Mel, Take absolutely no notice of those inconsiderate people saying mean things to you. If you want a child now then don't wait just because of other people's opinions and expectations. When I found out I was pregnant with my DD we had nothing! We had only just gotten engaged, DH had no intention of marrying me ever, I was 20 he was 22, both living at home with our parents and when I told him I was pregnant he wasn't the most supportive person!.
I suppose my whole point is, that at that time in our lives we looked like we shouldn't have been parents, but you know what? our daughter was loved as much as any other dearly wanted child, and she was happy and healthy. Just because we did things in the wrong order (My MIL said that LOL) it didn't make us bad parents/people.
LOL...here we are now, married, have our own house, responsible etc.. and are having trouble TTC #2!

A big hello to everyone else. We have been away for a few days and had to come home early for DH to go to his great aunty's funeral. Will be able to keep up with you all now that I am home (hopefully) Have a great weekend everyone
