When are you going to have a baby?

Good night, how often do hubby and I get this one? I hate this question on so many different levels. I have had so many of my friends have trouble with fertility and I can't even imagine how this question would pierce your heart if you had just miscarried or were pumped full of hormone shots in hopes that you will ovulate. Unless you truly know someones story, just don't ask.  It's not your business.

So, to the lady at the grocery store, numerous student's parents and the random people at TJ Maxx...yes, hubs and I have been married almost 6 years. Yes, we recently bought our first home. No, that does not give anyone the right to ask how my uterus  is doing. No, it does not make my husband and I selfish.  Truth be told, we got engaged at 22 and married at 23. We have had some awesome opportunities in our marriage that wouldn't have been as easy to do if we did have kids. Currently, it's a choice not to have children and we feel pretty happy about riding out our 20's child free.

I love all my mommy friends and think their kids are awesome. I think the toughest job in the world is being a parent. I love the baby posts on facebook. I love baby sitting (6 months and up please, the whole head falling off thing terrifies me) I love squeezing cute baby thighs when I see them.....and I enjoy the fact that I can hand a baby promptly back to their mothers...because this girl just isn't ready yet. This baby is the only one I'm ready for:
