I feel like that's one of those questions that has no good answer...I actually just read an article in Women's day or one of those magazines they have at the doctor's office (while my husband was getting an MRI) and it was surprisingly beautiful. It was written by a woman who married late, decided with her husband that they'd be open to having kids but wouldn't take any extra measures to do so, and basically lived their life. She wrote about how much she enjoyed sleeping in, travelling, etc. And then they got pregnant. At 40+ something. And after the shock wore off, she was really happy about that too! <br /><br />What am I saying...I too enjoy the "perks" of not having kids. And I don't think there's anything wrong with that! I'm not going to waste my Saturday mornings feeling guilty about sleeping in =) But if we are blessed with a child, I will do my best to enjoy that too! And I have a hunch it wouldn't be impossible...<br /><br />I don't know, maybe don't think too much about this question? You certainly don't have to do everything licit in pursuit of a child, and I guess the devil is in the details as far as what both you and your husband are comfortable with...and yes, I'm sure your husband has experienced all the IF trials differently - I know mine has. I will pray for your discernment, peace, and contentment with where you are now!

I find myself asking the...That is a tough question! I find myself asking the same thing some days. But usually I answer with a "YES" after just a little bit of the "but I like all the freedom I have now" thoughts. So my desire for freedom does not outweigh my desire to be a mom yet. We'll see as time goes on. But I do understand your feelings. And they are definitely valid. Prayers for you and your husband as you sort through where you're headed from here.
