The baby issue is true for me too. Neither of us was ready for a long time. H started pushing for one out of the blue a few years ago--probably around when MLC started. Then it turned out that I had fibroids and might not be able to have kids. Luckily the surgery was successful and I am physically able; that kick in the teeth also made me realize that I was ready...and by then he was in full MLC and A.
Thank god I don't have children as I deal with this. I hate to think that the window of opportunity is closing as I age, though. I guess we'll see what happens further on in the journey. I heard a great quote the other day on a Wayne Dyer program: "If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans."
Hope, I'm lighting a candle for your job! Be well.
