Which Phase of Parenthood Are You In?

August 13, 2008

Some women are born to be mothers and others are caught off guard when the thin pink line appears after they pee on a stick. Babies change your life and there are lots of stages involved in becoming a mama. Whether you are in the planning stage, the pregnancy phase, going though the adopting process or already a parent — it's an incredible experience. Which best describes your situation?

I am 25 weeks pregnant! I'm scared and happy at the same time! I am 36 and this is my 1st! I have already been thru the amnio and the waiting 10 days to find out that my baby does NOT have downs! Thank goodness. That was the longest 10 days of my life!

Two little tykes running around- 6 yr old and 3 year old. I 'thought' I wanted another one, but don't know yet. I think the hubby is fine and really happy with just two, but he understands I am not quite ready to say we are done. Some other things need to be sorted out (houses, schools) first.

haha LiLRuck! Oh how I wish :) ... unless God decides we need a little blessing before then it'll be about 4-5 years. :(

No kids, but eventually... :) I think I still have some growing up to do first ;)

I've actually never been into kids, and I surprise myself every day when I click on lilsugar several times a day. I think I'm beginning to come around and want a bay of my own maybe in the next year. I want to make sure my husband and I are both financially stabe before taking such a huge step in our lives. I'm afraid of pregnancy and all the changes it causes to your body - so, so far we've talked about only having one... I'd love to adopt, but at the same time I'd rather have just one child. So we'll take our time deciding whether adoption is right after we've had the first one.

I have one son and I think I'm done! He's a lot of fun but it's a lot of hard work as I am a single mom. Wouldn't have it any other way though!

I have an 8 year old, 7 year old and an almost 2 month old. We are DONE! One boy, two girls. I feel very fortunate.

I probably should have chosen other but I chose I have kids. I have one baby girl at the moment but am also expecting baby number 2 in Mar :)

We're in the planning part. We got married about four months ago and will probably start trying in about a year. We just moved to another country and want our situation to be a bit more stable before starting a family.

I have a 9 year old and a soon to be 4 year old and would like another baby but I think my eggs are past their sell by date. :(

wadewifey3 - Thanks! I intend to, I'm not in a rush to give it up to a loser. I'm picky ;)

I have a 21 month old son and we have just recently started our process for international adoption. I have to admit, I am pretty glad it will take a year or more. I can't imagine having two children right now!

I have two kids - 3yr old boy and 16-mo old daughter - and I would love to have two more! My husband is cutting me off at 3 so one more baby and that will be it for this family. I am from a family of 4 kids and thrive (good or bad) in the chaos of a large family. I've always wanted 4 kids and even after the hustle and bustle of two, I haven't changed my mind!

a 9 and 1/2 year old and a 7 month old. The first was easy peasy all the way. No terrible anything... new bebe is a handful (adorable, but work) I imagine I will have terrible twos, threes, fours through the 30s ;-) That's what I get for having the easy one and not understanding why everyone else couldn't control their kid ;-)

Good for you Californiagirl, keep that V-card for as long as possible.

I'm in the trying to conceive stage. I have been for a while now I hope soon I can move on to the next stage ;)

I don't have kids, but cousin's kids are like my own and I hurt when they hurt, I get mad or sad when they're sad or mad and I don't let anyone give them crap, but I also rule with a firm hand so they know they can't take advantage of me. I can't wait to have kids!

californiagirlx7 4 years 40 weeks

I'm a 19 year old unemployed college student who still has her V-card. Needless to say, I'm not having a baby anytime soon. I would like to have one baby by the time I'm 25, but we'll see how it goes. Eventually, I want to have 4 kids, but I might stop after the first one. It depends on the experience.

We have a 14 month old. I love virtually every second of it. I really feel as though I was born to do this. Mommyhood is without a doubt the best job I have ever had. Ideally, I'd love to have 3, but I'm guessing my husband will be set with 2. We will just have to see what happens.

I'm about eight weeks pregnant with my first child, and couldn't be more excited!!
