Haven, Burk, and KimberlyH - Wow, we're all in similar situations indeed! Thanks so much for your responses and for chiming in to my question.
It's nice to see that other people lead similar lives.
I'm also shocked to sometimes think about FI's age - it's weird to even think of it honestly, because that number is the only thing that makes him that age. Otherwise he'd probably be, eh, low 30s. FI's biological clock hasn't "kicked in" per say, but we do talk about children a lot. He's kind of like yours Burke - "whenever you're ready honey!"
Hehe I like that thought of bringing him back to 27!!
I think we're in the same situation as Haven mentioned - we've talked about it, but we wouldn't want it to happen at the moment. Haha, we've got to get married first anyway. But I'm pretty sure we wouldn't want a honeymoon baby, haha. He'll also be at least 40. We don't "worry" about age, but it does come up in conversation, in that we wouldn't want to wait 10 years. But I hear you all on wanting to make sure you're ready. I totally agree. And I have had some varying moments - sometimes I really want a kid, and sometimes I think about how much a kid would uproot our daily routine and how much we're not ready for that yet. So in my mind, that answers my question as to if my biological clock is really "fully" ticking.
Kimberly, I completely agree about being healthy and taking care of yourselves being the most important thing. Taking care of what's in your control. FI and I have always said that either of us could die tomorrow - you never know what could happen. That's why the age thing didn't matter one bit to us.
Thank you guys again.
