How sure are you about kids? Has one of you had some sort of sterilization?
My ex-colleague surprised me a few months ago announcing that his wife is expecting. I asked him what happened because they didn't plan to have any children for 5-7 years. He said they had always protected themselves, but...that protection assures you 99% only. Oopsie....they got into that unfortunate 1%. After some psychological adjustments (esp.for him), they're excited to have a boy in August

If to look from financial perspective, kids are not cheap
, though very precious
