I’ve always secretly wanted but been very wary of the concept of having children. So much so that it would make me uncomfortable and sad and annoyed to be around them at work (I’m a server, I am notorious for not wanting to serve tables with kids I don’t already know). I never felt anything when I saw babies or little ones, rather, I go nuts when I see any dog. But over the past 2 weeks, I’ve been having loving thoughts when seeing children. it’s a longing I’ve never felt before.... I’m in love and it’s only a few months old but I’m confident I want to spend the rest of my life with him. The last 3days, I experienced these longings and tender feelings much, much more strongly. My breasts are much larger and I haven’t gained weight anywhere else; that’s not an area that fluctuates for me with my cycles. I took a pregnancy test and am negative, which I had mixed feelings about. is it really just being 35 and my body is telling me it’s time??? the last period was MUCH lighter than usual and so is this one. I don’t keep track of my cycles so I don’t know when I was supposed to ovulate but since I wasn’t pregnant, I’m assuming it was due to ovulation...?
