[quote=Anonymous]DH and I were on the fence for a long time. Neither of us felt a big urge to be parents. Then I found out I was pregnant. We hadn't been trying so it was a surprise - and honestly, not a welcome one at first. Had it not happened that way, I don't know that we ever would've made the decision on our own to take the plunge. I wasn't even sure how I felt when the dr handed me DC for the first time! But now, 2 years into it? I finally feel "settled" or maybe "grounded" is the right word - and it was a feeling I hadn't even known I was missing. its not always fun, convenient or fulfilling, but there is no way to describe how it feels to come home from a crappy day at work and have two chubby arms wrap around your neck and hear your DC yell, "Mama!!"

OP, there's no way to know how you'll feel about being a parent, and that, coupled with not having a strong desire in the first place is what makes it so unclear. It's a scary decision to make in a lot of ways. All I can tell you is that being a parent has enriched our lives so much more than we thought possible and I wouldn't change it for the world. GL.
