[quote=Anonymous]A couple things: If you feel this now, know that it will only wildly increase over the next couple years. When you say "having kids", do you mean you want more than one? If so, I agree you need to start trying immediately and obviously cannot take for granted that it will happen (or that you'll even get to have one, obviously). But my point is more that you'll need to start trying asap, and then assuming things go well and you conceive and have a baby (again: not a given), you'll need to start trying for your second when your first is still pretty young. SO, you'll have an intense few years there. The baby/toddler years are amazing and so tough at the same time, and going through them in your late 30s/early 40s is an additional level of exhaustion. I'm guessing the friends you see loving being parents are largely out of that phase - you obviously would get there too (and if you do want kids...trust me, those tough years are totally worth it. They're very sweet years too! Just lots of work)[/quote]
