Happy New Year to everyone!
Come New Years Eve I kind of had an epiphany. I just realized that I’m almost 28 years old, not married and without children.
For the longest time, I would say that I didn’t want children. They were annoying, they took up too much time, or were just a chore.
Now, after being with my boyfriend for the last 4 years, I want to get married and I want children. I’ve also been doing some research online and the chance of birth defects and other complications regarding pregnancy start happening after the age of 28.
I want to talk to my boyfriend seriously about it as I’d like to make out a rough 5 year family plan. In the next three years, I’d like to get married, and within the next 5 I’d like to have children.
It’s driving me crazy to think about but at the same time, I realize that I still have lots of time. I know that he wants to marry me, he said that’s his plan. We haven’t really discussed seriously if we want children but over the last few years, I’ve decided that I want at least one.
One of my resolutions this year is to be more open and honest with him and where I stand. I want to make sure that he’s a part of my plans, just as much as I am.
I love him, and want to marry him in the next few years. Here’s hoping he feels the same!
Wish us luck!
