So, I'm a 24 year old female. My husband and I have been together for 5 1/2 years. We just got married in August of this year (2007) We had to take a couples course...because I wanted a wedding at a catholic church. Anyways... we have talked about kids plenty! I want a baby now and he doesnt. he wants to wait for another year or 2 before. I always wanted to have them young. It makes everything... I dont know... complete? You finally have a family...you finally get to teach someone (a part of you) everything you know! It's so amazing, to be able to do something like that..dont you think?
Seems like everyone around us are having babies....might I add.. that is not totally why I want a baby right now... but since they are our friends....our babies will be able to play together and grow up together.
He mostly says it's a money thing as to why we cant have a baby yet. If everyone waited until they thought they would have enough money...I dont think anyone would have a baby!
So basically....I think I need to stop bringing up this baby issue to him... I think it's not so great for our relationship....I know a year isnt really that long... but it's just I dont understand what he is waiting for?

Any suggestions on how I can cope with waiting or how i could possibly talk him into having a baby... I mean... you never know how long it could take to get pregnant for one.... and for two...you still have 9 months before the baby is born.
