It took us a while to be ready, too. And even when I was pregnant, I didn't feel completely ready. I also believe there's never a PERFECT time. Still, after 3 years of severe postpartum depression, a diagnosis of OCD, and then Bipolar after having kids, 2 c-sections, being hospitalized for 6 weeks on bedrest before my daughter was born (premature and stayed for another 3 weeks), I am still so glad I have them and could not imagine my life without my kids. They are my joy and my life. If you do decide to have kids, it's one of the most amazing and rewarding experiences you'll ever have. Not sugar coating it - it's not easy, and I say that from experience. But definitely worth it all.
