Here's our story. We're both medical students. He's a third year, and wants to do surgery. I'm a second year, and all I know is that I want to have a family and be a doctor. I'm leaning towards primary care medicine at this point. And then maybe subspecializing, depending on circumstances. Well, the thing is, with him going into surgery, he's concerned about being really, really busy. He's also thinking that money is going to be tight, which I don't think is so much of a problem. We live in a more rural area of the south, and 35,000 goes a LONG way here! Well, he's not feeling the baby itch at all, and thinks I'm being somewhat of a "baby crazed woman".
I'm just thinking, there's never going to be a great time considering we're both in medical school, we have to money to get by, it'll just take some coupon clipping and maybe cloth diapers, etc. But we do have the money, we've saved a lot and it's there. Anyway, he's wanting to wait until he finishes his surg internship. So that puts me at my internship year. So if we wait until my 2nd year, that is almost FOUR YEARS from now!!!
Well, every time I see a baby or look at a "Parenting" magazine, which I did on my study break today (I know, bad! it only makes it worse) I think four years is so long! Wahhhh!
anyway... just wondering if anyone else has been in a similar dilemma and any advice or what have you...?
