I am pretty sure I am a bad feminist because all I want is a baby.  Seriously.  That’s it.  All I want in the world is to be a mommy.  I know there are other things I have to do to get to that point, but what I want is a baby.  A mommy is the only thing I have ever consistently wanted to be since I was a little girl. 

It was comical how much I wanted babies as a kid.  My grandma’s allergist who I haven’t seen since I was like nine still remembers that I used to say I wanted a hundred babies.  Oh, and if you said my dolls weren’t babies, I would freak out and sometimes cry. 

All I want right now is a baby.  Of course, Josh (my husband!!!) and I know that having a baby in a one-bedroom duplex is kind of out of the question right now.  Especially because we’re still worrying about having enough money for groceries.  Our goal for savings is having enough money that we can have a baby in two or three years.  That is our goal. 

I feel so lucky to have found someone who wants a baby just as much as I do.  He’s so sweet, and I know he’s going to be a great daddy.  I just wonder if I’m the only girl who has these kinds of ridiculous maternal inklings.  It’s not something I really hear a whole lot about.  I’m really curious.  Send responses to sugarplumfairy68@gmail.com. 

Are we less maternal as a culture than we used to be?  Or does it happen later in life now?  Or is it just something we’re too ashamed to admit a lot of the time?
