Ok, there are plenty of ways to get kids ... and you don't have to jump into a relationship to do so.

I think while your friend was well-intentioned, perhaps the topic was a bit precipitous given all you have currently on your plate.

Anyway ... breathe .. and congrats on the work project!! xoxoxo

"Someone I loved once gave me
A box full of darkness.
It took me years to understand,
That this too, was a gift."
