Baby Boom in the 21st Century

Recently I have noticed an increase in pregnant woman. Sometimes I wonder if it is a sign that I should start thinking about slowing down my life and settling down. But then I have a one to one with myself and come to the realization I am not there yet. My plate is full and being a bit of a late bloomer into the "career world" I have a few things I need to take care of before I can really consider changing diapers other than my nephews. I am ok with this and I will tell you why.
A year ago when I first began thinking about starting my company I predicted that the recession would bring a baby boom just as it did in the 1940's. History always repeats itself and I couldn't figure out why it wouldn't this time? Well, it somewhat has. Stats Canada has reported a mini baby boom. The Globe and Mail has called this an echo of the echo.
The article is fascinating but the element I most appreciate and possibly because this is the route I have chosen for my life is that more women are giving birth later in the "fertile years." These years being 30's to early forties.
We are postponing having kids until our thirties because we want it all. And why shouldn't we have it all. We want the great career, financial stability and the amazing life experiences before we decide to start having children.
So all you ladies out there who have left their 20's and still plan to have a family one day but haven't yet don't worry you are part of the majority not the minority. We all have our reasons as to why we have waited to have children later in life but I think at the end of the day it is safe to say it's because we want it all.
