I'm 26 years old, in a great relationship, we are about to buy a house and everything is going great.

I have always wanted kids, but the past few months, my baby fever has been BAD. Like to the point where I cry if I see a video of a child doing something cute or seeing all these positive pregnancy tests on this app.

My boyfriend has mentioned having kids in passing but we hadn't ever had a serious conversation about it until last month when we had a pregnancy scare. My period was like 2 weeks late and I texted him about it and he said all good things like, "Well you know I am here for you no matter what and you will make a great mom." And stuff like that. I told him I was just worried because we hadn't ever like actually talked about having kids yet and he said, "Well, I've never seen myself having kids but I'm not against it at all."

I ended up getting my period a few days later and I was secretly super disappointed but I got over it.

Since then, he has mentioned having kids a lot more. At his mom's birthday dinner last week, he told her, "We are gonna make you aweosme grandchildren, mom." And I said, "We are?" Just because he hadn't really flat out said it like that ya know and he turned to me and said yeah. So I was internally like freaking out but kept quiet.

He tells me his only worry is money. Like nobody is really actually financially ready to have kids you know. Plus we are about to get this house and everything so I'm not too worried about it at the moment but I sit here all the time and just imagine what it would be like to have kids with him. I just long for it and I feel like I'm driving myself crazy haha I don't want to mention it to him right now because our main focus is getting this house so I figured this would be a good place to get that off my chest haha
