Ignoring such nonsense

After reading about my sleeping troubles of late, crazy Kelly seems to think that maybe my body is telling me it wants to have babies!

Honestly, this sounds like what started to happen to me when my body betrayed me and suddenly wanted nothing but babies. It was a scary, uncomfortable, feeling, (at first) as I  had planned on being a feminist writer living alone in Manhattan. This nagging suddenly turned into a full blown obsession, shortly after, and you know the rest. Up to my elbows in poppy diapers now.

Interesting (crazy) thought, but I doubt that’s what it is. As we all know by now, I’ve never really had the desire to actually have children, as in birth them. I don’t deny that my body might change it’s mind someday, but I’ve so far been lacking in the female instinct to procreate. But since I do want to adopt children someday, maybe my body is telling me it would rather be awake tending to a toddler than sleeping in the middle of the night. Could Kelly be on to something?

Well if that’s the case body, you’ll just have to ignore that urge because my life soooo isn’t ready for babies right now.

    Hahahahaha! Babies. I thought that was what happened to people when they actually had one. Sleepless nights. Not prior to. HAhahaaaa. This cracks me up.

    I feel like I was just reading my diary! I’m in the same boat about not really want to give birth to a child. Its a scary thought and I’ve always been more interested in adoption.

    But… who knows!

    And that’s a scary thought about someone’s body craving to have kids!

    I think it’s possible for a body to crave kids….mine is starting to do that again. I’m currently trying to convince it otherwise.
