My fiancee and I had talked about having another kid before, but more or less just mentioned it and then didn't bring it up for awhile. At almost 30, he is feeling that he is ready to take the next step. I am too, but I was a bit more skeptical about it...being that I am 36 years old, and I have a 9 year old from a relationship that was sour from the beginning that lasted from 1996-1999.
 
You see, I had some minor complications with my son before he was born. I had become anemic (however that is spelled), along with my ex and I living at other people's homes. My ex and I were dirt poor then and I had real concerns about a future with a newborn again...especially my age. But my fiancee pointed out that we stable. We don't have alot of money, but we are comfortable and we have lived in this place for about 8 years now together along with my son.
 
So, the step we took today, was go into Walmart, and just browse (not buy anything) at the baby things. We looked at prices for strolles, car seats, baby clothes, bibs, cribs, toys, and pretty much anything that screamed out B-A-B-Y. My son was with and he seemed pretty siked about the whole idea as well. He is an only child and I think he really wants to be the BIG BROTHER. Hell, even me...for people that know me, would say that with my son, one is enough, but today was different. We talked about it as a planned thing and that was new for me and I do want to. Strange for me to say, but I do. Funny how change hits you like a ton of bricks when you aren't looking.
 
Anyways, after we left there, we all went out to eat at Apple B's, relaxed, and had some good family time which he haven't done in forever. Him and I talked about marriage as well. We haven't talked about that in awhile either. It sounds backwards, I know, but we thought that maybe we would get married after I became pregnent. When we are going to try this drastic change, maybe a month, or maybe 6 months, or maybe even as far as a year from now, but either way, we are going to try and see what happens. It's just feels a bit scary and exciting at the same time...but I told him that if we try, can we at least try AFTER the Crue Fest concert in July. lol!
