A girlfriend from first year had her baby the other day. A gorgeous, nearly-ten pound boy. He came smack dab in the middle of final exams. So, instead of writing 2 more 3 hour exams, she was in labour for thirty hours. Lucky girl!
It got me thinking about babies. In my late twenties, when I was so busy playing catch up with school and not even started down the path of my career, I decided not to have my own. I do love children and always want children in my life but there are a lot of other things I want to. Like a fulfilling career in a field I'm excited about, a marriage where I have lots of time to enjoy my husband, a chance to travel and have adventures. But every once in awhile, when I see happy family pictures of my old friends and their kids, I think, did I make the right choice?
I have to take stock of what's really best for me. Can I be happy without having children? I am happy.
