[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Having kids is a pain in the butt. DH and I avoided having one for 12 years  - through 6 years of dating and  6 years of marriage.  Then suddenly there came an ache so deep to have a baby of our own that it caught us by surprise.  When we decided to have a kid and got pregnant (within 2 months after ditching BC) my DH could not even wait for the 9 months.  He wanted the baby NOW. To wait for the 40 weeks was a torture for both of us.

The second one was easier because we knew we wanted to relive the experience that we were having with the firstborn but also we wanted our firstborn to have siblings.  The pregnancy flew by and I used to feel the happiness swirling and rising inside of me  like actual champagne bubbles.  The moment my second was born and I looked at my DH and both my kids in the hospital room I felt a great sense of relief - as if my family was complete and home at long last.  [/quote]

Question- you and your husband both were more or less okay with not really having kids and then BOTH wanted one at the same time? Did one of you wanting the kid then ignite that want in the other? [/quote]
