			Burger Trench - Baby-ness And I'm like "What's up with that?"

	Baby-ness
	Augh warm weather warm weather, I HATE warm weather in San Francisco! Time to make fruit smoothies. Ok so I know this is a very odd and random topic to bring up, what with finals and graduation so close, but I think my biological clock has started ticking. It's nothing major right now but my sister had her baby last year, Jenny had her baby not too long ago, and all of a sudden it's like my body has started to squirm and go "Hey! poke poke When are you gonna get around to it?" It's certainly not a matter of "OMG I must have a baby right now!!!" (that would be more than freaky) It's more like a little scratching at the back of my mind. And it's strange because I never really saw myself as the motherly type but I've found myself being a tad more hormonal, I've been noticing babies and pregnant women around me more, and every now and then, out of NOWHERE, I'll think random things like "Well I've always loved the name Noah, but what would I name a baby girl?" I see my niece and I'm just amazed at how beautiful she is, and I start to wonder what my hypothetical child would look like. And it's obviously not something I plan to do anytime soon (pff after all, I kinda need a guy for that), but down the road if I'm happily married, with a nice stable career, I could definitely see myself having children. Ok, back to work! skips off to do more painting Tags: baby, hormones Current Mood: contemplative

I can totally relate! I've always wanted a kid. I don't think I have any fantasies about the perfect baby and whatnot; it's just a desire to be a mother, I suppose. :D

It also doesn't help when so many of your former high school mates are getting hitched left and right. I can't imagine getting involved in a serious, committed relationship right now. I still feel as if I haven't lived enough yet; there's so much about being a single girl that I feel is still left for me to enjoy. :)

Hmm...Well I don't really know what to say.I'm still young but I do think if I were to have kids what would they look like and what would their names be?Crazy.If I were to have a girl I give it an uncommon name like Stormy,Austin,or Sunshine!(I actually know a girl named Sunshine :3) If I were to have a boy....hmmm mabye Damian or Kyle.

My mom named my sisters and I uncommon names.My names Autumn,1st sister is Tatumn,and 2nd sister is McKenna.Well anyway back to reading!

I think that's a natural reaction. You notice all the other families, and the dormant reproductive insticts just kick in. Happened to me a time or two recently, and I don't even have any close friends or family having babies.

I honestly want to live as much as I can without being tied down. I don't plan to have kids until my late 30's, and I'm adopting from China.

This is just opinion, but you have so much talent and such a bright looking future, I would recommend also waiting. But again, opinion. If it makes you happy, it makes everyone that cares about you happy too. x3

The warm weather is horrible. My room gets hot enough in November, but recently... I woke up this morning wondering why I burning up only to realize someone had shut all the windows in the room.

Hehehe, I think around your age IS when people get the biological clock ticking like crazy, since that happened to my mom.... she was 24 turning 25 when I was born. I definitely don't want kids right NOW, but I mull over names a lot as well. I want good names for my offspring!

I completely relate to what you're feeling, I do the same thing, in fact. Whenever i see babies or little kids, I wonder what my own would be like. I think like I owe an as-yet-unmade child their existence. I want to be a daddy. But as you say, gotta find someone to do that with first. That's sort of the hard part. As much as you want to press toward your goal, you don't want ot get in such a rush as to make mistakes about who you let yourself end up with. So yeah, I think I know the feeling.

Reading this page made me nod with agreement. Lately everyone I know has been getting married and having babies. Here i am still single with no baby and I'm getting worried that it may never happen. And worse yet, there's a nagging feeling in the back of my mind that it needs to happen soon and my maternal clock is ticking. Then I get depressed about it.

Hopefully it will happen to us sooner or later. You're a great person and I think you'll make a lucky catch to someone out there! Maybe you may meet someone in disney when you least expect it o.O

Good luck

I feel that way as well, and the fact that my younger sister is a mother makes me wonder, gosh am I running out of time or something?

Not enough to make me go out and do something drastic (heh), but still just enough to nag me. Like c'moooon, when's my time gonna come?!

I definly was not going to comment on this.. but i really hope than you read this comment, is almost a little story :S

in my 16 I fall in love of a guy.. but yeah he was not for me... so one day i say my feelings to my best friend and she gave me the most beautiful words I ever heard:

"you know why you still dont have a boyfriend?, cause you are so especial than god is taking the time to making something more especial for you sweety"

I feel the necesity to tell you this since you are a especial person i think than this phrase agrees with you ^^

I completely understand exactly what you're saying. I just turned 25 and so many of my friends have been getting engaged lately! And I've still never had a serious boyfriend!! Sometimes I'll have a dream at night that I'm pregnant or during class I'll fantasize about getting married, having some kids, and moving to Florida to have this perfect life. And honestly, one minute I want to just go for that perfect life and the next I'm thinking, "Janine, what the hell is wrong with you? Why would you want to change everything?"

I do think that a lot of it has to do with graduation coming up. For example, I'm graduating from law school in a month so that is the end of my school road. I feel a bit like Peter Pan in that I don't really want to, but now there is absolutely nothing else for me to do except grow up! It's not a good feeling, but I think subconsciously it's something I kind of want to do.

So don't worry, you're definitely not the only one. I've been feeling that way for a while myself. I also decided that even though it's terribly geeky, my first child will be named Anakin (girl or boy). I guess that just shows how much I am NOT ready to have a child! hahaha.

You're right, I think graduation does have a lot to do with it. The "student" phase of my life is coming to an end, so naturally the next step is to grow up and have a family. I think that's what appeals me the most, is having an actual family of my own. Now I just gotta work on finding a suitable guy. O_o

You'd be an awesome mom. :0

You could take your kid to Disneyland like, all the time.
And he would know all the characters and stuff.

Dude, he'd be like, the coolest kid in Kindergarten.

Well, you have to ask yourself I suppose, are you ready for a baby and will the baby put any stress on you/your career? If you think it wouldn't, then do what you think may be right for yourself :3

I'm so glad I'm not the only one feeling this way. My brother just had a baby girl this past Easter (yes, ON Easter), and though I don't particularly want a baby right now (I'm a junior in college), I know what you mean when you have that little nagging in the back of your mind. It's constantly reminding me I'm not getting any younger. :/

	From: gem_gamgee	Date: April 13th, 2008 02:59 am (UTC)		(Link)

Wah. I totally know what you mean... There's a few girls in my classes who are engaged to their boyfriends, and they all have the weddings planned out and stuff. I feel so much younger than them because I've only ever had one real boyfriend. It makes me feel like I need to go out and find a boyfriend. It doesn't help that the one boy who I do like, and who is PERFECT and exactly my type has been going out with his girlfriend for two and a half years. =/

But I'm only a senior in high school, so the logical part of my brain always corrects me when I'm thinking that way...

	Er....

If thinking of baby names counts as biological clock ticking, then the thirteen year-old Ariellabellas has best to stop typing and find herself an idle stork. Or else she's in trouble...

I'm pretty sure any kid you have will be claimed as a Child of Hatter.

Ugh, I know exactly how you feel. One of my friends had a beautiful little girl our senior year in high school, then recently another friend had a girl and I touched a baby for the first time and it was just like, "Must...have one...of...my own..." Now one of my closest friends is engaged and getting married soon, and I have that itching of "When will it happen to me?"

But then I realize I'm only 20 years old and I need keep things in perspective: college, career, then start a family. But those basic maternal instincts are always lurking around in the back of my mind and attack whenever I see a baby or a pregnant woman. ><.

Be thankful the baby switch hasn't turned on till now. It hit me when I was 14 -- to the point where I cried when I saw babies because I wanted one so, so badly. Eight years later, same response. Le sigh.

	Disney Art

I know you like art and you like Disney so I thought I'd share my latest journal entry with you. I just got inspired to write it for some unknown reason. If anyone could appreciate this artist, it's probably you! http://gapeach896.livejournal.com/174434.html

It doesn't help with the baby problem, but like I said before, it's totally just a natural thing i think. Enjoy!
