I relate to this so much. Such a similar situation, feelings, and conversations in our house. My husband was more vocal about wanting kids, whereas I had reservations. Ultimately for me it came to three things that made my decision.
1. I realized I’d probably never be that person who was so overly excited for children, longing for it every waking moment.
2. With that expectation of myself dropped, I recognized I was ready for “the next stage of life” (at least that is how I view parenthood)
3. When I thought about 30 yrs from now, I decided I did want to have a family beyond just my husband and I.
It’s totally personal, but after those three “lightbulb moments” for me, and discussing with my husband, we decided to go for it! Currently pregnant, and I can say I am excited, I think because I got honest with myself and dropped the expectations. you’ll know what’s right for you when you decide.
