Babies

I wonder if it's because I'm getting older or if more people are having babies lately. There have been 4 babies born this year that I know and a friend from high school is pregnant. Granted one of those is DBF's latest sibling (his mom and step-dad decided to give it a go) but still, that's kind of a lot of babies.

I guess it's probably because I'm getting older, though 2 of those babies were accidents, and people my age are getting married or have been married and are having kids. Some times I look at those tiny, cute little people and I want one. They're just so amazing.

And then I think about all the things I would have to give up in my life. I kind of enjoy being able to do what I want when I want. DBF and I don't get to spend a lot of time together because of work and the time we do get to have can be spent however we feel like it. We don't have to worry about babysitters or nap times.

But even thinking about alone time with DBF and freedom, there's a part of me that really wants to get on this baby thing. I think my biological clock is getting a little worried that I haven't started reproducing yet. I'm only 25 and DBF is going to be 23 in a couple of months and by today's standards that's pretty young for kids. But people around me really need to quit popping out babies. It messes with my willpower.

Does anyone else feel like that? Or is it just me?
