So, you know how they say that a holiday isn't complete without some kind of awkward family moment? This Easter was no exception for us.
My immediate family lives in three states and two countries, so we spend a lot of time on Skype on holidays. Last weekend it was just us, my two little brothers and my Mom. We were chatting, getting warmed up in the conversation when all of a sudden Mom asks, "So have you made any progress on having kids?"
Now, I don't know about you, but my brain basically interpreted that as, "are you having lots of sex?" Which is a conversation I don't want to have with my Mom. Ever. Especially not in front of my little brothers (who, by the way, were having a hard time picking their jaws off the floor).
Luckily Chris is quick on his feet and said, "Well, insofar as babies are something that will happen in the future, and we are currently progressing through time, yes we are making progress toward having babies." Everyone kind-of giggled and we moved on to safer topics.
This is not to say that kids aren't something we've talked about. We've certainly made progress in mentally preparing ourselves for that step. But we're definitely still figuring things out. We just moved to a new state, started new jobs and bought a house. Making another big life change seems.. Well on the one hand like the next logical thing, and on the other more like "holy CRAP can we just breathe for a minute?!"
So, I think for now we'll leave it at that. "Kids..?"
