It went something like "we're the oldest, we should be first!". All three brothers are single, so hopefully I'll be okay.

No one in my family has a baby for me to play with so I'm relying on you guys to get broody overload and produce one soonish... just kidding. Kind of.

I just don't think that there's really any perfect time for a baby to come along and change your world - they come when they feel like it and you make the best of it! Everyone's lives, relationships, and perspectives are different - only you know when is good for you. In the meantime, let's just coo over cute little babies and make lots of bootees for other people! I completely agree, honey!

Plus, I don't think there is anything wrong with wanting to be married before having children. Just because it's not best for everyone doesn't mean it's not best for me.

Well, whenever I see an adorable child I get broody and I might make my mum's friend's baby a blanket, but I also don't feel like I want a baby right now. I want a dog first! A pug or a french bulldog. Something cute-ugly. I’m the least broody seemingly.

The only difference is that Jo and I are married (not to each other). Tsk tsk! That’s a very patriarchal perspective, Miss Emily! The only difference is that Jo and I are married (not to each other).

I think we're just all at that age now! At least you two are in a better situation to be able to consider children!! Where I work one girl has just left to go on maternity leave, and another is leaving at teh end of March for her maternity leave, so I have been surrounded by it too! Luckily though, this means I can subdue my baby longings by making lots of cute baby things for the newborns - I have found some really cute things to make (including tiny mary jane style booties - so cute!!!) Also, I manage to convince myself each month that I must be pregnant cos I FEEL pregnant... until I once again am proven wrong and that the swollen belly is due to too many takeaways!!

I do love a silly pun. I am hella broody, also. So much so that if I hadn't moved to London in July, I bet I'd be pregnant by now. I think my body clock needs to have a word with my brain and work something out between themselves. “inconceivably broody” – he he! I do love a silly pun.
