The BIG 4-2

NO, that's not how old I am now!....BUT..... it is the absolute last age I can be before we will officially stop TTC. The hubs & I had a little talk about all of this and that's what age we decided on. J's whole theory is, if you have a kid at the age of forty-two, the kid will be out of the house by the time retirement age comes(60). But seriously, I think it will be more like late thirty's - 40 at the latest. Mainly for health reasons and a little because we don't want to be 60 and have a 10 year old running around.

This all happened after a realization I had this work at week. I was sitting in my cubicle when all of a sudden this thought rolled into my head that next year I will be thirty.....30, the very age my mom was when she had me.......her fourth child. That's right, she had all 4 of her kids by the time she was thirty and I will be thirty next year and still not have any children.

We talked a little about adoption, we are not against it at all, but its not what we want to do just yet. Also talked about J having the varicocele (sp) surgery. That's not an option right now either, since J would have to take off work for 6 weeks and we can't afford that right now, especially since there is no guaruntee it will work. Technically, he would only have to go on light-duty, but his job doesn't have that so he would just have to take a leave of absence.

I had always said that we would stop TTC if it ever became a problem in our marriage. But, I guess it's only normal to have a stop age, so that's our age.
