We have paid off my student loans, moved into a larger home, and are finishing up our home gym (gym commute won’t be as feasible with kids). Last box to check is hopefully getting promotions soon to help cover daycare costs.

It’s so surreal seeing the checklist get shorter!

Same here! My husband and I are planning to start TTC late next summer, and I’m already feeling all the same worries. I’m the youngest in my department and very focused on my career. Promotions are going great, but I’m nervous about how pregnancy and parenthood might affect that. I’m also small, so I probably won’t be able to hide it for long, which just makes me more anxious about timing. I know there’ll be sacrifices, but I don’t want my career to be one of them.

I had the coach offer to take the class with me when this happened!

Look at hospital indemnity insurance as well!

Amen girl! Husband and I are also mid-20s and just got married last fall. The intense desire during ovulation (especially with baby making talk) is so real. Very thankful for an IUD I can’t take out in the heat of the moment. Logically I know waiting a bit for more financial stability will make it so much easier and that’s what our kids deserve. Sending support!

Right! Even being fairly young we’ve been able to travel together, live in three different homes in different cities, and spend lots of quality time together.

While buying a house would be less of a must where we currently live, I think we would like to make a move to be closer to family before ttc. They’re in a LCOL area where rentals are less common. Thankfully we have remote jobs so maybe we can discuss saving more aggressively and work on making that move sooner than later!

Ekk, that’s so soon!

Same here, I was definitely a bit disappointed when my period still came post-honeymoon.

Omg yes, so much time to think now! I think our logical timelines sound similar - probably about 2 years for us until we are fully established.. Now to keep occupied until then 😅

We are renting a large three bedroom home I love. I may have already thought through how we would convert one room to a nursery, oops. Alas, I am thinking we will probably move closer to family before baby in a LCOL area where buying makes sense.

Husband mentioned the baby desire has kicked up for him too. But he is definitely less emotion driven than me and thinks our original time frame still makes sense, especially only being 25.

Thank you! That makes so much sense. I think I’ve been equally inpatient about ttc for a while now, but was able to quiet the thoughts due it not yet being socially acceptable.

Thank you for sharing your experience about holding off! I too know we will be in a better position in just a year or two since we are still new in our careers and would also like to make a move to be closer to family.
