My biological clock just went off.

It's the wierdest thing... I'm 23, my husband is 23. I have an IUD because my husband and I do not want to have children, if not ever than at least for a good long while. Up until last week, I seriously had no desire to have kids. HOWEVER...

Last week sometime I really felt myself going "Aww... wouldn't it be sweet to have a kid? Someone to raise and care for, to bring love and joy into our lives? A little genetic blend of hubby and me?" To which I responded "What the crap?" because up until that point I've NEVER even remotely considered having kids.

I think a tiny part of it could be attributed to working at the YMCA in their childcare center once a week and being around the kids. However, I specifically like that job because I get to give the kids BACK at the end of the day.

Have any of you ever expierenced this? Being happy and child-free and then all of a sudden thinking "Hrm... I think I want a kid!" It's WIERD...
