I'm glad to hear that my fear of vomiting is not alone. I never had the fear until my last boyfriend. He was an alcoholic and would vomit in our bed in the middle of the night and not even know it. He perfected the art of vomiting while driving. Sad but true. Every since then I have had a problem with vomiting and with really drunk people.
I think I can provide kids with the essentials, I'm just not ready to. Thank you so much for your honest advice.

Michelle, my heart goes out to you. I have followed your story and every time there is a new development I find myself wondering why things work the way they do. I know there is a reason, I just can't figure it out. I know you would be a wonderful mother. Well, you are a wonderful mother- to your 4-legged friends.  We have 3 dogs so I can definitely relate and love to see your pictures.
Thank you for your words of wisdom. They have made me realize that turning 30 doesn't mean that I need to make this decision.

Janey, you sound very much like my mother. Except for the fact that she got started when she was 15! My older sister is 32 and has been gone from the house for 12 years, I am 1 month away from 30 and been gone for 10 years, and my youngest sister is 19 and just left last fall. My mother experienced some empty nest syndrome. She has made me promise to include a room for her and my stepfather in the new house that we are building.  Not sure how we are going to like that in the end!
Thank you for sharing your story.

I know it is going to be hard when all my kids are gone but I am hoping that DH and I will be able to find plenty to keep us busy. It will just be a different way of life and I feel confident I will be able to get used to it.
That would be a tough one to have them live with you. I know I couldn't live with my own Mother. By the way, my parents divorced when I was 10 so I know exactly what you mean about wanting to provide better for your kids. I did provide more material things for mine but the most important thing that I gave them was my time. That was something I didn't always get from my Mother and Father and I swore that I would be different and I have been. In the end your love and attention is more important than anything material things you can give children.

No way would I ever let my parents live with me! It's just so that they can stay for a weekend here and there. They live about an hour away. If we lived together now, we would bicker like children! Our relationship got much better after I moved out of the house. I wouldn't want to go back to he way it was!

Thanks sweetie. I'm ok with my childless state at the moment, the "boys" REALLY help. I'm sure once my health improves and I've got two sets of friends who will be trying very soon that the baby bug will hit me again in full force. I just know I'm no where near healthy enough right now to even think about trying.
Don't let turning 30 freak you out. Its just a number. Statistically, complications do increase at the 35 age mark but you've still got lots of time to figure things out!

I'm not looking forward to turning the big 3-0. Maybe because I am a year older than my husband and a lot of our friends are younger. Maybe I'm figuring out the trend here... I'm just not ready to grow up!

My husband will only be turning 29 this year, and we have a lot of friends who are younger. Some of my closest friends are 23-25!

30's not so bad, I'm 30 since May and got married last September. Some of our close friends have just announced that they are pregnant and I'm jealous but I've just started a new job and we're in the process of buying a new house so the timing is bad. My biological clock is really ticking loudly though. I really want kids- 3 I think but I am worried that we have difficulty conceiving etc, cos you can't take anything for granted.
I agree with the others, you don't sound ready, and while turning 30 definitely focuses you on things like that that your body is telling you it is more than ready to do, you have to listen to your head and your heart.
As for the busy thing I think that your schedules always will find room for your children if you are ready to have them.
Ginger my DH is a year younger than me too, the only time it bothers me is when I have a big birthday and the following year he is all depressed about turning that age and I'm like- my life didn't end when I got that far! Hope your late pregnancy is going well- can't wait for you to "pop" so we get baby pics and names etc.

I turn 30 on Sept 17th and my husband will be 29 on Nov. 1st. A lot of our friends are around 25. We have a couple of new girls in our office who just graduated from college and it so weird to listen to them talk about going downtown to the bars or about their male situations. They say things like "straight chillin'", "what up dog", and "girlfriend" about every other sentence. I definitely don't want to be in that place again, but listening to them makes me feel old. They suggested going bar hopping on a Tuesday night a couple of weeks back. Are you kidding?! I'm heading to bed when they're just going out! My husband & I have a nice social life but it includes a volleyball league, playing cards, going to dinner, or hanging out at the local bars. Funny how things change as you get older.
