Why would I decide on a baby at 23 years old?

I know it sounds crazy and planning a baby at 23 may be insane to some but let me explain. Okay let me start by saying I am in no way trying to brag with what I’m about to say and I say it out of the best place possible with good intentions. I know I’m 23 years old but trust me when I say I’m not the average 23 year old you know and I mean that in the most humble place possible. I attended the #1 public university in the world, started my first nationwide business at 19 years old, made my first 100k at 20 years old, bought my first home at 21 years old which I later turned into an Airbnb and now I have multiple businesses, make money in my sleep, engaged, have traveled the world (even my dogs went to Europe), live in one of the most luxury apartments in Newport and I can go on and but my success is not the point of this. I state it to address any concerns people have with having kids at a young age. Many people delay having kids because of financials and stability. And as you can see I was set in that area.

Now that all that is out of the way let me speak from my heart, that was my logical mind that I felt I wanted to address. I have always known in my heart that I wanted to be a young mom and I wanted to have a big family. I always knew that was my true life purpose and nothing would make me happier. A year after dating my fiance I started to get baby fever which naturally is good news. I knew he would be an amazing dad and naturally, my body wanted to reproduce. However, we knew the timing wasn’t right and waited till now but the urge to want kids was getting stronger and stronger. My baby fever was so strong I literally remember looking up if it was normal and turns out it is!! lol

I was in an amazing loving relationship with a man I admired and who I knew would be the best dad and he also wanted kids. Another thing that has always been top of mind is I didn’t just want to be a mom, I wanted to be an active mom, a present mom, I envisioned myself snowboarding with my kids, swimming with them, chasing them and truly being very hands-on. Because of this I always knew I wanted to be a young mom.

Truly in my heart nothing excited me more in life than being a mom and not just a regular mom but the best mom I can be. I can go on and on but I don’t want to make this too long. Just know we felt ready and couldn’t be happier to be having our baby.
