From my humble experience, if you wait for that, you'll never be "ready." I was 29, and my wife was 32 when we got married 6 years ago. While we were on our honeymoon, the bartender said to us, "So, are you gonna have kids?" We told him we wanted to wait a year or two and then start a family. So then he asked,
"Well, you're married, right?"
Us: "Yep."
Him: "Do you have a house?"
Us: "Yep."
"Do you have jobs?"
Us: "Yep."
"Then why wait?"

So, our son Anthony was born 9 months and 2 days after our honeymoon. We did wait 3 years to have Giada though, and I'm glad we did. Not for financial reasons, but just because everything else happened so quickly. My wife and I only dated a year, then got engaged. During our one-year engagement, we bought and fixed our house, and then got married. And then Anthony came along, so it was a really quick 3 years!

Thanks! And I totally agree, my wife & I were married in late 00 and finally had our first in early 02'...I was 26 & the wife was 28 at the time I believe. We figured "now is as good a time as ever" and also gave us time to plan out exactly when we want to have baby #2 and if we wanted baby #3.

Genie is pretty young though so she is in a very good position, James on the other hand....
