Yes, having a kid will add some stressful moments, but you have a great relationship basis and if you have already survived all the difficult times infertility brings then you can definitely handle the ups and downs of adapting to life with a child! dubliner in Deutschlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531838540641364420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-69591347291583608892016-07-24T13:00:40.844-07:002016-07-24T13:00:40.844-07:00I like the idea of the list a lot.

Your life sounds awesome! I think it's so important to look at your partner and think "I hit the jackpot" even as realistically there are compromises everyone makes. As for keeping up with hobbies you enjoy after there's a child in your life, it is entirely possible it just will take more effort than it does now. I am sure you will share parenting responsibilities but know that is VERY important (how you share is up to you, but it must feel fair to both partners). Mr Turtle and I do one activity outside the house a week and we support each other for that. You don't want a situation where one spouse feels they are doing all the work while the other has all the fun. With those ground rules, I think it's entirely possible to keep up your awesome life with an extra dimension.torthúilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07738803052167620020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7998166587816121679.post-28184802383475268332016-07-24T08:53:30.591-07:002016-07-24T08:53:30.591-07:00A clear case for knowing what you want and holding...A clear case for knowing what you want and holding to that knowledge. <br /><br />Middle Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12334580430376973159noreply@blogger.com
