Our families are always asking:
"When are you two gonna have a baby?"  
Some our replies:
"Are you voluntering to babysit every other weekend?"
"You're gonna buy us a house right?"
"Have you met Justin?"  ADD is all I can say.
"Well if you keep the baby 'till it's potty trained, I might think about it."
We've been married 5 years are are barely getting used to each other.  Our main focus right now is to buy a home.  We all know how difficult that is with the economy right now.  I'd still really like to go on a honeymoon first.  It's only been 5 years.  
Believe me I've been baby crazy a few times already.   But I can't see it as being a smart move right now.  Zoey is the lastest cure for being baby crazy.  She's sweet and babylike , but Crazy!!  She has so much energy I can just imagine if we had a baby like her, wow!!  So for right now I'm good.  When we get to that point of having a "real" baby (as mom says) I'll make sure everyone and their mamma knows.    But for now 3 four legged monsters are our babies.  We're happy and that's all that matters.
So next time you want to ask this question of a couple put yourself in thier shoes and think about the reasons they may not have started thier family yet.

I know this feeling all too well. With my first marriage, that's all people asked me. And now my second marriage, but not quite as much, probably because I am pushing 40 years old here pretty soon.
Well, just a heads up... Once you have a kid, it doesn't stop! People still ask us if/when we'll have another one, even after baby #3!!!
