, funny little facials! I'm sure there's going to be moments when you want to do what Homer Simpson does to Bart and strangle them (my partner will love that I've referenced the Simpsons!). But I'm also sure there's moments when you're sooo angry and tired and frustrated and then they say or do something cute and your heart melts.
My cousins and friends children own my heart. They are so incredibly cute!
Maybe I'm just ready to spend more time spoiling them and dosing them up with sugar and then handing them back to their parents?
Every time I start to get clucky I think of the show that I watched the other day called One Born Every Minute. It makes me want to wear a Chasity belt.
I am also well aware that we spend a large majority of our teenage/young adult life praying NOT to get pregnant and just assume that when we want to that we can. I know that's not always the case. So I guess that's playing in the back of my mind!
My biological clock is-a-ticking and hopefully soon, we'll be able to start a family of our own!
How did you know that you were ready to start a family? Do you have children? Do you have any tips for preparing to become a family? How do children change your life? What does it feel like to be pregnant?
Look after your fertile self and those around you,

I think our kids are guaranteed to have a great sense of humour! |

When maybe I should be looking at photos like this! |
