Since my husband and I got married we've occasionally talked about having kids and the conversation is usually the same:
Me: "I want kids."
Him: "Not now."
Me: "Well, now is the perfect time...We have no expenses...I have a great job."
Him: "I'm in graduate school, making $10k a year. Talk to me when we BOTH have fulltime jobs."
Me: deep sigh...
Well, here is the quote of the day from my lovely husband after having another such conversation:
"Kids: they're like teddy bears that cost a lot of money."
I love my husband and do appreciate his side of the argument. Having kids does cost money and is (or so I've heard from everyone who has one) a lot of work. He is very rational and I am very irrational when it comes to this discussion...I wish it wasn't that way, but there it is.
Stay tuned...

No time is the "perfect" time. If Ana can have a kid in medical school, anyone can. We make the collective income of -90,000K and we are making it work :) Keep the blog up, it's pretty cool.
