The common question asked is:
“When are you having a baby?”
Our response is usually vague:
“Soon”, “not now”, “one day maybe”
Or you may hear an excuse,
Of what is now priority:
Careers, traveling, finances,
These “excuses” have seniority
The truth? We think about babies
More than you really know
We’ve discussed names, hobbies, features
And can’t wait to watch them grow
We know that time is ticking,
Complications will keep rising
Longer we wait, the more the risks,
And the more eggs are dying
But it may not be that easy,
Conceiving may take years
Then what about a miscarriage?
See these are all our fears
And family are getting older,
We hope our kids meet them too
But it’s just not the time now;
There are still many things to do
I do admit holding a baby
Make our hearts begin debating,
If a baby came, we’d be excited
To see the blessing God’s creating
Announcing a baby would be great:
Having showers with all of you there
We know IF one was on the way,
You all will show you care
But when the baby would arrive,
Truthfully, that’s what terrifies me
The crying, changing, and sleepless nights;
Oh how different life will be
You see, this is what we think about,
When the subject comes up each day
We’ve talked, cried and even argued,
Asking if one should be on the way
So when you ask a simple question,
Like “when are you having a baby?”
Know that there’s so much more to say
Than “soon”, “not now” or “someday maybe”
