How to Know When You Should Have Kids

Hello!! How’s it going? I’m pretty excited to start a new week and get crazy with my “to do” list. I definitely enjoyed the weekend and was not productive at all. Super random, but my gym doesn’t have early morning classes on Monday. So while I wanted to hit up the gym for a class I did a short run with a few intervals. I’m hoping to get in some strength in a little bit too.

Post-run I made breakfast and ate PB out of the jar. Hey, no one else eats it so it’s totally okay. That is science.

This weekend Shape Magazine sent Vegas a super cool box for him to sleep in, he loves it!

Okay, now let’s address a huge life decision – how to know when you should have kids. This is a tough one and I’ve heard several people say, “You’ll never be 100% ready, you just gotta go for it.” One of my friends even told me you should start trying to make  a baby when you’re like 70  or 80% ready, because that’s as good as it gets. Noted.

But I feel like the best way to tell if you’re ready to have a baby is A.) you want to and have someone you love that is responsible and loving and you want to have in your life for the next 20+ years that also wants this

or B.) all your friends have babies and you’re left out and they don’t hang out with you anymore because instead of going to happy hour they’re going to the park and on play dates and all they talk about are their babies and they eat goldfish and juice instead of wine and cheese and so basically you’ve lost your friends and the only way to get them back is to have a baby.

I’ll work on that later because today I was busy hanging out at a pumpkin patch with my cool mom friends and their babies. Irvine Regional Park has a very cute pumpkin patch with rides and activities for kids.

 

I was the creeper without a baby at the maze. Next time I’m going to borrow my niece.

On the way home I chomped on a pear and hit up a few stores for almond milk and other random stuff.

Question: On a scale of 1 to 10 how much did my baby making advice help you in your life decisions…

1 = this was the worst and you’re probably dumber for reading this post

10 = I’m going to hire Monican to be my full time life coach and call her Buddha or something
