This is an awesome post, Emily. Thank you for sharing! I got the same questions at the same points you did (we are the same age) and after I got married, forget it… it’s been a constant barrage of baby-related harassment. We just bought our first house in the suburbs and every “congratulations” was followed up with “so which room is the nursery??” Sorry, but unless you are close to me and know my heart, don’t assume to know anything about my level of desire for procreation. What if I didn’t want kids? Or if we’d be trying and found out we couldn’t have them? It’s just awkward. Personally, I want to have my own criteria met in terms of accomplishments/goals achieved before kids. Whenever I tell this to someone, I am asked the same “are you planning to freeze your eggs?” question. Ask me about my job, ask me where my next vacation is, ask me what’s the next goal on my horizon… don’t ask me about my ovaries.
Like you, I adore and love children, and I do want to have them – but I feel it’s up to each person to determine what works for them, and when. I may be in the minority, but I don’t believe in living life for the “what if”… you are doing what feels right to you in the now, and it’s NOW that you have to live in. You are still young, Emily – in fact, according to my obgyn, women under 35 are the minority for first time mothers in/around the big cities! – and you still have a whole world of choices ahead of you. Some may involve kids, some may not. Like everything else in life, you will take things as they come and do what feels right. Maybe I sound like some cliché Pollyanna but I firmly believe in happy endings – even if they aren’t the ones we would have written for ourselves in our bright-eyed 20s. Happiness and fulfillment come in so many different forms, and continually shift as we evolve. Enjoy being an auntie, enjoy being YOU, and let the pieces fall where they may in the interim.
