It's raining babies!

We just found out about another close couple of ours is pregnant! (not sure about the wording of that) All together that makes it 4 couples that have recently announced pregnancies in the last 6 weeks ... ! Congrats you soon to be parents!! Ahhh, the miracles of life!

When to have kids and how long to stay in London is a question we have been struggling with for the last 2 years. I guess for married couples (that want kids) it's about finding that fine balance between enjoying married life and not starting too late - and we all have an idea in our minds what the best age for kids would be.

For me personally, I'm really enjoying the life we have here in London, but it'd be heartbreaking if we put off having kids in favour of travelling the world and seeing sights and then missed our chance to have kids. I hope my "boys" are going ok down there - they've spent a lifetime encased in briefs!

Another consideration (if you plan on having more than 1 child) is how you space having your kids...? I think it's a fine balance again - you want to have them close enough in age to all be able to play together, without making it feel like one continuous pregnancy for the baby factory (ie mushie)!

so many more questions: are we adult enough? are we ready for this change to our lifestyle? what should we name the boy/girl? what if they get the combination of me and mushie's hairy eyebrows???
