When I got married eight years ago, I did NOT want kids, and if I had to, just one. About a year into the marriage, the biological clock started ticking and the maternal desire began. It got stronger and stronger as time went by. We were holding off because my husband wanted to get our debt under control. By that time, it was torture to not "try to get pg". I had to wait another year and then we started trying. I con'd almost immediately; and was blest with the most beautiful, affectionate child I could ever imagine having. What a gift from God.
I pray your journey is a happy one, and God bless!!!

And some of us wait for that desire to kick in, and it truly never does. Does that mean we should have kids anyway? (Rhetorical question, not a personal one). I didn't think so, myself.
