Diana went for one of her woman exams today, and of course she wanted to talk about making babies. We're more than aware of the time constraints we face. Diana will be at least 40 to give birth even if we conceived today, and if we have a child, it'd be nice to see them graduate from college before we retire. We're making a late start.
The advice of the doctor was pretty straight forward: Don't waste any time. We're not getting younger. I guess this reality did not really hit me until today. We want a child, and one way or another, it's gotta happen soon. If natural means don't work, we'll adopt.
The timing is weird since I don't have the slightest idea what I'll be doing a year from now, but again I draw some confidence in the way my new brother and sister-in-law have been able to rise above the challenges while moving forward with their careers, traveling and having the cutest little girl on the planet.
We're definitely entering a brave new world. It's scary as hell.
