Don't worry--I give it two years and then he'll be ready. I'm telling you, that's the longest about any one I know goes before getting pg. Of course, I live in Utah, but still. After 2 years people get bored of each other and then they either get a cat or pg.

[/ QUOTE ]i can vouch on the cat/animal thing! we have 3 now...[img]images/graemlins/rotflol.gif[/img] [img]images/graemlins/grinning-smiley-044.gif[/img]

we've been pretty successful at "putting off kids" all it takes is asking yourself -> do you still wanna travel and be selfish with DH time & your space OR are you ready to settle and take care of little dirty things that pick their noses & start talking back in no time and hate you during their teen years with little to no support (dh always gone)?? hahaha

granted, that's totally IMO and I know it's not always like that, everyday is different & has a special uniqueness to it - but unless your ready for to stay grounded while DH flies all over and unless your sure the marriage is solid & can tackle the complete lifestyle change, get a cat & start your baby years with a dog!

sometimes i equate having kids to buying things... when I buy a trinket, I always ask myself "am i REALLY going to dust this thing"... so i do the same thing when i'm having a "oh this baby is SO cute" day. I put it in my mind that babies do grow up! babies are SO cute so you won't eat them.. just like kittens!

My thing is that i want to be able to say "I did everything that "I" wanted to do"...so far, i'm on track!

I'm thinking another year for myself to get the traveling bug out of my system (still have quite a travel list) and we'll probably "be ready" to tackle it & have our own little 1/2 black, 1/2 white green eyed wonder walking around! [img]images/graemlins/874.gif[/img]
