Babies???

I feel like every sick day I take and any mention of not feeling well or having to go to the doctor results in people thinking or blatantly asking if I am pregnant... Which is annoying so I thought I'd just spell it out here. 

We do want kids. Preferably two, preferably one of each and preferably twins so it's done with once. LOL. Scott and I are not ready for kids right now for a variety of reasons. One big one is we aren't ready to give up our freedom to do whatever we want, whenever we want. Another is that we want to be 100% financially stable which we are not right now. We have had a wonderful life doing lots of things but we are in debt and currently trying to pay it off. After which, we will be buying a house. I am also extremely overweight. I do not need/want to add extra pounds on top of what I have already. So I need to be healthier for that to happen. And finally, Scott has several vices he would like to quit before it happens. Medically, both he and I are 100% ready to go- we've been checked out with many tests. If it happens, we'll handle it. But we are hoping it won't for a couple more years.


However one thing weighs on my mind. I know the research about having babies when you are older are not great. It invites more problems with pregnancy, child birth and genetic issues in general. Plus it's harder to even get pregnant to start with. I believe the age is generally considered to be difficult for all of the above reasons is 35. Five years is a long time but I feel like I am having a "Rachel Green" moment where when she turns 30 she figures out it's too late to execute her life according to the plan she has set forth. I have a short amount of time to get the above figured out in time to have two kids before 35. And it's time to stop putting it off.
