Parenting Plans

One of the funnest parts of being married is talking about babies, parenting, and pregnancy. Well, it's fun for us, anyway. It's fun for the same reason we love shopping together; we love making joint decisions. We're both indecisive about most things, so we do that a lot.

Anyway, we tend to agree about parenting things. Obviously we won't know how we really feel until we have one and go through everything, but we make plans anyway. For funsies. So far, we have:

• Pregnancy is going to suck so badly for me, but Steve will love it. 
• We're both excited about getting a bump.
• We have some names we like; Girl names: Hannon, Estelle, Quincy, Eve. Boy names: Sterling Archer, Quintus, Asher Gabriel, Ezekiel James. 
• He would be a fantastic father
• Babies drain my energy and are frustrating
• We can't decide what age would be "ready" for "the talk", but we know what we'll say
• We want a boy
• There is no way we can only have one kid - only child syndrome
• Two is ideal, but we definitely don't want more than three
• The earliest we'd want to have babies is next October after we get sealed, the latest would be whenever PKD says I can't have them anymore
• We want to have a stable job and an apartment before pregnancy happens

Well, that's what we have so far. I guess we don't talk about it that often, but we have fun when it happens.
