My husband and I got married last October. We planned to start ttc this September! We were even more excited when my sister had a baby 3 months ago! We would have kids close to the same age!

She asked us to babysit her daughter Monday-Friday from 8am to noon just for this week while she volunteers at a church camp.

It’s Tuesday and my husband and I have decided to push back ttc for at least a year! Haha

I have to find humour in the situation because it is kind of funny... I am 28 and my husband is 32. We both wanted kids, and knew they were hard work... but holy shit!!

4 hours a day and we were counting down the minutes till my sister came back!

I’m sure it’s different when it is your own baby and not someone else’s baby.

But we both came to the realization that we are just not ready yet to be parents.

We absolutely will still have a baby! Maybe in a year or two when we’re ready to give up our quiet, calm life for the chaos of a family of 3!

I have to give all of you moms a huge round of applause!! You are all the real MVP’s and I don’t know how you do it! I respect the hell out of moms! 👏👏👏

I think that everyone who has baby fever or is planning on getting pregnant should be made to babysit a teething 3 month old for a week! If you can survive without taking a nap or crying, you are aloud to have a baby of your own! 😂
