DS is almost 2 1/2 and I am having baby fever. We will definitely buy a house sometime between now and next summer. It will be a lot easier to take care of our 2 dogs if they can have a backyard to play in, so I don't have to take them out for walks all the time. Plus we're looking forward to the convenience of somewhere to park the cars (driveway, garage). In winter, we have to park two blocks from the apartment and trudge through blinding wind-driven snow because street parking isn't allowed in winter. DH and I decided that we would wait to TTC until we have a house, but I'm pretty sure we'll buy one within the next nine months. Our income is increasing and our debt is shrinking, and we've been able to put some money into savings. So should we start TTC?

I'm a firm believer in that saying "If you waitn until you are 110% ready to have children, you might never be ready." (Or something like that, I'm paraphrasing here... ) I say go for it.

If I waited until I was "ready" for children, I wouldn't have any!

Of course, if I waited until TTC before getting pg, I'd only have one child.

Alrighty then, DH agreed, we're TTC! And I just found a listing for a house that I love. 4 bedrooms, 2 full bathrooms, clean, and just over 100K.

Well, we just made an offer on a different house today. It's smaller, and a fixer-upper, but it's even less expensive! I have a feeling we will get it!
