I've been accused of looking at the whole kids thing from too much of an analytical viewpoint.
In my mind you really need to sit down and have a good long think about this. Firstly will you be able to provide for them and it aint cheap. Secondly can you see yourselves when you're both old, wrinkly and smell of linament still being together?
I find the problem with a lot of people is that they think that tey want to have kids, but tey are putting the cart before the horse, kids should only ever be a by product of a loving relationship, at least you seem to have the horses before the cart, good work.
Put yourself some years into the future, say it all goes ahead and somthing goes terribly wrong, finacially, emotionally, whatever... can you justify your decision to your as yet unborn child.
something will go wrong at some stage and the last thing you need to be doing is second guessing your past decisions.
