@DFWKnitter – Thanks for the link. I just started writing a post asking for suggestions on registries. I can't figure out what I'll really need.

@Newlyweds on a Budget – I didn't really plan on waiting this long, but other health issues got in the way of us planning too much earlier. I really hope I can find a job that will enable me to work a reduced work schedule, but I know that's probably what half of the women with children want too 🙂

Welcoming motherhood from a simplistic veiwpoint and not getting caught up in the advertisements of all the things babies "need" is really the best way to go, and from the past few years of following your blog I know you are already a pro at this!

I know one thing we have done now that we are getting ready to welcome our 2nd child is take the cloth diaper plunge, but there are lots of ways to be frugal with your kids without scarring them for life!

I just turned 27 and was thinking that i would *start* thinking of having babies until I'm at least 30. I want to establish myself a little bit more in my career and also earn the flexibility to perhaps work from home a bit or reduce my hours when I have kids.

It's just such a tough and personal decision. You seem to be handling it quite nicely! bravo!
