I am 26, my boyfriend and I have been together for over 2 years, and are homeowners together, and I am feeling my biological clock ticking! I've always wanted kids but always wanted to wait, and I'm at the point where I don't want to wait anymore. We are both done college, have great careers and steady income, and we've moved to a small family-geared town (even though we now have to commute to the city for work!) but I just feel I'm ready now. I want to get married first, and we're planning a trip to Europe next year, but after that I would really love to have children.
My brother is living with his longtime girlfriend and her two children who now call him dad. We take them in for weekends when my brother and his girlfriend have plans and it is such a joy having them in our house. It seems too empty with just the two of us! And I just yearn for some of my own. My boyfriend loves children and will be such a good father, one of these days!
