I am the youngest of 6 kids. The only exposure with babies I've had is with my neices & nephews. Which, I'll admit is more exposure than most people have. But even at that, I've never had the responsibility all on me. When I think of being pregnant, the actual pregnancy doesn't really scare me. The process of actually pushing a baby out of my body freaks me out. I don't like needles. The fact that for an epidural they shoot a giant needle into your spine, scares me to death. That's fear talking.
I know that Heavenly Father wants us to build a family. When I look at my life now and my life in a couple years, there is always going to be something that we could use as an excuse to keep waiting to have children. Meanwhile, we're getting older and older. When I think of my children at graduation, I don't want to be one of those parents that people look at thinking "Grand parents.. Parents..?" I want it to be clear that we are the PARENTS.
Satans wants us to be scared, wants us to keep waiting- until it's too late. He doesn't want us to follow Heavenly Fathers plan. All more of a reason for people to not wait. So, we're not.
