Lisa- Do you happen to remember the name of the Time magazine article or what issue the article was in? DH is into reading, so maybe if I present him with some facts, he would be more open to at least thinking about it.

Kelly- I know, I'm not terribly old, but I feel like now is the time to do it. I'm a teacher, and getting pregnant now would put the birth near the end of the next school year. I know you can't always plan these things, but I'd like to at least try. As for money, yes, the economy is getting bad, but, DH just got became a tenured professor at a major university with a little bump in pay. I think he's being selfish. He sees this extra money we have and wants to do some smart things with it (a new roof) but also wants to buy other things too (a boat.) How do I separate my selfishness and his?
