Any other mommies in waiting?

[girlygirl29]

Hi Ladies,

I am new to the group, but love PS already...so much good information and a great community! I am a lady in waiting, I think it will be in the next month or two (as I picked the setting

). I have been with my SO for 3 years and we have a 20 month old daughter. She was a surprise, but such a blessing. We can''t imagine our lives without her! We have lived together since I was pregnant and are now ready to move forward...engagement and wedding in 2010. I was just wondering if there were any other mommies in waiting out there too?

Welcome to the group. Congratulations on a wonderful daughter & upcoming engagement.


I''m not pregnant (and am doing everything I can to keep it that way) but thought I''d say hello anyway.

Welcome to LIW and the forum!! Not a mommy in waiting nor an LIW but just wanted to welcome you anyways!

Thanks ladies, I appreciate the welcome...I guess I am alone on this one.

We did do things a little out of order, but we love eachother and we WANT to marry eachother just like the rest of you!

You''re not alone!
FF, and I have been together just short of 9 years, and have a 5-year-old DD! We''ve been talking marriage since the beginning of our relationship (and, were actually planning on getting married the year after DD was born), but every time we think we''re about to get ahead financially, we hit a road bump.. *sighs*. As much as I''d be happy with a JoP thing, and just get it done, and over with, already, I''m sort of glad we''ve waited.. well, today I am.. some days I''m not so sure! LOL!

MrsHToBe- I can totally understand how years can just fly by. Life is there everyday with all the ups and downs of parenthood and you turn around and a year has gone by. I feel the same about feeling differently about it from one day to the next. But at the end of the day I want a traditional engagement and to plan a wedding and it didn''t change after my DD. Good luck to you and your family!

While I''m not a mom-in-waiting, I am a mother of four. I have a 3-year-old girl, 5-year-old boy, 9-year-old girl, and an almost 12-year-old boy.

Hello GirlyGirl and welcome to PS and LIW!

Well, I am a mommy in waiting!

In fact, we are in a somewhat similar situation. Our little boy will be a year old in a couple of weeks and wasn''t a total surprise, but joined us sooner than we thought might happen! We love him to bits, but it is hard to save for an engagement and a wedding when you have a child and only one of you is working.

At times I felt we should have just gotten married, but my SO wants to do "things properly". I am surprised by how often I read this on this forum. It would almost appear that guys are more particular than the gals. My guy just says "you only get one shot to do it, so you might as well do it properly". He was talking about the wedding.

Anyway, sending you loads of DUST and hopefully we won''t have to wait too long

you are definitely not alone!

im currently pregnant and have been waiting quite a while for my ring. lol we have already discussed marriage and moving forward with our relationship, but finances are standing in our way. we are both very young (i just turned 21), still in college and i agree that we have been doing things backwards.. but we''ll get there one day.

im hoping he proposes sometime next year. lol i told him he has a deadline, my finger is sick of being naked.

THIS.

I''ve told FF repeatedly that I''d be completely fine with a JoP wedding, or even just declaring ourselves husband, and wife/assuming his last name since we''re common-law, but he keeps pushing for the wedding, since he thinks I''ll regret it later in life. I''ve also tried to tell him that we could do the JoP wedding now, and then do vow renewal later, but he''s against it, since it''s still not the proper way.. *sighs*, men. LOL!
