We wanted children but were putting it off, actually I was putting it off with the excuse that we had to get in a more stable financial situation. That was just an excuse, the reason was immaturity on my part. I wasn't ready yet.
Got a well-paying job, there were no longer any obstacles that could be used to rationalize, so with some apprehension we decided it was the right time to try. After a few months she was pregnant. Our son was born 6 years ago, I was 27 at the time. We also have a daughter now.
It hasn't been easy, we don't rely on family or outside help to raise them, mostly, and there are other things you simply can't predict. But such is life. No regrets, life is much richer than before. Children add a new dimension to life.
All the delays before we finally committed to having children seem so pointless in retrospect. We were just putting off moving on in life.
