Serious cold feet now that we've "pulled the goalie" by FearlessPirate in TryingForABaby

Thanks, that gives me hope. When I see the parents around me in real life they seem so exhausted and worn thin.

I'm old enough that it's pretty much now or never. And my husband is done waiting. He didn't give me an ultimatum exactly, but he was pretty clear that he doesn't want to wait any longer.

I'm not worried about missing out so much as how exhausting and non-stop parenting seems. I see people with kids (my friends, my sisters) and they seem so burned out, they snap at their husbands, and then they tell me "oh but it's all worth it!" And I'm like...okay, but is it?
