Doesn't it?! I really am super excited with all my diagnosable I'mma-Gonna-Be-A-Dad symptoms.
Sometimes I feel like I'm missing out, but really considering our situation, I know my child couldn't have a better Mom. I just can't wait to have someone on my level. I think, when s/he's like 3, I'm gonna make s/he be Yoda. :D
I said, for a long time, that I didn't want kids, but after my divorce I learned it was really that I didn't want kids with who I was with. As I dated after her, I was very picky, and each woman I was with, I found myself more and more accepting and comfortable with the possibility. I didn't exactly buy into it, and didn't want to just "change" my opinion passing it off as a phase, but it was something I had to confront if I wanted to be serious with RoseWhite, which the reality there alone was hard to swallow for me. But in the end, even before she told me the news, I knew that if I where to ever be lucky enough to catch her eye in a way that transcends a passing interest...I dunno...I just knew how bad I wanted her, and in the face of all that, the fantasy of having kids became rather exciting, frequent and natural.
Which is funny, because my mind is almost constantly filled by both her and the little one, and her mind almost compulsively obsessed with thoughts of the little one. The whole situation makes me melt like cheese whiz and inspires me to work harder. She's so damn perfect for the job, that I'm not afraid/worried about anything. I know our child will be O.K. cause I feel that she deserves that, and regardless of what happens to us, this child will want for nothing, and I will always feel blessed and lucky that she's the mommy. I just don't know how I got so lucky.
*flush*
This thread is making me sad.
I feel like everyone is getting pregnant but me lately and I want kids so much. It doesn't help that yesterday the guy I've been dating told me another woman he was dating is pregnant. She's only 6 weeks pregnant and we've been dating for about that long, but still...
It feels like every failed relationship gets me further and further from having kids. Ever.
Nina, I felt exactly this way exactly one year ago. I am dead serious. I was so there, and it really felt awful at times, and I sometimes punished myself with it mercilessly. But. Trust me. There's hope!Quote:

I'm not sure how old you are, but I was even on the verge of starting to worry about 'declining fertility" in my thirties, thanks to media scare tactics. It never occurred to me that I could have, basically, the equivalent of a teenage accident - which is thus far the best thing that ever happened to me.
Obviously there's no way I can predict how it might take shape and manifest in your life, but I do believe that if this is something you really want, and you start to somehow create space for that, even in some small way - I'll bet anything it will happen for you.
Lysondra=brilliant.
This is the future ya'll:

I'm Mexican and I'm getting a kick out of these replies. There are scores of millions in my gene group. I don't need to add to it. An atom bomb could not obliterate my gene pool, verdadmente.
gah... every one around me is either pregnant or trying (normally successfully) :( gah... I don't like this bug :(
