......WITH A DOG!So i am laughing just thinking about my mom Gines's face is looking like reading this...because she hints very often about having grandchildren...and believe me they are going to come moms...but......... "What the freak, is there something in the water" is what is going through my head as of now! EVERYONE i know i swear is preggo! seriously...and i know i am at reproducing age..but please lets keep the always asking to a minimum! Just today at the store i saw a lady i knew..i was telling her i had just finished school, she asked how long i had been married...i replied..almost two years, and she proceeds to ask me when i was planning on starting my family! like it's her business! i mean i barley know the woman! and believe me i get this question sooooo much lately, at least three times a day. Now i don't care with family and friends because i thinks its fun it excites them but, having this personal conversation with the whole world..why? Instead of people saying oh you are done with school, what job are you going into...they say "when are you going to start having babies"!!!! holy smokes people!...believe me it will happen and you asking doesn't make it happen any sooner! On of my best buddies who i work with at the Patch...is getting sucked into to thinking two years is too long to be married without baby in toe..and also ask es FAR too many questions about motherhood i have not even thought about...
so...Stork, please don't visit me anytime this summer..i want to play! ...Happy to be...child free….as of now, if I get the urge to procreate anytime soon, I just need to go to church...Sitting in church one day, next to a young couple with their two small children..i mean very close in age. The baby started crying and the mom started looking tense, dad was holding the toddler and she also started to cry..very loud..kicking and screaming..the newly given birth mother looked stressed and tired..i felt for her. I am the kind of person who can’t even watch American Idol because I get so nervous for the person in the show,and I myself get bent out of shape. So we sat there next to this cute family..and watched them struggle as the whole ward kept looking back at them. I don't think I will be able to handle tantrums because they will end up being my own, and they will include lots and lots of crying, I know. You could tell this cute mom just wanted to cry. After spending time with the little ones, and newborn babies, you get a bit Baby hungry….i will admit it...i have been baby hungry since i was a very small girl,the first while you have been married it’s like your bodies are programmed for this, because you start to believe this is what is next...well I always have been from the moment I turned five and knew what babies were, but I think I'm finally learning that my past urges are just because of living in Utah, were i swear people are out of their minds.. and think.."oh it will work out"..and that is true but, man that's just not my personality to just up and have a baby and not having "the list checked off"...so for being baby hungry..I need to focus on why dogs are better than babies for now... Should I post about that? Maybe I will...
so...this is why Dally.. our dog is good for us as of today!
1. If you knee them in the face (on accident, of course), they don't cry.
2. No figuring out what they'll eat.
3. No crying.
4. They will love you no matter what.
5. You can leave them in the house all day alone without child services being contacted.
6. Much less worrying altogether.
7. You don't have to birth them. (Also a perk)
8. All they really care about it treats..(well I guess that is true for kids too?)
9. They sleep through the night.
10. No diapers (They pee outside).
11. They are always happy to see you.
12. Less spoiled..well I don’t know Dally is pretty spoiled.
13. Less MONEY!
14. Your body is not totally changed because of them!

heather! i feel your pain! haha and we have only been married for 9 months! hahaha i love the thing about the dog! that is too hilarious! that is exactly how i feel! hahaha hope you guys are doing great!
Take your time, have fun, enjoy each other. People asking, sorry, but only in Utah. Here people would think you were too young.
oh my gosh! i couldn't agree more with you! what's the rush, you just graduated? what i don't understand is all these girls who go through all the schooling and time and money to get their degree, then right after the graduate they get pregnant and dont even go to work!! what a waste! at least get some work experience and a little money under your belt before you decide to put a bun in the oven! seriously.
I remember feeling the same way! I HATED people asking me "When are you going to have kids." It really is no one's business! There is not a certain time clock either. For every couple it is SO different when they should have kids! So take your time!
Ha! That's hilarious! Last week a kid in one of my classes asked me when I was going to have a baby. I was like good night I've only been married for 8 months!
I get that all the time too, and we have barley almost been married ONE year. Brantt and I just look at them and say..."We're not ever having kids..." But it's true. It's rediculous how much people think about it! I think people are having babies just to have babies... these are people who've been married for MUCH less time than me! I feel you! No babies for a LONG time!
There really is something in the water. Our family is getting 5 babies this year. Even after you have kids, you still get asked "When is the next one coming?" I got that when Dakota was 3 MONTHS old. Have fun with Kayson cause when the kids come, it's a totally different world!
I agree that it is annoying when people ask that! Its not anyone's business. It bugged me so bad! What if someone has been trying for like 3 years and then you are labeling them as a child hater or something. Its just a personal thing and no one needs to ask about it thats all... :)
ugh I couldn't agree more with you. Sam and I have been married 3 years and people used to ask us all the time...but I made such a big deal out of telling them all the reasons I dont want kids, etc. Everyone has finally stopped asking. I think they have given up on us...and I like it! Luckily our families dont say a thing. I hate it when people/families put all this pressure on newly married couples! Let them be married! Let them enjoy one another and life, travel, have fun, be selfish! I could go on a rampage forever about it! Ha Ha. So I'm proud of you! Way to stay strong and wait!
you are so funny I love you!!! of course I can't wait to have twins grandbabies. It's Tyson who bugs you more.. Kent and I waited 3 years, it was the best thing we ever did. I think we would have waited even longer if we didn't live in Teasdale I was home alone all day we had Kayson to keep me busy. I think people who get prego early are crazy you have your hole life to have a family you can never get this time back with Kayson, travel and have fun. Things change kids bring such joy to your lives but they add stress.
Love you.... MOM Gines
Hey babe you guys are so cute! You still need to come over to my parents house to see Bailee. Miss hanging with you. Love lots
Lacey
Oh man..you need time to enjoy each other and also the happiest couple I know waited 4 years and traveled together .They just love each other so much.Enjoy the journey you too.We love and support ya both..Hugs XXXX
Oh heather smeather! You're right people are just excited for the next stage of life...before it was babies, ut was 'when are you getting married?', where to school, what BF? It can be annoying but life is so fun. Every stage of it! Like the famous quote, the past is history, tomorrow a mystery and today is a gift. That is why its called present! Just enjoy where you are cuz it all goes by way to fast!
Oh Heather! I get a question similar to that all the time. "You're so cute, I just can't figure out why you're single!" In which I want to retort, "Probably because I'm defective." This comment was my favorite though, "So do you even have dating prospects or are you just to picky?"
We all face those awkward questions. We all get judged on our family status, or lack their of. I feel you even if it is for different circumstances. Love you so much!
