how about we make a list of pros and cons?

our love would grow even more because we’d have someone new to care for together

and we could finally take trips to the amusement park as a family
excitedly writes down "family trips to amusement parks" Oh, the memories we would make!
but we also have to think about the cons too
pauses for a moment, then nods You're right, babe. We have to consider everything. starts writing under cons
we’d have less freedom to travel spontaneously because we’d have to plan around a baby’s needs
scribbles down "more planning required" under cons Yeah, that's true. And we might have to adjust our spontaneity.
and it’ll be expensive to raise a child
scribbles down "higher expenses" under cons Oh, you're right. Childcare, diapers, formula... it can add up quickly.
but there’s help like WIC and child tax credits
